The '''Honda CB125''' was a 122 [[cc]] [[motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Honda]] from 1971-1985.  
The '''Honda CB125''' was an 125[[cc]] inline twin cylinder motorcycle produced by [[Honda]] from 1968 to 1970.  Honda also produced a single cylinder version starting in 1970 that is known as the [[Honda CB125S]].


== Specification of [[Honda|Honda]] CB125SS model year 1967 ==


The CB125 came in two major versions the '71-75 "S" version and the '76 and later "J" version although the bikes in the US retained the S designation.  It features an overhead camshaft (OHC) engine with a 9500 rpm [[redline]] and offers 100 mpg. It could comfortably maintain speeds of 55 mph and had a top speed of around 65 mph. The [[engine]] could last tens of thousands of miles with only minimal attention; however, the oil had to be changed regularly (700 miles) to prevent premature wear of the camshaft bearings. The newer "J" model sported a two piece head, 124cc displacement, and a larger carburetor, but it did not perform as well as the earlier models.
