Honda Canada just announced a major evolution of their best selling CBR125R that hit Canadian shores in 2007. The small, simple and agile machine was a joy to ride, and provided an entry level bike that did the job, and at a very low price. The 125R was also the basis for a racing class aimed at young riders, as well as as a popular Entry Program delivered by Honda Canada staff for newly licensed street riders.

The 2011 CBR125R has been revised and improved in virtually every area, to provide a more comfortable ride for all riders, and a sporty disposition with a sweet handling chassis.

The following areas were improved:

• Stiffer chassis
• Wider 100/80-17 and 130/70-17MC tires
• Advanced multi-function instrument display for speed, revs, fuel level, engine temperature, clock and odometer/trip meter
• Larger fuel tank
• New-look full fairing reminiscent of the new VFR1200
• New riding position to accommodate short and taller riders comfortably
• Passenger grab handles
• New compact exhaust system
• Reprogrammed ignition and fuel injection electronics

No mention was made of other changes to engine power and torque.

We will advise you of pricing and availability information as it emerges.
