2011 Honda CBF 125 M-B 0.1L Petrol · WG11 FXF

A progressive increase in mechanical advisories defines the recent history of this motorcycle, moving from a clean record in 2023 to a series of control and drivetrain concerns. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 2026-08-21, the trend shows a decline in the condition of the braking system and general hardware. The recurring presence of a bent brake lever and the emergence of a binding front brake and a rear brake pedal that does not release correctly indicate a deterioration in the operational efficiency of the primary controls. The recorded mileage of 20,753 miles over fifteen years indicates a low annual usage rate of roughly 1,384 miles. This pattern of light use often results in the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of moving parts due to prolonged periods of inactivity. This is evidenced by the 2024 records flagging a perished front tyre and a notchy steering headbearing, suggesting that the vehicle has suffered more from standing than from active wear and tear. A physical inspection must prioritise the braking system, specifically checking for the binding front brake and the faulty return of the rear brake pedal. During a test drive, feel for any hesitation in the brake pedal release or a lack of smoothness in the front lever pull. The bent brake lever is a persistent defect that should be rectified to ensure proper ergonomics. The side stand should also be checked for structural integrity and secure deployment to ensure the motorcycle remains stable when stationary. The drivetrain and steering assembly require close scrutiny based on previous failures and advisories. The drive chain and sprocket were noted as worn and loose in 2025, so the chain should be checked for irregular tension or kinking. Furthermore, the steering should be tested by turning the handlebars from lock to lock while stationary to determine if the stiffness or notchiness recorded in 2024 has been resolved, as this can significantly impact low-speed handling and stability.
