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. | 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.
