Combined with eSP (Enhanced Smart Power), which reduces internal engine friction, the bike achieves fuel consumption of up to 71 km/l, according to Honda. In real-world conditions, the average is expected to range from 60 to 65 km/l. With an 11-liter fuel tank, the range can reach up to 800 km.
Color display, connectivity, and emissions compliance
Among the tech upgrades, the new CB 125 F features a 4.2-inch full-color TFT dashboard with Honda Road Sync connectivity. The system allows voice control for calls, messages, turn-by-turn navigation, weather updates, and music management.

The 124 cc single-cylinder engine delivers 11 hp and 11 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a top speed of 95 km/h. It complies with the Euro 5+ emissions standard.
Classic looks with trusted build
The motorcycle retains its diamond-type frame, with telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers. Braking is handled by a front disc and rear drum, supported by a Combined Braking System (CBS). The seat height of 790 mm promotes agile handling and rider control.

Despite all the updates, the 2026 Honda CB 125 F remains competitively priced in Germany: starting at €3,199.
Manufactured in India, the bike will be sold in Europe in three colors: Imperial Red Metallic, Marvel Blue Metallic, and Axis Grey Metallic. In India, two additional colors are offered: Pearl Igneous Black and Pearl Siren Blue.
Combining technology, efficiency, and affordability, the CB 125 F 2026 reinforces Honda’s mission to offer smart and accessible solutions for European urban riders.
