Man, the Honda SP 125 2025 is like that reliable daily rider who’s had a quick tech boost—smooth, efficient, and now connected enough to make your commute feel a bit more modern without the hassle. Launched in December 2024 as Honda’s refreshed premium commuter, it’s aimed at first-timers, office goers, and budget hustlers tackling India’s traffic with ease. Priced from Rs. 91,771 for the drum variant to Rs. 1,00,284 for the disc (ex-showroom Delhi, up Rs. 4,000-9,000 from pre-OBD2B norms), it’s a solid pick against the Bajaj Pulsar 125 or Hero Glamour. With a 123.94cc OBD2B-compliant engine pumping 10.7 bhp and claiming 65 kmpl, plus a 4.2-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth, it’s a no-brainer for folks wanting refinement on a shoestring—perfect if you’re upgrading from a Shine or jumping from a Splendor, though the basic styling might not turn heads on Insta.
Sharp, Street-Ready Design
This commuter’s a lean champ—2,020 mm long, 735 mm wide, 1,060 mm tall, with a 1,285 mm wheelbase that’s nimble for dodging autos or tight U-turns. At 113 kg kerb and 160 mm ground clearance, it skips speed bumps without scraping. The 2025 amps the front with a sharper profile and LED tail light, rocking a sleek tank and chrome muffler in five new shades like Pearl Igneous Black or Matt Marvel Blue Metallic—two variants: Drum and Disc. 17-inch alloys with 80/100 front and 100/90 rear tubeless tires grip steady, 790 mm seat height suits shorter riders—upright stance, wide footboard for bags, slim for mohallas.
Techy, Rider-Friendly Cockpit
Hop on the long seat for two, and upright bars with mid pegs keep you comfy—no numb hands after hours. The 4.2-inch TFT dash pops speed, fuel, gear, mileage, and Bluetooth alerts via Honda RoadSync for calls or turn-by-turn nav. USB Type-C juices your phone, 11L tank tucks neat—optional backrest adds two-up fun. Low vibes let you chat over the hum, no flashy extras—just a focused commuter feel for office dashes or market runs.
Refined Engine Zip
The 123.94cc air-cooled single-cylinder BS6 OBD2B mill churns 10.7 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 10.9 Nm at 6,000 rpm—5-speed gearbox shifts crisp, zipping 0-100 kmph in 13 seconds, topping 100 kmph. ARAI 65 kmpl (real-world 55-60) stretches the tank 600-660 km at Rs. 1.5-2/km—torquey low-end for signals, smooth purr on throttle. Telescopic forks up front and twin shocks rear soak bumps decently, no jolts on potholes—refined for highways, hums a tad at revs.
Safety Basics Solid
Single-channel ABS on front disc (240 mm) with rear drum (130 mm) bites hard in rain—no dual-channel, but the tubular frame grips tight. LED tail light and kill switch add night smarts—side-stand cut-off saves slips. Tough for urban dings, chasing 4-star Global NCAP—solid for newbies, shrugging off scrapes.
Price and Quick Snag
Drum at Rs. 91,771, Disc at Rs. 1,00,284—on-road Delhi Rs. 1.02-1.12 lakh with taxes. December 2024 launch means stock at Honda dealers or BikeWale, with September perks: Rs. 4k-7k cashback, EMI from Rs. 1,567/month on SBI cards, free helmets. Waits 7-15 days, 3-year/42k km warranty, Rs. 2k-3k yearly—resale 75% after two years.
Rider Raves and Gripes
Owners love the mileage and smoothness—”city ninja for peanuts,” one Delhi rider says—but plain looks and no rear disc bug highways. Service Honda everywhere, vibes creep at speed. Vs. Pulsar’s zip or Glamour’s style, SP 125 wins on tech—top if connected basics are your jam.
Quick Specs
December 2024 launch, Rs. 91k-1.00 lakh, 123.94cc BS6 OBD2B, 10.7 bhp, 65 kmpl ARAI, two variants. Swing by for Matt Marvel Blue or deals—your commuter’s ready to roll.
