1984 Honda CB125S review from United States of America

"A great learner bike with awesome fuel economy"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Nothing has gone wrong as of yet.

General comments?

This motorcycle is docile and very forgiving of ham-fisted control usage by my friends who are now learning to ride. I find it to be an amusing enough city scoot, and getting 80+ mpg around town almost makes up for the 12 claimed horsepower on tap. It handles reasonably well, and is easy to muscle around thanks to its light weight (claimed 220 lbs.)
