With a price point of approximately €3725 or £3199, this model offers an accessible entry into the world of two-wheeled mobility, appealing to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Honda SH125i lies a robust 125cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, delivering a commendable 11.67 horsepower at 8500 RPM. This spirited engine, paired with an automatic transmission and liquid cooling, promises a smooth ride while effortlessly navigating city streets.

The SH125i is not only about performance; it comes loaded with cutting-edge features designed for safety and comfort. Its braking system incorporates ABS with a combined three-piston caliper for both the front and rear discs, ensuring confident stops under various conditions. The scooter’s 33mm telescopic front forks and dual damper unit swingarm contribute to a comfortable ride, soaking up bumps with 90 mm and 82 mm of travel respectively. With a seat height of 790 mm, it caters well to a wide range of riders, promoting an easy reach to the ground for added confidence. Plus, the modern PGM-FI fuel injection system enhances fuel efficiency, allowing for longer rides between fill-ups at its generous 7.5-liter tank. **

Pros

  • Agile and Lightweight: The compact design and low weight make the SH125i exceptionally easy to handle, perfect for urban environments.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While great for city riding, the 125cc engine may struggle on highways or steep inclines, limiting versatility.

  • Seat Height May Not Suit Everyone: While the seat height is friendly for many, shorter riders may find it slightly challenging to reach the ground comfortably.
