2023 Honda SP125 details

The Honda SP125 is powered by a 10.8hp, 10.9Nm, 123.94cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine that's paired to a five-speed gearbox.

There are no changes to the bodywork, however, there’s a new Mat Marvel Blue Metallic colour on offer. Under the bodywork is the same, diamond frame as before, suspended by a telescopic fork and twin, preload-adjustable rear shock absorbers. The big change is the introduction of a wider, 100mm rear tyre that should improve grip and cornering abilities to some extent.

In terms of features, the SP125 has an LED headlight and a digital instrument cluster that displays real-time fuel consumption data.
