Honda Rebel 125. What does the 125 mean?

Question

I notice the 125, 250 and etc. What are the ranges of these numbers and what is the difference between them?

Answer 1

its cubic centimeter....

Answer 2

it is the cc or cubic centimetre rating of the engine. 125 means a 125cc engine, 250 means 250cc. the bigger the number the larger the engine size etc

Answer 3

That is the displacement (size) of the motor in cubic centimeters (cc's).  This is figured by the bore (diameter of the piston) and stroke (how far the piston moves up and down).   It is an indication of how powerful the bike is.  Actually, pretty much all motors are measured like this (some in cubic inches, but you get the idea).  If you car is a 2.4 liter, it is the same as 2400 cc's.

Answer 4

it means you want a bigger engine. 125 is pretty small. especially when you consider that a Harley Electra glide has a 1550 cc engine

Answer 5

the 125 = 125 cc cubic centimeters. it take 16.4 cc to make a cubic inch.to answer your question its a form of measureing. so  like a 250cc is twice as bid as a 125cc.I hope this answers your question.
