Our verdict

Atlas Honda lists the same 56.5 x 49.5 mm bore and stroke for both. The CG 125 (Rs 238,500) is kick start with 4 gears, drum brakes, a 9.2-litre tank and 100 kg dry weight. The CB 125F (Rs 396,900) has self-start, 5 gears, a front disc, alloy wheels, a 12.3-litre tank, 119 mm fork travel and weighs 122 kg.

The CB 125F is clearly more comfortable and stops better, but it is not faster, it has less ground clearance (120 mm vs 132 mm) and its used market is smaller.

For most buyers the CG 125 is the better value and the easier bike to sell. Choose the CB 125F if comfort and a front disc matter to you more than Rs 158,400.

Specs side by side

A value is marked only where better is clear-cut — a lower price, more cc, a bigger tank, more claimed km/l, more ground clearance, a higher rating, disc over drum, self start over kick — and only when the gap is big enough for a rider to notice. Differences too small to feel, like a cc or two or a tenth of a rating point, are left unmarked. “—” means the figure is not published.
