To commemorate Pakistan’s 75th year of independence, Atlas Honda will release a limited edition CB125F motorcycle. Its photos surfaced online on social media, causing some consternation among bike enthusiasts.
The limited-edition model is painted in white and green, with a white body and green decals. The standard models are available in blue, black, and red paint schemes.
The remaining features are the same as standard models, such as similar alloy wheels, self-start, front disc brakes with dual-piston calipers, a five-speed transmission, and a more angular overall shape than the CG125.
According to reports, Atlas Honda will sell the limited edition CB125F in limited quantities. This would make it a rare bike, warranting a significant premium over the original price.
The standard CB125F is currently priced at Rs. 273,900, but the price of the limited-edition model has yet to be announced.
An Aged Formula
While the CB125F appears to be a new model, it is based on the CG125, which has been on the market in Pakistan since the early 1990s. It also follows the same basic formula as the bike from the 1990s.
The engine remains a slightly modified 124cc single-cylinder 4-stroke pushrod engine producing close to 10 hp and 9.5 Nm of torque and mated to a 5-speed transmission. This formula, while reliable, is old and crude. The new generation of motorcycle buyers is looking for more modern motorcycles.
