Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. The recent
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection. You must verify that every single item from the February 2024 failure has been professionally rectified, specifically the insecure fuel tank and the leaking front shock absorber. Given the 2023 failure for a 'deformed' handlebar, check for other signs of a crash or drop, such as scratched levers or damaged footpegs.
Negotiate the price based on the likely need for a full service. The record of a drive chain 'likely to fail' and brake pads worn below 1.0mm suggests that basic consumables have been ignored. Request evidence of the repairs made following the 2024 failure, as the sheer volume of faults—ranging from seat security to exhaust mounts—is atypical for this model.
As a 125cc petrol motorcycle, this CBR is economical to run. It falls into a low tax bracket and is typically in a low insurance group, making it an affordable choice for new riders. Fuel consumption is generally low, and parts for this engine are widely available and inexpensive.
However, the maintenance costs for this specific bike may be higher than average initially. The history of neglected brakes and chain suggests that a comprehensive overhaul of the drivetrain and braking system may be required to ensure safety, adding to the first year's expenditure.
Focus your inspection on the nearside front shock absorber to ensure the fluid leak has been permanently resolved and not just wiped clean. Closely examine the drive chain for kinks, rust, or excessive slack, and check the exhaust system for secure mounting points, as both were flagged as critical failures in 2024.
Check the handlebars for alignment and the clutch lever for stability, referencing the 2023 failure for deformation and missing bolts. Finally, ensure the fuel tank is completely secure and that the rider's seat is properly locked in place, as these recurring issues indicate a lack of attention to basic vehicle security.
This red 2006 Honda CBR 125 has recorded 14,678 miles, which is low for its age. However, the vehicle's MOT history is poor, featuring a severe failure in February 2024 involving critical components such as the fuel tank, drive chain, and front suspension. While the model is generally robust, this specific example shows evidence of multiple safety lapses and potential impact damage.
The Honda CBR 125 is generally regarded as reliable, with an average MOT pass rate of 87.9% across over 11,000 analysed vehicles.
