2022 Honda CRF125FB Big Wheel: SIZE IS EVERYTHING.
Introducing the 2022 Honda CRF125FB Big Wheel…
You’d never run a marathon or play basketball wearing shoes that are too small. So why would you ride a bike that doesn’t fit? That’s exactly why we offer the CRF125F Big Wheel: because we know that a 125 is the right size for some riders, even if they’re a little taller. The whole concept is to offer a machine that’s matched to both a rider’s skill and height.
We start by taking our CRF125F and add a longer swingarm and larger diameter wheels. That raises the seat height by two inches, making it a better fit for taller riders. Honda’s proven single-cylinder engine features fuel injection for broader power and better running in cold weather and high altitudes. There’s also a four-speed transmission and a twin-spar steel frame, along with plenty of suspension travel for a plush ride. You even get an electric starter, and some sharp new graphics this year! Big or small, everyone deserves to have some fun. And the Honda CRF125F Big Wheel is rightsized for fun.
Honda’s hugely popular midsize trail bike, the CRF125F is available in both standard and Big Wheel versions, the latter featuring larger wheels, longer-travel suspension and a higher seat that make it an ideal option for taller riders. Both versions make learning to ride a blast, especially since they require minimal maintenance, thanks in part to Keihin electronic fuel injection that delivers year-round 50-state off-road legality. Boasting looks that mimic those of the CRF Performance line, the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel promise years of recreational trail-riding enjoyment.

Honda Offers Robust Lineup of Green Sticker-Compliant Dirt Bikes CRF450X, CRF-F trail family are off-road legal in California for 2022
Honda continues to offer a number of dirt bike models that meet the California Air Resources Board’s new emissions standards for 2022 model-year and later off-highway vehicles. CARB’s updated rules eliminate new Red Sticker vehicle sales for model year 2022 and onward. Model-year 2022 and later off-highway vehicles that are not Green Sticker compliant will not be allowed to operate in California SVRAs.
Announced last March, the 2022 CRF450X continues to be eligible for a Green Sticker and may be legally ridden year-round at SVRAs. Suitable for trail riding, this popular model performs at such a high level that it is also capable in competition, having amassed 14 victories in the Baja 1000, including the last six editions.
In addition, the entire CRF Trail family—the CRF50F, CRF110F, CRF125F and CRF250F—remains Green Sticker compliant. The road-legal CRF450RL may also be legally used in California SVRAs.
“With CARB’s changing regulations, we’ve heard from a number of customers who are concerned about being able to ride their dirt bikes in California public riding areas, but many Honda models are already Green Sticker compliant,” said Brandon Wilson, Manager of Sports & Experiential at American Honda. “We’ve moved our off-road line in this direction over the past several years, enabling us to offer one of the powersports industry’s more substantial lineups of Green Sticker-compliant models. Equipping off-highway vehicles with the necessary clean-running technology isn’t always easy, but doing so is an important way of protecting the environment and keeping public riding areas beautiful.”
Honda’s lineup of Green Sticker-compliant powersports products isn’t limited to two-wheel models, as many Honda ATVs and side-by-sides can also be used year-round in California’s public off-road areas.
2022 Honda CRF125FB Big Wheel Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
PERFORMANCE
RELIABLE ENGINE
The CRF125F Big Wheel’s dependable four-stroke single-cylinder engine offers good performance with a wide powerband—perfect for a wide range of riders, including beginners. Fuel injection makes it even better and more efficient.
HANDLING
PROVEN MANUAL CLUTCH
Honda’s heavy-duty clutch is durable and helps promote smooth shifting.
ENGINEERING
FOUR-SPEED TRANSMISSION
The four-speed gearbox is just like a full-sized motorcycle’s, giving your younger rider all the control they need.
STEEL FRAME AND SWINGARM
Less experienced riders are hard on equipment, especially when they’re just starting out. That’s why we gave the CRF125F Big Wheel a strong, twin-spar-type steel frame and swingarm that are built to handle the bumps and dings of off-road riding.
CLEAN-RUNNING ENGINE
Another benefit of fitting the CRF125F Big Wheel with fuel injection? Now it even meets California’s stringent CARB emissions standards for off-road motorcycles—good news for everyone.
FRONT DISC BRAKE
The front disc brake provides superior stopping power with the front disc rotor drilled for lightness and better wet-weather performance.
FUEL INJECTION
Fuel injection means the CRF125F Big Wheel starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency. And say goodbye to clogged pilot jets when you put this bike away for storage.
TOUGH BODYWORK
Riders can be tough on equipment, and taking a spill is a natural part of learning. But the CRF125F Big Wheel can handle it: with tough plastic fenders, tank and other bodywork, the CRF125F Big Wheel is engineered to shrug off the minor dings of the real world. Plus, we’ve updated the graphics this year too!
CONVENIENCE
ELECTRIC STARTER
Push-button starting makes getting started easier in all kinds of conditions, and the efficient design adds minimal weight.
KEYED IGNITION SWITCH
For added security, the keyed ignition switch lets you control who goes riding and when, important if you have younger riders in the house.
SEALED BATTERY
The maintenance-free sealed battery helps ensure that your CRF125F Big Wheel is ready to ride when you are.
