The Honda SH Mode 125 takes the proven, well loved SH125i platform and simplifies it into a genuinely affordable, city focused package built to keep running costs as low as possible without giving up everyday comfort. It is aimed squarely at riders who simply want smart, dependable transport for busy urban journeys rather than outright performance. It has quickly become a popular choice among riders taking their first steps on two wheels as well as seasoned commuters looking to cut costs.
Its liquid cooled 125cc single cylinder engine, with a 53.5mm by 55.5mm bore and stroke and an 11.5 to 1 compression ratio, uses a single overhead camshaft to produce 8.7kW at 8,500rpm and a strong 12.0Nm of torque low down at just 5,000rpm, giving genuinely eager pull away from junctions and roundabouts. Drive goes through a straightforward CVT automatic transmission with an automatic centrifugal dry clutch, needing nothing more than a twist of the throttle to get moving and keeping maintenance to a minimum throughout ownership.
A telescopic front fork and a unit swingarm at the rear keep the ride composed over typical town surfaces, while a 220mm hydraulic front disc and a 130mm rear drum provide dependable, easy to modulate stopping power. Tyres sized 80/90-16 and 100/90-14 keep grip predictable in the wet as well as the dry. At 118kg, with a 1,305mm wheelbase, it stays light and manoeuvrable through tight traffic, and a low 765mm seat height keeps confident footing at every stop for riders of all shapes and sizes.
A premium LED headlight, keyless Smart Key operation and a spacious flat floor with extra leg room bring real everyday convenience, while a light steel frame keeps the whole package easy to manage at a standstill. Fuel saving tyres and a Euro5 compliant engine trim running costs further still, and a 5.6 litre tank keeps fuel stops infrequent. Its compact dimensions and light steering make it just as easy to live with for a new rider as for someone downsizing from a larger machine. It suits commuters who want smart, affordable, no fuss transport for busy urban journeys.
