Overview

Introducing the 2020 Honda SH125i, a stylish and efficient scooter that perfectly balances practicality and performance. Positioned as a versatile urban commuter, the SH125i is designed for those who crave both functionality and flair in their daily ride. With its sleek lines and modern aesthetics, it's not just a mode of transportation; it's a statement on two wheels. Whether navigating busy city streets or cruising through suburban neighborhoods, the SH125i is engineered to provide a seamless riding experience while effortlessly fitting into the hustle and bustle of urban life. At the heart of the SH125i lies a responsive 124.90 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a robust 12.04 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and a torque of 11.50 Nm at 7,000 RPM. This dynamic powertrain ensures that riders enjoy an agile and spirited performance, making quick acceleration and smooth cruising a breeze. The liquid-cooled engine, equipped with Honda's PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system, not only enhances fuel efficiency—boasting an impressive fuel consumption rate of 2.11 litres per 100 km—but also ensures a clean and responsive throttle response. The automatic gearbox and centrifugal clutch simplify the riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead without the hassle of manual shifting. The SH125i is not just about engine performance; it is packed with features and technology that enhance comfort and safety. The scooter's tubular steel underbone frame provides a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, contributing to its nimble handling and stability. Equipped with ABS on both the front and rear 240 mm discs, the braking system instills confidence, allowing riders to stop on a dime even in emergency situations. The 33 mm telescopic front fork and dual-damper swingarm rear suspension offer a smooth ride over uneven surfaces, while the comfortable seat height of 799 mm ensures accessibility for a wide range of riders. With electric start and a variety of color options, including the eye-catching Pearl Splendor Red and sleek Matt Cynos Grey Metallic, the SH125i is as functional as it is stylish. **

Pros

  • Excellent Fuel Efficiency: With a fuel consumption rate of 2.11 litres per 100 km, riders can enjoy longer journeys between fill-ups, making it perfect for daily commutes.
  • Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing just 123 kg, the SH125i is easy to maneuver, ideal for urban environments and tight parking situations.
  • Advanced Safety Features: The inclusion of ABS on both front and rear brakes enhances stopping power and rider safety in various conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Highway Use: While the engine is well-suited for city riding, it may struggle to keep up with faster highway speeds, making it less ideal for longer, high-speed trips.
  • Small Storage Space: The under-seat storage may not accommodate larger items, which could be limiting for those who need more cargo capacity.
  • Less Customization Options: Compared to larger motorcycles, the SH125i offers fewer aftermarket customization options, which might disappoint enthusiasts looking to personalize their ride.
