Honda CBF125 (2013) – Reliable and Economical Project / Commuter

Great commuter bike, known for Honda’s durability. Currently with 91,175 km. Ideal for anyone looking for a cheap-to-run daily bike, a winter hack, or a simple mechanical project.

Condition Details & Current Status

Recent Electrical Update: Just fitted a brand-new battery and a brand-new starter relay.

Current Mechanical Issue: The bike is currently having trouble starting and holding revs. It turns over but cuts out when accelerating (likely due to a seized/weak starter motor or needing a proper battery charge and internal clean after sitting parked). Selling as a non-runner/project for this reason.

Brakes: New EBC brake pads and caliper seals installed, but the rear brake still needs repair/possible replacement.

Cosmetics: Fairings have broken parts and cosmetic marks; some surface rust spots (non-structural) due to normal wear and high mileage.

Road Tax: Overdue (€234 to regularise) — fully discounted from the asking price.

Recent Maintenance Done

New battery and new starter relay
New NGK spark plug
New EBC brake pads & Caliper seal replacement
New air filter
Semi-synthetic 10W40 oil change
Flasher relay installed

Price: €600 (Price dropped significantly from €850 to fairly reflect the €234 overdue tax and the current starting issue).

The engine is solid and has been regularly serviced, it just needs someone with a bit of time or a van to take it home and finish the job.
