Honda CB125R Gets Fresh New Colors for 2026

Honda’s smallest CB naked bike just got a big visual upgrade. The 2026 Honda CB125R now comes in four new head-turning colors: Matt Rock Gray, Matt Lucent Silver Metallic, Zefiro Blue Metallic, and Matt Pearl Diaspro Red. If you’re a rider who loves clean, premium streetfighter looks, these new shades definitely add more appeal.

Honda has been rolling out color refreshes across its entire CB lineup since October, updating models like the CB650R, CB500 Hornet, and CB750 Hornet, some even getting Honda’s new E-Clutch tech. Now, it’s the CB125R’s turn.

Underneath the new colors, the CB125R remains the same high-quality lightweight naked. It still uses its liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that was upgraded in 2021 and updated again in 2024 to pass strict Euro5+ emission standards. The bike produces 14.7 hp at 10,000 rpm and 8.5 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm, enough for city rides, daily commutes, and smooth weekend trips.

Up front, Honda keeps the premium 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks, matched with a rear monoshock. Braking is handled by a 296mm hubless floating front disc with a radial Nissin 4-piston caliper, plus a 220mm rear disc, both controlled by dual-channel ABS, giving riders more confidence on wet or unpredictable Philippine roads.

The bike also retains its full LED lighting, modern 5-inch TFT display, and compact dimensions:

• Seat height: 816 mm

• Ground clearance: 140 mm

• Wheelbase: 1345 mm

• Kerb weight: 130 kg

These make the CB125R friendly for Filipino riders of different heights, especially those looking for a light and manageable entry-level naked bike with premium components.

With its new colors and proven performance, the 2026 Honda CB125R continues to be one of the most stylish entry-level motorcycles in Honda’s lineup, ideal for beginners and seasoned riders who want a compact bike with big-bike attitude.
