BikeDekho Says
Both the Hero Xtreme 125R and the Honda CB125 Hornet are sporty 125cc commuters targeted at a young audience. Both get sporty looks, reliable engines, and TFT screens with smartphone connectivity. However, the Hero bike gets more features like TPMS, ride modes, and dual-channel ABS, which makes it one of the most tech-loaded 125cc bikes in India.
Go for the Hero Xtreme 125R if you want one of the most tech-loaded bikes in its segment. However, if you want an inverted fork and want to save some money, then the CB125 Hornet can be a decent option.

Bike quality and placement are best, but the cowl uses plastic; use a metal screw and update the tyre size. When this bike is complete, no bike can compete with this bike.Read More
