My New Bike: Honda CB125F (deluxe 2019)

[nomee_46]

Purchased today
Purchased For Rs. 163500/- plus Rs. 5500/- (for registration/token tax/number plates etc)
--> The bike riding experience is nice and initial torque at low rpm is very good (the bike is responsive)
--> Bike Comfort level is better than CD70, CG125, CG125S however less than CB150F and Pridor (both are OHC vibration less)
--> Vibrations are much less than CG125 and even less than deluxe
--> Road grip of bike is very good (bike weight is one factor122KG + fuel) however due to more weight its not that easy to ride in rushy narrow bazars
--> Linear gear shift is an advantage plus for me as I am more comfortable with linear gear shifting (instead of reverse gear shifting)
--> its a sports + family bike as you may use the fuel tank (having handle bar with rod) for kids to sit in + rear seat is a bit straight rather than slope-based as in YBR-YBG
--> Fuel average is around 35-38
--> headlight is very decent
--> information cluster looks nice at night
--> Fuel gauge is a nice feature to have

---

Problems I faced yet:
--> Clutch cable adjustment was not done at time of purchase of bike that is resulting in gear shifting problems in 4th and 5th gear
--> Break light do not blink when Rear break is pressed

---

Still waiting for number plates and bike registration smart card so that I may complete its running with ease

Cons:
--> I miss the comfort of Pridor (although pridor was under powered for me however its comfort level was more than CB125F)
--> suspension of this bike is better than CD/CG/CGS/Pridor however CB150F suspension is better than it
--> Breaking power is very decent, the way the bike speed-up the same way it comes down
--> Alloy Rims are of good quality
--> If Yamaha or CB150F introduce the linear gear shifting with OHC engine then people like me (who dislike reverse gear shifting) may opt for OHC bikes

---

Conclusion:
--> CB125F is a nice bike overall that has sporty looks and may be effectively used as a family bike well for daily commuting purposes.
--> It has great pick, decent top speed and very good breaking power with handsome suspension having linear gear shift pattern

Congratulations bro​🏻

Thanks Omer bhai, I will keep posting my experience as I use the bike. Previously I had kept Suzuki 80 till 2013 and then Pridor. CB125f is my third bike

Did you check the CB 150F, isn't it better than the 125F with more goodies.

[nomee_46]

Yes I checked it but I don't like return shift pattern gears , if CB150F or YBG 125 had linear shift gears I would definitely have gone for any one of these
One reason to choose CB125F over CB150F/YBG125 is because it has linear shift gears

Today I received Computer Receipt and msg from Atlas Honda , now I will apply for registration
The bike has comparatively (with respect to old deluxe 125) minor vibrations , Suspension is better than Pridor, road grip is good also, however I do feel that Pridor had zero vibrations but cb125f have I would say a little vibrations. I don't feel any noticeable difference CB headlight and that of Pridor , breaking is good, however handling in rushy bazar in not that dynamic due to more weight however good for open roads . one more thing , due to its sporty tank children sitting on tank may not feel comfort

Nabeel bro, I like the pick of OHV , CG simple ki suspension achi nahi hay and I live in a village where the roads are rough, so by cb125 f I got good suspension, linear gear shift, 18" wheels, pick of OHV, disk breaks, sporty tank, also back seat may be used by family, moreover Jo handle bar mein rod hay us say Aap tank par short distance kay liye bachay bhi bitha saktay hein. Overall very good as per my requirements

You have made a good decision as per your requirements. Just my point of view, Suzuki GS 150, I guess, is more comfortable with linear gear compared to CB 125F and could perform better on uneven roads with minimum vibrations.

I have been working since last few days to select a suitable bike. In this regard, I have studied owners' review on different bikes and also have watched youtube videos. I have a GLI for my regular residence to work commute and vice versa. And have a Chinese 70CC bike which I use for little household chores within the vicinity/ neighborhood. Using this same bike since last six years and the odo has yet to cross 40,000 mark.

Recently decided to buy a better bike and have started my search. After all the search, views, and reviews I become inclined towards CB 150F. Will purchase the same perhaps after the Eid.

[nomee_46]

Good decision
I had two reasons for not selecting GS:-
1- The service centre is 35 KM away from my home and only 2 available in the city
2- In reviews I read alot of quality issues with the bike
I had used Japan made Suzuki 80cc (model 1983) for 15 long years and that was a solid bike (still in use of my dad), Pak Suzuki could not maintain that quality over times. However GD 110 is good in terms of quality but it is expensive bike(in 100-110cc class) and ground clearance issue persist in it

headlight is decent

9 months completed of driving this ride. awesome bike. rear tyre should be bigger than stock. 90/90 is not good for this weight. CB150 rear tyre is okay for cb125f, i'll change it insha ALLAH
is there no other pakwheeler in bikes forum wd this ride

[nomee_46]

is this the same CG125 Honda engine in this bike?

Yes same as that of CG125-SE

[nomee_46]

average i am getting is between 30-35 km/litre last tank gave me 32.5 km/litre to be exact. ride quality is excellent. No issues yet however I am feeling that right front shock is leaking oil however so good so far.
