Whether you’re navigating city traffic in Delhi or cruising highways near Mumbai, the SP 125 delivers smooth performance and Honda’s legendary reliability.
Design and Build
The 2025 Honda SP 125 turns heads with a refreshed look that’s sportier than ever. Honda tweaked the front end for a sharper profile, featuring slim LED headlights flanked by vertical DRL strips that give it a premium, modern vibe. The aggressive tank shrouds and chrome muffler cover add muscle without overwhelming the clean lines. At the rear, a new M-shaped LED taillight enhances visibility and style, especially during night rides.
Available in five vibrant shades Pearl Igneous Black, Imperial Red Metallic, Matt Axis Grey Metallic, Matt Marvel Blue Metallic, and Pearl Siren Blue the bike caters to young riders who want personality on a budget. The graphics on the side panels and fuel tank have been updated for a dynamic flow, making it feel like a step up from entry-level commuters.
Build-wise, it’s robust for everyday Indian conditions. The diamond frame keeps the kerb weight at a light 116 kg, ensuring easy handling in tight urban spots. Ground clearance of 160 mm tackles speed bumps and potholes, while the 790 mm seat height suits riders from 5’4″ to 6′ tall.
The 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in tubeless tyres (80/100-18 front, 100/80-18 rear) provide stability up to 100 kmph. Dual-spring rear suspension and telescopic front forks absorb bumps smoothly, offering a comfortable pillion seat for two-up rides. In short, the SP 125’s design blends commuter practicality with enough flair to make you smile every time you swing a leg over.
Powerful Yet Efficient Engine Smooth Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Honda SP 125 packs a 123.94cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine that’s OBD2B-compliant for cleaner emissions. It churns out 10.72 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.9 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm figures that feel peppy for a commuter. Mated to a slick 5-speed gearbox, acceleration is responsive, hitting 0-60 kmph in about 9 seconds.
What impresses most is the refinement. Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) tech and idle start-stop system minimize vibrations and noise, even at idle. In city traffic, the low-end torque pulls cleanly from 20 kmph, while highways see effortless cruising at 80 kmph. Top speed hovers around 100 kmph, plenty for most riders. The PGM-FI system optimizes fuel delivery, contributing to its eco-friendly edge—perfect for 2025’s green focus.
Safety gets a boost with a side-stand engine cut-off and Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS). The Drum variant uses 130 mm drums front and rear, while the Disc steps up to a 240 mm front petal disc for better bite in wet conditions. No ABS here, but CBS distributes braking force effectively for novice riders. Overall, the engine’s balance of power and smoothness makes the SP 125 a joy for daily duties.
