You don't want it. My friend's girlfriend has it and she is a tiny little thing - she still finds it SUPER underpowered. I can't imagine what a CBR125 would be like.
I am not a motorcycle guy, they scare the crap out of me, but there is a fairly decent "back route" into work where I would not have to do much freeway and can still do 55. It would be mostly for giggles and 60 mpg. I don't care about going real fast. 70 mph on it would probably scare the crap out of me.
I just like the idea of scooting around and getting high mpg a few times a year for about $2k used.
Tire smoking crotch rockets are not my thing. I will leave that to my four wheel vehicle.

A bicycle is your best bet... 4 miles is like a 15 minute trip max, plus you get a little exercise. Not too long that you'd be swetting like a pig once you arrive, but enough to get your heart going. Bikes are cheap too, and won't cost a dime on gas.

I still think I might get one. It does a 14.5 quarter, thats quick enough. I am only 155 pounds myself.

She said it's not a great highway cruiser, but it might be fun for you! Anything with an engine is fun to me so have a good time

You could look into a 200cc Vespa scooter. petrol, yes, but they run forever and have enough power to get to 75-80mph. i've usually heard scooters are easier to get on/off of and not get dirty compared to motorcycles.
but no, i dont remember the concept.
