Good Points

Comfortable to ride, bounces out of potholes, you can keep riding (And not sliding and / or falling off) when you hit a deep one. Grip is very good in both dry and wet weather conditions. Headlight, Taillight and indicators are bigger and better. Dual braking system works a treat, although I would have liked a disk brake on the rear.


Bad Points

I would have liked a disk brake on the rear. The additional "side lights" on the front are very ineffective, as they come on with the main headlight, and do not much add to the ambiance at night. Service Intervals are very short (Every 2500 miles) and quite costly [ £85 UK Pounds].


General Comments

The Honda SH125i (the "i" stands for fuel injection / consumption). This is a great bike for commuting, as the saddle is very comfortable, and the bigger wheels and tyres do give a fantastic grip when navigating through the UK`s various weather conditions and the many potholes found on the roads today. The Honda 125i is not a speed machine, you are not going to break any landspeed records here. This comes at a cost, as your petrol tank does empty quite rapidly. If you are in several lanes of traffic, you can by pass many vehicles as the 125i`s profile is pretty slim. As your lights are on all the time, you are very visible, but some Car drivers / Other Motorcyclists tend to believe that your Halogen lights are on full beam, and may flash you now and then. I would suggest you ignore them, as when you are riding at night, in unlit areas, on put full beam on, you will be really impressed.
