The [[Honda]] '''CBR125R''' is an entry level sports/learner legal, 124.7 cc, [[4 stroke]] motorbike.

The CBR125R first appeared on the market in 2004 and has remained unchanged since until 2007. It is manufactured in Thailand alongside the [[CBR150R]], the latter for the Far East market.

It is powered by a liquid-cooled 4 stroke, 2 valve SOHC, single cylinder 124.7 cc engine with a power rating of 10 kW<ref>http://ww1.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/DispatcherServlet?hidAction=Lookup&hidActionDetail=viewproductspec&hidMSGID=11&hidMSGCode=CC125&hidMSGName=125+CC&hidProductID=105&hidSelectedProductCode=CBR125R&hidProductName=CBR125R#focusHere</ref>.
