Overview

Introducing the 2022 Honda MSX125, a compact yet spirited motorcycle that strikes the perfect balance between sporty performance and urban utility. Designed for riders who crave an agile and lightweight machine, the MSX125 is a fantastic entry point into the world of motorcycling, while also appealing to seasoned riders looking for a fun city commuter. This little powerhouse exemplifies Honda’s commitment to innovation and performance, all wrapped in a stylish and contemporary design. With a variety of eye-catching colors, including the vibrant Pearl Queen Bee Yellow and sleek Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic, the MSX125 certainly makes a statement on the road. At the heart of the MSX125 lies a peppy 124.9cc air-cooled engine that churns out a respectable 9.9 horsepower at 7250 RPM, paired with a torque output of 11.0 Nm at 6000 RPM. This dynamic duo ensures that riders experience responsive acceleration, whether navigating through bustling city streets or cruising along scenic backroads. The efficient 4-speed gearbox and well-tuned fuel injection system allow for smooth gear transitions and an impressive fuel economy of 1.50 liters per 100 km—translating to approximately 156.81 mpg! The lightweight frame, combined with a compact design, allows for nimble handling, making the MSX125 a joy to ride even in the tightest of spots. The MSX125 doesn’t just shine in performance; it’s loaded with features that enhance both comfort and safety. The robust steel mono-backbone frame provides stability, while the USD front forks and mono shock rear suspension offer a plush ride, absorbing bumps in the road with 99mm and 104mm of travel, respectively. The hydraulic disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, with a 220 mm front disc and a 190 mm rear disc that provide confidence even in critical situations. Electric starting adds convenience, and the 6-liter fuel tank means you can spend more time enjoying the ride and less time at the pump. **

Pros

  • Excellent Fuel Efficiency: With approximately 156.81 mpg, it’s wallet-friendly for daily commutes.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing just 103 kg, the MSX125 is easy to maneuver, making it ideal for urban settings.
  • Stylish Design Options: Available in multiple striking colors, allowing riders to express their individuality.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: With only 9.9 HP, it may struggle to keep up with fast-moving traffic on highways.
  • Small Fuel Tank: The 6-liter capacity may require more frequent refueling on longer trips.
  • Minimal Storage Space: Being a compact motorcycle, it lacks significant storage options for carrying gear or personal items.
