Honda SS125A

The Honda SS125A is a motorcycle that Honda manufactured from 1967 through 1969. It was based on the Japan-only CS125 along with two other variants, the CD125 and the CL125A, all three sharing many common components with the CS125, and the larger CD175 was also similar in design up to 1969, although with more touring-oriented styling. Because many parts were unique to this range and the production run was short, spares are hard to obtain today, and items such as the silencers for the low-slung exhaust are very rare and command a premium. Despite its stylish appearance the motorcycle was criticised for lack of performance and was effectively superseded by the CB125 in 1971. It had 17-inch wheels and a 124 cc twin-cylinder engine basically the same as the earlier CA95 and CB92 layout.
