CB125

Honda introduced the Benly CB125 in 1971 as part of its long-running 125cc road-sport family. It followed earlier Benly CB125-era machines and reflected Honda’s push to offer a compact, easy-to-handle small-displacement sport model with the look and character of the larger CB road bikes. In Honda’s own product archive, the CB125 appears as a 1971 model, and a 1972 update was launched as the CB125JX/CB125, showing that the nameplate was carried into the next model year with a revised version. After that, Honda’s 125cc Benly line moved toward the CB125JX and later twin-cylinder CB125T models, while the original CB125 nameplate itself did not continue as a separate long-running series.
