The Honda SP125 is the second BS6 product to be unveiled by the brand for the Indian market.

The motorcycle has been rolled out with Honda’s globally acclaimed Enhanced Smart Power or ESP technology along with an eco-friendly BS6 engine in a dynamic personality. All these features make the bike an equally smart and stylish ride.
The SP125 has a unique silent ACG starter motor that removes the gear meshing noise that enables the engine to start without a jolt. You can stay updated as the bike is equipped with a fully-digital instrument console that displays real-time fuel-efficiency, average fuel efficiency, distance-to-empty, a service-due indicator, a gear-position indicator, and it also has an eco indicator.
