The Honda CB125 Hornet is a motorcycle from Honda. It is currently on sale. With a 123.94 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.
Power comes from a 123.94 cc single-cylinder engine that makes 10.99 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Its stroke is longer than its bore (50 mm x 63.12 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 90 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 100 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 4-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a diamond type frame. Suspension is by upside down fork (USD) at the front and 5-step adjustable Mono-Shock absorber at the rear. Braking is by a 240 mm disc at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear, with single-channel ABS. Single-channel ABS works on the front wheel, which does most of the stopping. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 80/100 - 17 at the front and 110/80 - 17 at the rear.
The seat is 796 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 124 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 166 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,015 mm long, with 1,330 mm between the axles. It carries 12 L of fuel.
Equipment includes 4.2 " TFT Display, an LED headlamp, call and SMS alerts, distance-to-empty readout, gear position indicator, real-time mileage indicator, service due indicator, centre stand, low fuel indicator and low oil indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning and malfunction indicator.

As published for this model; whichever comes first. Check your owner’s manual for the exact schedule.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 240 mm and Drum, 130 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 80/100 - 17 / 110/80 - 17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as 12V, 4.0 Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
