Honda SH125i 2016

Honda SH125i 2016

The Honda SH125i has been a practical and reliable companion for years, so it's no wonder that it sells very well. The current version is better than ever, the engine is lively and the start-stop system also saves a little fuel - the green thumb is already up. The handling is very stable thanks to the large 16-inch tyres, but it doesn't get unwieldy in bends either - after all, at 134 kilos ready to ride, there's not too much mass to move. The compartment under the saddle can hold a full-face helmet, and the top case can also hold another helmet or bits and pieces, making it one of the best luggage compartments.

The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.

Cool look

high-quality workmanship

reasonable performance

good brakes with ABS as standard

harmonious handling

low weight

decent storage space under the seat

reasonable price.

somewhat high step-through
