New Honda CBR125R takes it’s design cues from CBR250

Nice to see some new bikes coming out. This is an all new design of the old CBR125 and clearly is based on the CBR 250 which I blogged about last year.

This is a good thing. Despite some reservations about the design it has a ‘proper’ bike appearance and gives some of the choice that I often refer to as missing in the UK market. Similarly there is a new middleweight CBR600F again following these design patterns giving a sort of family effect and the kudos of being able to gravitate towards a larger version of what you ride, if you wish.

I wouldn’t mind doing my commute to work on one of these.
