2 Honda CBF 125

If the CBR 125R sits at the top of the Honda range, the CBF 125 isn’t far behind it thanks to its low entry price and, again, its all-rounder status.

In terms of looks, the CBF is less sporty and more basic than the CBR, but, being a Honda, it’s typically resilient and reliable, shunning any sporty advances in favour of fuel economy.

It’s capped at 65mph but with 11hp at its disposal it returns a whopping 134mpg, says Honda.

That’s how the CBF is set up – it’s basic and stripped back (without ever feeling under-equipped) because it only has the necessary bits. It’s no frills.

And that’s reflected in its price, which starts from just over £2,000. Below you can see an average minimum comprehensive insurance quote for the CBF 125, using The Bike Insurer data.
