Honda has introduced a refreshed version of its entry-level naked motorcycle, the CB125R, for the 2026 model year. While the bike continues to carry a design language similar to the larger CB300R, which was previously sold in India, the latest update focuses primarily on new colours rather than mechanical upgrades.
Four New Colours for 2026
The MY26 Honda CB125R has been launched with a completely revised colour palette. The motorcycle now comes in the following new shades:
Matt Rock Gray
Matt Lucent Silver Metallic
Zefiro Blue Metallic
Matt Pearl Diaspro Red
Except for the updated visual theme, the motorcycle continues with the same hardware as the outgoing model.
