Under the hood, the SP 125 packs a 123.94cc air‑cooled single that spits out 10.72 hp at 7,500 rpm and 10.9 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Honda says the unit can cruise for more than 60 km/l, which translates to roughly 660 km on a full 11‑litre tank if you stick to city traffic.
If you’re hunting for a no‑fuss commuter, the SP 125 sits squarely beside the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and the Hero HF Deluxe. Those rivals top the chart with 13 hp and a 12 km/l claim, but they’re heavier and pricier. Honda’s lighter 116‑kg bike offers a tighter turn radius, making it easier to weave through Delhi’s jam‑packed lanes.
Two trims keep the choice simple. The base STD starts at ₹90,498 and comes with a drum brake, digital meter and a kerb weight of 116 kg. The DLX, at ₹98,096, ups the ante with a disc brake, a 4.2‑inch TFT display and Honda RoadSync connectivity. The extra ₹7,600 feels like a tech premium for riders who want a touch‑screen and better stopping power.
Beyond the specs, Honda backs the SP 125 with a three‑year, 42,000‑km warranty, upgradeable to 10 years for an extra fee. There’s a 15‑W USB‑C port for your phone, an LED headlamp with integrated beam, and a side‑stand engine cut‑off that makes idling stops a breeze. All models comply with the new BS6 norms and boast an OBD‑2B diagnostic port, a first for a 125‑cc bike in India.
The launch rolls out this March, with dealers in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai opening the doors first. Keep an eye on pricing variations across cities, as the ex‑showroom Delhi figure may shift slightly in other metros. Next up for buyers will be the after‑sales network and the availability of the DLX’s RoadSync feature, which will determine how much value you actually extract from the ₹7,600 premium.
