Japanese bike maker Honda is known for their high performance and sports bikes and they have an upper hand in the making of visually beautiful bikes. And in small capacity performance bikes they are the best undoubtedly, they already have adorable 50cc Ruckus in their portfolio and now they brought the another one, it is the Mini Street X-Treme 125 (MSX 125 in short), which has been revealed for the European and Japanese markets. In Europe, the numbers for learner’s segment have been increased in past few years and Honda has developed this bike to cater the said segment. While, in Japan the small capacity performance bikes are in demand now-a-days.

Honda MSX 125 is powered by a 125cc air-cooled single cylinder engine, which develops a modest 10bhp at 7000rpm and 10.9Nm of torque at 5500rpm, and transfers power to rear wheel via a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine comes with Honda’s patented PGM-FI fuel injection, which provides it a better performance. An offset cylinder setup, rolling rocker arms for valve actuation make for low friction, reduced maintenance and drinking habits.

The MSX125 looks small and it measures just 765mm high and weighing only 101.7 kg, makes it easy to manoeuvre bike. Also this ensures that the bike can be ridden by almost everyone. The spec sheet of the bike suggest that this bike is particularly well suited for fun riding in congested areas in a city. The small dimension, the light weight, small displacement engine and the low power output also makes it a learner's bike.

Honda MSX125 also features a unique steel single beam backbone frame and a split structure tank cover, which gives the bike extra rigidity and riding control precision. The 2013 Honda MSX125 will be available in Asteroid Black Metallic, Pearl Himalayas White, Pearl Queen Bee Yellow and Pearl Valentine Red colours, starting from Spring, in Italy. Pricing information has not been disclosed yet.
