If straight-line speed is your priority, the CB125F takes the lead. With 5 HP more than the Grom, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Grom has a clear advantage. Weighing in 15kg less than the CB125F, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Grom. Its seat height is 29mm lower than the CB125F, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the cb125f offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
