Honda SH125i 2023

The Honda SH125i for the 2020 model year has truly earned the designation "new". While it remains true to its long-standing line, it scores under its newly designed dress with numerous changes that make the already popular city runabout even more attractive. More storage space, low fuel consumption and enough power for everyday life speak for the SH125i, only the lack of the practical glove compartment and the slightly reflective glass of the LC display catch our eye negatively. But that's not enough to depress the positive impression, because the Honda SH remains the pragmatist par excellence that always runs and, above all, functions as you expect it to.

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
