Just over a week ago I took my 2019 CB125F back to the Honda Dealer. Served me well with my 60 mile a day comute. Did not miss a beat but someing dramtic happened that forced me to take her back and hand over the keys. I PASSED MY TEST lol Finally picked up my , already paid for , 2022 CB500F, and god am I having fun 🙂 Wishing you well and happy travels on the new bike.

Small bikes are good fun. Out here in Thailand, 125s are usually 150/155cc. The extra 25/30cc makes such a difference. Nick

Oh, no... don't kill Bambi! 😮 I'm eager to see what you choose for your replacement commuter bike! 😉👍 --QM

I am in the same predicament, love my CB125F and done 8000 miles commuting since passing by CBT over 2 years ago and now full licence. I agree the only problem is that you need to plan your routes and fast roads are a bit of a struggle so i think my 125 will have to go. Still don't want anything too big (i now have other bikes for that) but do fancy the new Triumph 400!

Im gonna guess you're heading back to the CB500X or the new version of it. You've had them before and it sounds like the best fit for what you need it for.

I've had my CB125f for a year, and it has been great. Took it on a couple of longer weekend riders last year and not a problem with it, it is a very forgiving bike for new riders. Great review as always and looking forward to seeing your next new bike.

I feel the same with some things to be fair. Only been on two wheels for 10 months, car for 11 years. Bought the 23 plate CBF125 brand new but my journey is all A Road which is 3 lanes both side 70mph speed limit with hills and I agree it's so frustrating to ride it to work to the point where I am starting to hate it. Everywhere else, commuting in town or in-roads is great and can't fault it.

Love the sound. It reminds me of my old Suzuki gsxs125 but I'm happy with my new cb750 hornet 😂

Sad to see it go! I got mine after watching your video .

CB500x dude ? If so awesome bikes 😊😊 Pete

Sounds like a Triumph 400 scrambler is on the way.

This is very sad to see you killing off Bambi but look forward to seeing your new steed when it comes.

The last year and a bit I've been commuting on a Forza 125, I love it and wouldn't change it... It took me 20 years of commuting on big bikes to realise, I'm just wasting money and a 125 is just enough... I'll save my old fireblade for the weekend blast!

I love my Honda cb500x 2019 model purchased 2020 don’t feel I could go for a smaller engine bike it’s probably a keeper does everything but I don’t do off road like you. Looking forward to the new bike reveal, you need a better commuter and the cub needs to be kept low mileage as it’s also a keeper for when you do decide to jack in the train driving and take up pizza delivery instead. Ha ha

Triumph 400 speed

Well you surprised me , do I like it not sure but I’m gonna test ride one . Mr Fish you’re saying it bounces around and you love it so I have a name for Your machine “ Bugsy “as in bugs Bunny . Cheers 🍻

Hope you enjoy the Nx 500 😀👍

When there's an almost new 125 at a dealership with something like 30 miles on the clock, what's the likely story? Surely they didn't pass their full licence test with such little practice. Is the bike likely to be a 'lemon' or is it more likely that the rider changed his mind, couldn't get through the CBT or something like that?

New Himilayan? nah, too much in the mould of the CRF!

Sir what valve clearance this bike company recomended plz

Triumph 400 scrambler would be my guess.

It has been a good work horse, fully get the desire to move it on for something different though, and it'll hopefully mean we'll soo more of the cub as well 🙂 I'd really like to get down to owning just three bikes, I think I'd get more value from that as they'd all get used more, currently one of my bikes may as well be off the road, so it'd be good to find a Goldilocks bike that can do the job of two of them 🙂

Reckon you'll miss the huge tank range too mate, I get 350 miles per tank for about £15 on my 2 year old 9,000 miles example, great little bike IMO, My guess your new bike will be a CL500 scrambler

def one of the cb500 range. maybe even the hornet as i think the cbx would be too similar (sort of) to the africa twin.

Got rid of mine about two weeks ago. Sad times but onto bigger and better things for me now.

Fish you’ve done a review on the xadv, great commuter bike, 70mpg, helmet goes under the seat. New bike ???

Just bought one of these bikes mate,what tyres would you recommend as opposed to the stock one's ? TIA.

I bet that rural commute is pretty nasty in the dark. How good is the headlight? My car has amazing led lights and makes the standard 60/55w bulb on my bike feel terrible!

CD500X? Honda Transalp?

See you Bambi 😊

Bye bye Bambi 👋

how much did you get for it? I'm trying to sell mine as I passed my full test very quickly (first time) I'm looking for £2000 for my 2023 cb125f with a top box got it for 3k plus £200 for the top box. Be interesting what you think and if you have any tips on sellling a 125. :) Cheers Chris

You’re definitely getting a 500 hornet I reckon. lol

Triumph 400 scrambler would be good choice.

I would guess a 24 Africa twin to replace Bambi and your current one. Potentially a 500 but then it would make little sense. But then bike purchases don’t always make sense to anyone other than the purchaser - ask me how I know lol

the noisey pipe defiantly didn't make any thing safer though...

Ive got a 71 Plate one of these too that unfortunatly ive got to sell due to back problems, any chance you could say roughtly what you got for it, mine only has just over 5k on it so not to different

The Honda forza 350 is the perfect commuter bike...

CB300R 👍

ADV350 👍

Triumph 400 X ?

Bambi is going 😢 I think you will be getting the new Honda NX500

Do I smell a new Hornet 500 incoming?

TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 400X ???

If you're sticking to Hondas, my guess or vote goes to the NX500 for agility, else the NC750 DCT. Safe rides!

I bet is the new bike is a Honda Transalp!

We need another usa road trip 💪

i reckon the new 500 honda if not nc750 you do like dct 😉

RE Hunter 350

Daw, no CBF challenge against the Zontes GK then 🤨

M1000RR with the carbon kit? Maybe not lol…. I know the X-ADV impressed you, a good option.

Sell all your bikes (except the CRF 250) buy the new AT1100l ES and use it for everything 😊

god it would be so crazy if you just gave it to me for free 🙄 that would be so crazy

Im guessing that saving 10 mins by using the motorway is going to come at extreme cost. As you say ,first world problem, goes with all the social media..

Honda NX??? 😁😁😁

Hornet ?

KTM 390 Adv

Triumph speed 400?

Replace it with a Honda CB300R.
