Honda CB125 Hornet On-road Price: In Top 5 Cities
Honda took its own sweet time, but the wait was worth it as the Hornet 125 is feature & performance-packed. That said, it comes at a cost, quite literally!
For the longest time, Honda’s only sporty 125cc bike in India was the SP125, built on the popular Honda Shine 125. Then, finally in 2025, it launched the Honda CB125 Hornet to go up against the likes of the TVS Raider 125, Hero Xtreme 125R and Bajaj Pulsar NS125. That said, in a typical Honda fashion, the 125cc Hornet is pretty expensive and is available only in one fully-loaded variant, priced at Rs 1,15,485 ex-showroom. Here’s how much it will cost in 5 major cities:

All in all, the Honda CB125 Hornet is an aggressive streetfighter motorcycle designed for urban riders. It’s got peppy performance, but the firm suspension may not be for everyone, especially those who commute on broken roads often. We wish Honda offered multiple variants at different price points, as not everyone may want a fully-loaded bike. That’s exactly what TVS and Hero do with the Raider and the Xtreme 125R, respectively.
Disclaimer: The on-road prices are estimates and can vary depending on your local dealership, insurance provider, ongoing offers, added accessories and other costs. The EMI across different cities starts from Rs 3,830/mo and goes up to Rs 4,914/mo, and it is calculated assuming a 9.7% interest rate.
