The Honda SH125i is a scooter for everyday city riding, with a flat footboard and a 16-inch front wheel. For the current generation, Honda has revised the suspension, seat, lighting and cockpit. The engine meets the EURO 5+ emissions standard.

Character and use of the SH

The SH125i is designed for daily riding in the city. The flat floor makes getting on and off easier, and at the front the scooter rolls on a 16-inch wheel.

The revised suspension with two rear shock absorbers and the more comfortable seat are designed for a smooth ride. With 130 kg and a top speed of 98 km/h, it is made for the city and its suburbs.

Engine and safety

The eSP+ engine has four valves and 125 cc displacement, produces 9.6 kW and runs smoothly and efficiently. The tank holds 7 litres.

Honda's HSTC traction control keeps an eye on the torque at the rear wheel and so helps on slippery roads. An improved alarm system protects the scooter when it is parked.

Cockpit, lights and storage of the Honda SH125i

The adjustable TFT cockpit can be connected to Honda RoadSync. Via the 4.2-inch colour display and the left switchgear, you control calls, messages, music and navigation. A USB-C socket charges your smartphone on the move.

The headlight and tail light are LED. A volume of 28 litres is available under the seat, and Honda also offers a Smart Top Case.
