BS6 Honda SP 125: Photo Gallery

Here’s an in-depth look at Honda’s first BS6-compliant motorcycle in India!

Honda the BS6-compliant SP 125 in the country at a starting price of Rs 72,900 (ex-showroom Delhi). Though this is essentially the spiritual successor to the CB Shine SP, it looks considerably different and also packs an all-new engine. Here are the details of the newly launched commuter motorcycle in images: 

The Honda SP 125 comes with a sharper design language compared to the CB Shine SP. The headlight cowl looks more aggressive and houses an all-LED headlamp.

The motorcycle comes with a fully digital instrument cluster. It shows details like real-time/average fuel efficiency, range, gear position, and time, apart from the regular readouts. We think the console layout could’ve been better to avoid looking cramped considering the amount of information it displays.

The disc variant comes with a 240mm unit with Nissin caliper up front. CBS is standard across both disc and drum models. Honda retains the low-rolling resistance tyres but the alloy wheels are now sportier-looking split type units.

Honda has finally offered an engine kill switch in one of its commuter motorcycles. It looks pretty well-made too.

The most intriguing aspect of the bike is the all-new 124cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. Compared to the earlier BS4 motor, the new unit is not only 16 per cent more fuel-efficient but also makes 0.57PS and 0.6Nm more (10.8PS and 10.9Nm).

Like the CB Shine SP, the SP 125 also comes with a 5-speed transmission with one-down, four-up pattern.

Honda has equipped the bike with the same underpinnings as the CB Shine SP. While the front uses telescopic forks as you’ve seen in the images before, the rear comes with twin shock absorbers with 5-step preload adjustability. The rear wheel gets a 130mm drum linked to CBS as well.

There’s a bit of the Honda X-Blade’s gene in the tail lamp’s design. And while it does look nice, it isn’t LED. Also, the chunky grab handle could’ve been designed to be a bit sleeker.
