Updated in four new colours is the 2018 Honda MSX
125 SF minibike, also known in some markets as the Grom. Retailing at RM 10,499
without GST, down from the previous price of RM 11,128, the MSX 125 SF is now
clad in Incredible Green, Halloween Orange, Splendid Blue and Gayety Red.
Power comes from an air-cooled, single-cylinder fed
by Honda’s PGM-FI and delivers 9.6hp at 7,000 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 5,250
rpm. A four-speed gearbox gets power to the ground via chain drive and fuel is
carried in a 5.7-litre tank.
Rolling on 12-inch wheels, the MSX 125 SF uses a 31
mm diameter upside-down fork in front and a pre-load adjustable monoshock at
the back. Braking is done with a single hydraulic disc, front and rear. Weighing in at 102 kg, the MSX
125 SF comes with LED lighting all-round. Inside the cockpit is an LCD
dashboard that shows the rider all the necessary information, including twin
tripmeters, fuel gauge and clock.
Seat height is a very rider friendly 760 mm, making
the MSX 125 SF suitable for younger riders and short trips in and around urban
areas.
