Honda Vietnam has introduced the 2017 Honda MSX125
at the Vietnam Motorcycle Show. The heavily revised mini bike gets a new LED
headlamp, foldable key and a new angular design philosophy.
The two-step LED headlamp, LCD instrumentation and
the 5.7-litre fuel tank which is 0.2-litre larger than the outgoing version are
the main changes. The exhaust canister has been placed lower while the new
chassis allows the fuel injection and electric system be integrated into the petrol
tank frame structure without reducing the tank capacity.
The 2017 Honda MSX125 is suspended over upside down
forks up front and a monoshock in the rear. Brakes include discs at both ends
with 120/70 -12 and 130/70 -12 specification tyres in the front and rear
respectively. The mini bike tips the scales at 104 kg.
The bike retains the 125 cc single cylinder,
two-valve, air-cooled mill, which is coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. It churns
out 9.8 PS of maximum power at 7,000 rpm and 10.6 Nm of peak torque at 5,500
rpm. Colour options include Red-Black, Grey-Black and Gold-Black combinations.
The 2017 Honda MSX125 has been priced at VND
49,990,000 which is a reduction of VND 10 million.
