    Sporty Yet Practical Commuter Option

    The CB 125 Hornet is sporty for a commuter. I get around 50-51 km/l in mixed riding. Its 12.1-litre tank allows for longer weekend rides. Front USD forks and rear mono-shock suspension absorb bumps well. Front disc and rear drum brakes give precise stopping. Tyres are 80/100 front and 110/80 rear.

    Small But Mighty

    The CB 125 Hornet surprised me the first time I rode it. For a smaller bike, it feels sporty and sharp. The styling is bold, and it handles corners like a pro. I use it for quick city runs and short trips out of town. When I tested its mileage in city, I got around 46 kmpl.

    Most Stylish & Practical Bike in 125cc Segment

    I pre-booked the CB125 Hornet the day Honda unveiled it. I wanted something sporty in the 125cc range, and this fit the bill. It feels premium for its class with upside-down forks, that TFT screen, and sharp design. It's perfect for city rides and occasional weekend runs.
