Good but expensive

6 months ago by Amit Mazumdar1,469 views

This is the most stylish bike in 125 segment. I bought it around 15 days before and it is giving 75+ mileage. Overall a good bike. But the down side is it's price. It should be around 75000(drum). The meter consoles are very use full. Suspensions are I think little bit hard than other bikes in this category.

1. Buying experience was quite smooth. Got the bike within 10 days
2. Riding experience
> I haven't ridden a lot of bikes in the same 125cc segment, the only ones I have ridden are the thunderbird350, classic500 and the original fz. All of them were amazing. That being said this bike is comparable to them not better but just comparable.
>the suspension is quite good, couldn't feel much of the potholes on the roads.
It's a smooth(-ish) ride.
>fairly maneuverable. The seating is comfy. Mirrors are decent, you get a good view of what's behind you.
>brakes are satisfactory
>i do occasionally feel some heat on my right shin.
>gear shift is not exactly smooth
3. Looks, performance etc
>it's not the best-looking bike but it looks quite good for a commuter.
>as for performance, I'd say it's satisfactory, you get sufficient torque uphill.
>the instrument cluster is clean, it's fairly easy to get a quick glance during a ride. You get a gear shift indicator, a clock, trip a, trip b, instantaneous mileage and average mileage(based on trip a). And you have the usual indicators and horn but the headlights are very convenient. They merged the passing light and the high beam, you can click it so it functions as a blinker and you can click it outwards to turn on the high beam, quite nice.
They also merged the engine kill switch and the ignition button so if you press it, you can start the bike.
>mileage is probably the best in class, according to the bike I'm getting a little over 80km/l, take from that what you will. I stay under 60kmph so...
4. Minimal maintenance cost and it's honda; they have service centers everywhere
5.
Pros:
>it's a commuter
>mileage
>slightly cheaper than its rival tvs raider
> suspension
Cons:
>occasional heat to my right shin
>not exactly heavy
>not the smoothest gear shift.

The buying experience is good bike riding is good no word about mileage but quality compare to market competition honda sp 125 is very bad my bike get off and service people are not able to rectify the problem and bike is laying in service center for more than one week

Hello riders this is an in-depth detailed review of the honda sp 125 2020
1. I got my honda sp 125 in October 2020 and the buying experience in the honda showroom was decent I got the delivery of the bike 1 week after booking
2. Now, talking about the riding experience when you sit on this bike I would say that the posture is very slightly committed. The seat height is 790mm anyone who is a minimum 5 feet in height can easily ride it my height is approx 5"11 so I had no problems with it. Then moving onto the instrument cluster I loved it the fully digital display features a gear position indicator too which is a very major feature for new riders another highlighting feature is the real-time mileage indicator which tells you the real-time mileage of the bike when u are riding it all other basic stuff is present such as speed, time, fuel gauge, kilometres driven and fuel range tachometer could be added but no issues regarding that then come the build quality the tank of the bike easily catches scratches so it is advisable to use the tank pad the build quality of this bike is kinda average the plastic parts are weak and can be easily be broken. Then we move onto the whole riding experience this bike features a self-starter with esp which is silent start technology by honda the cutch of the bike is super light as compared to the rivals the engine is extremely refined as we can all expect from the Japanese engines. Vibrations are negligible in lower rpms and they can be felt on the handlebars in higher rpms but it is not irritating at all. The bike features a 5-speed gearbox unit which is a one down and four up the pattern the gearbox is a slick and precise unit with no issues regarding the gear shifting. The bike is currently giving the mileage of 65 kmpl which is not bad at all considering the traffic of Lucknow the mileage depends on the way you ride the worst i got was 55 kmpl because of rash riding. On the highway, you can extract even more somewhat like 70kmpl+ which is an icing over the cake considering the fuel prices
3. The look of the bike is up to the mark, especially from the side and the front the rear could be got better and that 80 section stock tyre is awful it not only spoils the whole look but it is not so stable at 70+ km per hour the max, I took this bike was 112 km per hour in the stock tyres and it was not giving me confidence at all so I recommend changing to tyre to at least 100 section it will reduce the performance and mileage slightly but it will give the confidence that the rider needs at high speeds indicators are halogen and offer a decent experience. Now comes the most important part the performance on paper it says 125cc fuel-injected air-cooled with 10.5 bhp and 11nm torque but in practical life, I can clearly say that the low-end torque of this bike is absolutely phenomenal being a 125ccc the way it pulls in 2nd 3rd and 4th gear is magnificent the top end is not that great because this bike is meant for day to day city commute my best launch in 0 to 60 kmph was 6.3 seconds which is even quicker than the ktm duke 125. As per the performance braking is also very important I got the 240mm disc variant which has enough stopping power and I advise the buyers to get the disc variant too because the drum version does not give that bite and confidence while braking. The headlight unit is a great one it features a fully led setup which gives enough throw at night while riding on highways too the illumination of the headlamps is magnificent the tail lamp features a halogen unit.
4. The first three services are free means no labour charges I got my 3rd service which I got the basic things changed like the oil filter engine oil got my chain lubed but this time I also changed my brake pads and air filter
You can expect around 2000-2500 rupees of annual maintenance cost.
5. Now the final verdict is the pros and cons starting with the pros
The pro's
*good low-end torque with a refined engine
*eye-catching looks
*low maintenance cost
*awesome mileage
The con's
*80 section rear tyre
*a little bit of overheating issue
Hope you all liked my review
Thanks for reading :)

Worst bike engine, heating issue, power issue.
Bad service in Bhavnagar. Visited 3 times for an engine problem not solved yet and took charges for oil change around 480rs.
If you are living in Bhavnagar never go to the Honda service center (very poor quality services ) what they will do is just wash your bike in free services.

Buying experience is too good
Riding experience is very after 1 year. Engine make much vibration. Front suspension make noise. For narrow rear wheel it increases mileage. Don't try very much cornering this bike.
Look is good, performance is average
Servicing cost is average.
Front suspension and mudguard make annoying noise.
Thanks................

We spent some time with the new SP 125 to find out if, despite losing the ‘Shine’ moniker, does the motorcycle still shine in the real world?
