Honda SH125i 2014

The Honda SH125i has been a practical and reliable companion for years, so it's no wonder that it sells very well. The current version is better than ever, the engine is lively and the start-stop system also saves a little fuel - the green thumb is already up. The handling is very stable thanks to the large 16-inch tyres, but it doesn't get unwieldy in bends either - after all, at 134 kilos ready to ride, there's not too much mass to move. The compartment under the saddle can hold a full-face helmet, and the top case can also hold another helmet or bits and pieces, making it one of the best luggage compartments.
