2023 Honda Trail125

LITTLE BIKE. BIG ADVENTURES.

The Honda Trail125 is a mega hit with riders all across the world—and it’s easy to see why. It’s inspired by our timeless classic Trail 90 and Trail 110, but completely updated and modernized with a bigger, more powerful 125cc engine, fuel injection, disc brakes, and an electric starter. There’s even front-wheel ABS! Like the originals it still features our world-famous no-clutch semi-automatic transmission, a frame with a low step-over height, and an integral luggage rack. This year we’ve further updated the engine with a new bore and stroke, but you get the same peak horsepower, wide powerband, and excellent fuel efficiency that have always helped make this great bike such a hit.

Handling

STANDARD ABS: Our front-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (comes standard on the Trail125) can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces.
17-INCH WIRE-SPOKE WHEELS: Real dirt bikes use spoked wheels, and so does the Trail125. They’re big enough to roll along smoothly even in rugged terrain, and they’re strong enough to handle riding on dirt roads (or gnarly city streets).
FRONT SUSPENSION: We gave the Trail125 plenty of suspension travel, for a smoother off-pavement ride. The telescopic fork is also protected by rubber accordion boots to keep dust out—and give it a cool retro look.
TWIN REAR SHOCKS: The Trail125’s blackout twin rear shocks and coil springs not only look proper, but they also do a great job of smoothing out the road and trail. Preload adjustment is intuitive and easy.
CENTERSTAND: On a bike as rugged as the Trail125, a centerstand just makes sense. It gives you more parking options than just a sidestand, especially if you’re carrying cargo on the rack. It also makes servicing your own bike easier.

Performance

125cc FUEL-INJECTED ENGINE: Nobody can match our reputation for engines, and even though the Trail125 is relatively compact, it’s a giant in terms of performance and reliability. Air cooling keeps it super simple, too. We’ve updated it for 2023 with a new bore and stroke, but you get the same peak horsepower, wide powerband, and excellent fuel efficiency.
EASY TO PARK: Because the Trail125 is compact, it’s easy to park in the city, to load and unload from an RV, and to store when you’re not riding. There’s always room for a Trail125!
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES: The Trail125 features a 220mm front single disc brake for excellent stopping power, along with a 190mm rear disc. There’s even standard front-wheel ABS.
UPSWEPT EXHAUST AND INTAKE: Dirt bikes keep their intake and exhaust up high for better clearance and to keep them further from dirt and water. That’s what we’ve done with the Trail125 too. The exhaust also features a heat shield, and makes a big contribution to this awesome little bike’s overall style.
TRAIL-TUNED GEARING: We changed up the Trail125’s final-drive gearing compared to the Cub model. Adding three teeth to the rear sprocket gives it better hill-climbing ability on trails and dirt roads—the kind of places you’ll want to explore.

Style

RUGGED STEEL BACKBONE CHASSIS: The Trail125 is built for adventure. That’s why we gave it a special, reinforced steel backbone chassis. The design makes getting on and off easier, while providing great ground clearance and a rugged, ready-for-anything look.
ROOMY SEATING: With a 31.5-inch seat height, and a taller handlebar, the Trail125 has a nice, roomy cockpit that makes it comfortable in just about every riding situation, from urban commutes to dirt roads.
MULTI-FUNCTION DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS: When it comes to instruments, the Trail125 is fully equipped. The digital display features a speedometer, odometer, A&B trip meters, fuel gauge, clock, and indicator for low/high beam.
ROUND HEADLIGHT: The Trail125’s round headlight looks retro, but its LED performance is totally up to date and helps provide excellent illumination and visibility.
UNDERSEAT FUEL TANK: With its 1.4-gallon fuel tank and awesome fuel efficiency, the Trail125 offers a spectacular range—up to 220 miles of estimated economy. The tank filler is under the seat so it’s easy to access.
STANDARD ENGINE SKID PLATE: Who knows where your adventures are going to take you. That’s why we gave the Trail125 a sturdy skid plate and a pair of front brush-guard tubes for some added off-road protection, along with 6.5 inches of ground clearance.
CARGO RACK: Need to pack along some camping equipment, or gear to survive the zombie apocalypse? Check out the Trail125’s large, flat rear cargo rack. Add our accessory cargo box and you’ll be ready for anything!

Technology

FOUR-SPEED SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: The Trail125 features a four-speed semi-automatic transmission you shift with your left foot, like a traditional motorcycle. But here’s the unique part: there’s no clutch to worry about.  Plus, the Trail125’s heel-toe shifter makes operation even easier, especially in boots.
LED LIGHTING: Old-school light bulbs? Forget about them. The Trail125 features a full LED lighting package that’s lighter, brighter, and longer lasting. The headlight has a traditional round shape, while the indicators are squared off for a rugged look.
ELECTRIC STARTING: Turn the key, push a button, and you’re on the road. But because adventure sometimes throws us an unexpected curve, we’ve also given the Trail125 a secondary kickstart lever, just like the original Trail 90 and Trail 110 had.
