Honda unveiled a number of new models at the 2011 Sydney Motorcycle Show, and hidden among the big-ticket items such as the CBR1000RR and Gold Wing was the budget-priced CB125E.
Set to go on sale in early 2012, the naked CB125E will become the 12th entry in Honda’s learner-approved motorcycle and scooter range, and retail for just $1990.
At that price point you won’t get the world, but there’s more than enough for the short commute: a 124cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine engine, twin rear shocks, a drum rear brake, a low seat height and electric start.
And if the CB125E is like any of its small-bore, four-stroke predecessors, including the original CB125, it will put up with being shamelessly mistreated and still produce some first-rate fuel consumption figures.
The CB125E will be available in three colours: red, white and blue.
