For years the NSR125R was Honda's offering in the 125cc supersports market. Made exclusively for Europe it was styled for performance with an impressive 2-stroke engine. But with growing environmental concerns and the implementation of Euro 1 emissions, the NSR had to be discontinued in 2003.

Meet the new CBR125, which is set to take up from where the NSR left off. The new 4-stroke 125cc replacement is sure to appeal to a wider segment of new and young riders looking for some competitive spice in their first real motorcycle. The CBR125 takes its style lead from the CBR600RR and new CBR1000RR Fireblade, mimicking their supersports styling and colour schemes. The aggressive race replica style dual headlights and stepped seat only add to the supersports image.Other features include electric start for ease of use, a 6-speed gearbox and disc brakes front and rear.
