Overview
- Team-BHP’s latest evaluations, published Feb 23–24, confirm Honda’s claimed specs and frame the CB125 Hornet as a youth-leaning 125cc with notable strengths and tradeoffs.
- The bike features a 4.2-inch TFT with Honda RoadSync connectivity, all-LED lighting, a USB-C port, Showa USD forks and single-channel ABS.
- It uses a 124 cc single making 11 BHP and 11.2 Nm, feels quick to 60 km/h, cruises comfortably at 75–85 km/h, and benefits from a 124 kg kerb weight and a 1,330 mm wheelbase for agile city handling and stable highway manners.
- A 12-litre tank and observed ~55 km/l economy yield a practical real-world range of roughly 450–500 km.
- Pricing stands at about Rs 1.14–1.15 lakh ex-showroom (indicative Delhi on-road Rs 1.31–1.32 lakh), with reviewers noting mixed fit-and-finish, average hard-braking feel with intrusive ABS, and omissions versus rivals such as ride modes, a rear disc, cruise control and dual-channel ABS.
