Aggressive Dirt Bike Look
The all-new XR125L was specially designed to give Europe's young street riders a heady taste of the great outdoors while looking as super-smart on the street as it does on the trails. True to the XRL's aggressive dirt bike look, attention quickly focuses on its sharply styled tank-side shrouds, which project the dynamic off-road look of Honda's most popular race-winning motocross machines while directing a cooling flow of air to its rugged single cylinder engine. Two-piece sidecovers feature a number plate design in keeping with established off-road racer tradition, while the large front fender bears a strong resemblance to the bright polypropylene unit mounted on Honda's popular new CRF450R 4-stroke motocross champion.

Bright 35W Headlight
Its bright 35W headlight is encased in a compact polycarbonate shell for lighter weight and a more aggressive off-road look, and its compact meter assembly takes position above the steering head, providing an easy-to-read half speedometer and the usual assortment of indicator lights for confident operation.

Comfortable Bolt-On Seat
The XRL's broad, comfortable bolt-on seat offers ample room for two, and an easy 820mm reach to the ground which combines with the compliant long-travel suspension to provide an ideal match of on-road and off-road riding capabilities

Steel Tube Rear Carrier
A strong, steel tube rear carrier adds to the XR125L's everyday convenience by providing a handy place to secure larger items. Built to carry up to 10kg with ease and assurance, the carrier's sturdy side rails also offer a comfortable hand hold for pillion passengers.

Rugged 4-Stroke Engine
The all-new XR125L is powered by a rugged and reliable air-cooled 124cm3 Honda 4-stroke engine tuned for strong low-to-midrange performance and an impressive surge of acceleration that will appeal to both novices and experts alike. Its one-touch push-button electric starter combines with a precise, maintenance-free digital electronic ignition to ensure quick and easy starts.

Large-Volume 12-Litre Fuel Tank
The XRL's large-volume 12-litre fuel tank offers a long, comfortable range of riding enjoyment between fill-ups that averages about 300 kilometres and provides daily commuters with nearly a week's operation before switching to reserve.

Reliable Brakes/Dual-Purpose Tyres
Braking duties for the XRL's lightweight wire-spoked wheels are handled by a wide, 240mm front disk brake stopped by a lightweight and responsive dual-piston calliper, and a reliable standard 110mm leading/trailing shoe rear drum brake. Tyres are rugged, wide-bodied dual-purpose treads designed to provide an easy, comfortable ride on the street and confident control when straying off the beaten path.

Large-Capacity Exhaust Silencer
Routed up under the seat like most of Honda's off-road bikes, with an attractive chrome-plated steel end cap peeking out from under the right-side cover, the XR125L's large-capacity 3-litre canister-style exhaust silencer combines with the engine's inherently quiet 4-stroke operation to minimise annoying noise output, while being tuned for top low-to-midrange performance.
