Introduction:

This edition of the Honda C 125 Super Cub ABS is the 4 speed / Automatic version and was first brought out in 2018.

The 2018 C 125 shares its Wankel engine and Standard style configuration with the likes of the 2020 Yamaha XSR 700 Twin and the 2018 Yamaha XSR 700 Twin. Alternatively, if you're looking for other bikes which share the C 125's Standard style with a similar size of engine then how about the 1967 Suzuki T 125 Two Stroke | 1967cc.1986 Kawasaki AR 125 Single Cylinder | 1986cc.

Power and Torque:

Weighing in at 109 kgs (240 lbs) this makes the Honda C 125 Super Cub ABS in the same weight category as the 2025 Yamaha WR 250 F or the 2024 Suzuki GSX-R 125 EFI, give or take 50kg.

The 2018 Honda C 125 shares the same bhp with the Honda MSX 125 Grom - [2025]

In terms of power the 125cc 2 valve Wankel 1 cylinder engine produces 9.2 bhp (6 kW) @ 7000 rpm similar to the 2025 Honda MSX 125 Grom [9.6 bhp (7 kW) @ 7250 rpm] or the 2024 Honda XRE 300 Adventure ABS and Rally [25.4 bhp (18 kW) @ 7500 rpm].

The SOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 8.1 lb-ft (10.9 Nm) @ 5250 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2025 Yamaha WR 250 F [17.8 lb-ft (24.2 Nm) @ 8100 rpm] and the 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator 500 Twin [31.7 lb-ft (42.9 Nm) @ 7500 rpm].

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 1996 Kawasaki BJ 250 Estrella RS [99.3 lb-ft per ton] and the 2007 Kawasaki BJ 250 Estrella [99.3 lb-ft per ton].
