Trending Questions on Honda SP 125 - Answered by Autocar Experts
My father has been using a Yamaha SZ-R since 2011 and it’s now due for replacement. He is over 60, so I’m thinking of buying a 125cc bike for mixed use on both highways and rural roads. He doesn’t want a scooter. Please suggest a no-nonsense machine that will offer a comfortable ride for him and a pillion.
In the 125cc commuter bike segment, if you want a straightforward, simple machine, your best bet would be the Honda Shine. This is a machine that has proven its dependability over the many years. It has been on sale and will be reasonably comfortable for two-up riding, as well as return excellent fuel economy. You can also take a look at its more stylish sibling, the SP125. It is mechanically very similar but gets a few more features.
While you have said you want a simple, no-nonsense machine, the funky-looking TVS Raider is an option we would also strongly urge you to take a look at. It may look flashy, but as a commuter, it works extremely well and will serve you well.
The lower versions come with a single-piece seat, which will be slightly better for two-up riding. If you want the highest level of safety, then the top models come with single-channel ABS, which is a worthwhile feature to have.
Take your father for a test ride of these bikes and see which one suits him best before making a decision.
I want to purchase a new bike. I am 6 feet 1 inch tall and need a motorcycle that is comfortable for my height. My city riding is around 70km per day. Please suggest suitable options.
Which family scooter or bike is best for both city and highway use for me? My height is 5′3″.
In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently.
Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own.
In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration.
Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.
Take a test ride of all before you make a decision.
I’m planning to buy a new bike. I previously rode a Dio (until 2017) and a Maestro Edge (until 2021), and currently own a TVS Jupiter with 1.6 lakh km on the odo. I work as a field service engineer and travel about 150 km per day. I sometimes carry small spares with me. I prefer TVS or Honda because their showroom is under 1 km from my home. I am 5 ft 6 in tall. Please suggest suitable bike options.
Since you have a long commute, we'll recommend bikes in the 125cc segment as they will be quite fuel efficient, which will be an important factor for you. From Honda's stable, you can take a look at the Shine 125, SP125 and Hornet 125 - all three are based on the same platform, but the Hornet is sportier and has more features than the other two.
From TVS' lineup, you can take a look at the Raider, which will be light, fuel efficient and comfortable and is available across a wide price band too.
Take proper test rides of all options you shortlist before you make a decision.
