CharacterIt has a friendly, low-stress character defined by light handling, modest power, and fuss-free reliability rather than excitement.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2013 Honda CBF125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 792mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Honda CBF125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
