Motorbike Profile:
The Honda Benly CM125T was introduced in 1978 as a small-displacement American sports model equipped with a 124cc air-cooled 4-stroke 2-cylinder engine. At that time, the only 2-cylinder engine in the 4-stroke 125cc class was the Honda 125T (twin T) series, including the sports type CB125T (1977-), the business model CD125T (1977-), and the American model that appeared later. It became a lineup of three models called CM125T. Both the CB125T and CD125T formed long series until 2001, but the CM125T became a relatively short-lived model.
This Honda CM125T has a unique steering wheel shape, a low seat where both feet can be easily placed on the ground, and an engine that is easy to use even at low revolutions, so you can enjoy a relaxed ride. It is a two-wheeled vehicle that is easy to use and enjoys, different from conventional uses such as riding sporty and riding to carry luggage.
