Nothing flash, but this Honda CB125R (designed and manufactured in India) fits my requirement for cheap, easy to maintain, reliable transport.
Bought new about mid January 2024, when my 2020 Honda PCX looked likely to take some time to get sorted, and is still not done. NZ Honda motorcycle importer, Blue Wing Honda, has not seen fit to stock parts for routine maintenance to the drive-belt and variator clutches after 65,000 km on the road. Still awaiting parts to be delivered from Thailand (now mid April).
Have come to like the wee CB125F, which cost $3850 ($US 2300) new on the road. Gets better than 140 mpg (US). At about 118 kg wet (260 pounds), it is great for towns and byways, and it handles gravel roads with aplomb. Tops out at a bit above 65mph, but easily reaches and sustains 55 or so on highways; plenty fast enough for NZ roads where I am at. Has turned out to be quite comfortable on long trips..... I have already done about 4,500 miles on it..... doing about 350 miles between 2.5 gallon refills.
