Honda CB125X: Honda R&D Reveals 125cc Adventure Bike Concept
An entry-level adventure bike concept that makes even seasoned riders drool.

For the fourth successive year, Honda’s booth at EICMA featured futuristic concept machines in its ‘Design Studio’ area. This year, Honda showcased a new 125cc design concept from Honda’s R&D center in Rome: the CB125X. The concept bike is based on the new-for-2018 CB125R platform — an entry-level sport bike model available in overseas markets.
The all-white CB125X is an adventure-focused ‘X’ model, with a multitude of chiseled lines and a futuristic look. The lines are clean, while the seat and frame meet seamlessly in a forward-leaning stance that is inspired by Rally Race bikes. This eye-catching concept features a unique three LED headlight design, one central and one tucked inside each side fairing, to give an added sense of safety during night rides in addition to a unique appearance. Also visible, is a tall windscreen and what looks like a decent sized fuel tank to enable longer adventures. Wrap-around hand guards and a full-coverage skid plate also give it the protection needed when the asphalt ends and the dirt riding begins.
According to Honda, the CB125X was developed to stimulate the imagination of entry-level riders considering their possibilities for a two-wheeled lifestyle. But even as veteran adventure riders we can appreciate the lightweight, compact and aggressive design of this mini adventure machine. The 125cc engine might not be the most popular choice for the power-hungry North American Market. Yet if it were equipped with a 300cc engine, we expect it would be a sales hit and attract a lot of fresh blood to the world of adventure riding. All we know is we want one for our garage.
We’ll be watching the CB125X concept closely and hopefully it evolves into a production model in the next year or two. Let’s get this one to market ASAP Honda!

Era la tornado, la que había que hacer!!!!
This what the CFR450L should have and could be!
make it a 650 and you’re sold!
Stunning looks!
This kind of design around the CB500X motor, or a smaller capacity AT motor would be unreal.
Wow, now that is a cool looking bike. Clean lines, love the headlight assembly, smooth fender lines above and below. If they use this design layout to springboard to little more displacement, this would sell like mad. Well done honda, now just produce it
Tank is too high up. Hurts center of gravity
I am 17 years old, I would love to ride a bike like that 125 cbx , it’s out of this world. Please get it to market..
Come on Honda put the cb500x engine in that thing and take my money already …this is getting stupid! Build what we want!
