Last year I had a back and forth on YT with a delivery rider. He spent his first year or so on a typical small wheel scooter. He drew up a list of features for the perfect scooter everything from big wheels to ABS and the Honda Sh he reckons is near perfect.

I've now done over 45,000 miles on my 2021 SH125i. People that review this and compare it with a large motorcycle should only compare it with a scooter of similar size engine. I've had a couple of close calls, saved by the brakes and abs. I have the honda screen which changes riding altogether, it's as though it improves the weather conditions. I ride all year all weather, the screen helps keep rain off you and the wind. The only issue with the screen is it's made from rain glue, only thing that seems to help is old style turtle Wax, every few days. I can flat foot if I sit where you sat, that's not where you sit when you ride, your bottom just touches where the passenger seat starts, you would then have to move forward when you stop. I still think this is the best bike for deliveries, flat floor is a must, as is keyless for obvious reasons and the space under the seat is reasonable. I've had only one serious issue, my belt snapped after only 8300 miles when the interval is 16000 miles. I do not accept the dealers poor excuse and sadly unless I move away from the area I live, will not buy another new Honda, so could be my third and last new Honda.

Just look what people in the unofficial „capital of scooters“ ride. If it‘s not a Honda SH125i, it‘s most likely a 150i or 350i. People often think, rome rides Vespa. Nope. It‘s Honda, specifically the SH. And for a reason. It‘s obviously the best best scooter for cities. ❤

Tank capacity is actually 7 litres. As an owner myself, it's lovely and nice power for a 125, engine is not strained even at higher speeds.

I chose a new Medley over the Honda sh125 just 'cos it had a bit more underseat storage. Big mistake. Worked ok for 2 months, then difficult starting. Engine cutting out while riding. Took it back to Dealer. (Only Piaggio dealers have the computer needed). He ordered a part from Piaggio. Waited 2 months for part to come from Italy. Wrong part. Still the same fault. Dealer tried telling me it was a different fault. Traded it in for a Honda sh125i. What a difference! Better machine. Can be worked on by any mc mechanic. Only Hondas for me from now on! Good to read you got 45,000 miles. What year is it? Did you do the servicing? Any mechanical problems? Is it kept in a garage? Would love to hear from you.

Nice review again Exmouth ! I really believe that 125cc is the perfect size for a scooter. Adequately powerful for use on fast roads, super nippy around town and not too much weight to deal with. This is a really useful little vehicle for the money. I like the normal sized wheels as well. Much better on bad roads and less twitchy handling. This one seems to have decent storage and if you have the top box for your helmet, the whole underseat area is up for grabs. Very practical. This one seems to have a good top speed for a 125 too. As a replacement for my Malaguti 50 I could be tempted. I need to get rich first though 😂 Nice one Dave ! Cheers, Brian and Nipper

This is an awsome review of this scooter. The top box makes the pillian feel rather secure. To be fair I am a bit light at a little over 10.5 stone. The bike feels more comfortable the more I carry. I have heated grips on mine, so I turn off stop start in the winter, it will stop working anyway as the battery loses power. You did a review of the voge and said you were off roading on country lanes lol. I've delivered to places like this in pitch black. The lights are amazing, only down side is, you can't see what is too your side, I actually drove into a large pot hole due to this and saved by the large wheels. How large was the hole, no idea, but I was thrown up a good foot out of the seat.

This is the most thorough review you have ever done on any machine, Thank you. About the top speed: at one point you got 73 mph on the speedo, but of course this will be quite optimistic. The GPS speed will be more like 63-65mph tops. The other downside is that the SH doesn't have much room under the seat, compared for example to the Piaggio Medley which can fit TWO full face helmets. The Medley also has a front compartment and USB port there, whereas Honda rather stupidly put the charging port underneath the seat instead of near the dash, and it now has no locker at the front which I think is a really poor oversight considering its cost.

Scooters are great. I agree. I am a scooter convert. I enjoy riding my Aerox as much as my two bikes. Can't wait to replace my KTM 390 Duke with the ADV 350. One thing I've noticed: 125cc scooters for the European market tend to have bigger wheels. In the Asian market, smaller scooters tend to be 150/155/160cc. The extra capacity makes such a difference. There is one smaller capacity scooter: Honda Scoopy 110, actualy 108cc. Great review. I liked Toby's input, too. Good little scooter let down by its looks. I am going to look up reviews for the SH150, as I don't think it is the same scooter as the Forza 350 which we have in Thailand, despite saying it was the same in my comments on another video.

Hi Nick, the scooby here is known as a Honda Vision. I'd like to try one as I hear good things about them. I have ridden 150s and it makes such a difference. Yes the looks are subjective, perhaps if they changed the styling a bit it may open up the door a bit, I think its practicability over style for an change though....it all works very well. Have a good week : )

Steve, the 350 version has the same engine as in adv-350 that you have tried. Also the engine is in the Forza 350 too. The old version SH300 is very very popular in my city on the other side of Europe, with the size of Glasgow or a bit bigger. There are 100s of this things around, mixed with Vespa gts 300 and some Yamahas x-city 250. The two main type of scooters, the flat floor ones like the SH and the maxi scooters like the adv350 with the ark on flor are in competition for popularity. But I believe that for more urban environment the flat floor, larger thinner wheels like the SH is better but for more long commuting or touring outside the cities, the maxi scooters are better. The old SH models where with tank under the seat and that take from the under seat storage. I am glad that they move it in the floor. Other manufactures have done that years earlier for their alternative models to the SH. Excellent scooter review. Kudos, Steve.. I really have my eye on the SH350 and ADV-350 and one of them is maybe my next bike.. Also the Sym Joyride 300 is very very good too and cheaper. Sorry for my long babbling, I just love this things in all their variants and sizes.

Really frustrating Honda doesnt offer the SH150i here which has the benefit of the light weight of the 125 with useful extra horsepower. That 68mph is more like 60mph GPS speed. I'd image the SH150 would add at least another 5mph which would be very useful on the open road.

Great review of this super bike. I think the SH125i is the best 125 that Honda makes. It has a great build quality and has everything you want out of a commuter. This bike really hits a sweet spot for city use and beyond. I've had two SH300i and they were also good but were not great when you get up to the higher speeds that they are capable of. I did not feel that confident when doing motorway speeds, you are too upright and the bikes stability is a bit questionable. I now ride a Forza 350 and that handles well at speed. So in my opinion the SH125i would be my pick of the 125's and the Forza 350 of the Honda range of 350's.

Good points Pompey. I have the SH350, which although visually similar, actually has quite a few differences, apart from the engine. I came to the same conclusion as you about the high speed handling of the sh350 vs. the Forza 350. I did have a tall screen fitted to the SH, which may have affected this. Honda engineers would have put the Forza in a wind tunnel to maximise aerodynamics (screen/fairing), I guess. Based on my SH experience, the 125 would be a good buy. If your licence allows it, go for the 350.

SH for me for sure but the Forza looks cooler

There is something to be said for small engine motorcycles/scooters in metro areas. Often times there's no point being sat there on a 600cc when you can't take advantage of the power. You want a narrow, responsive, nippy little thing instead. 125's seem to offer just the right amount of power with the right amount of agility to deal with stop start traffic. My ideal bike starts off as a sports tourer and gets smaller the closer to the centre of town I get! I don't like the engine cut-off/auto start as it ruins the point of the bike. I know it's only a second or so, but if you have the bike for getting through city traffic, that extra second could be useful and is often the one you need. Nice looking scooter though and only a few hundred more expensive than a more local motorcycle brand that specialises in small engined motors.

Hi, yes I think infact 125s kinda go faster in town point to point. They are a hoot to ride. I see what you mean about stop start but I did find it quite nice just hearing what was going on around me. Thanks very much for your time watching.

I have a Honda civic with the stop start feature and was told it wil lin the long run ruin the battery /starter motor, not sure how true that is but I tend to turn it off. Cars or bikes Honda is a firm favourite for me, not ridden for a while so if I ever get back in the swing of things I would have my eye on one of these. Back in the day when I was living in London, I had the biggest grin riding my honda 90 cub, nothing wrong with small honda's.

They are fantastic, you're right, turning off is the better option 👍

Could you give any reviews on the sh350i if possible as very interested in getting one

Hi I am hoping to get one this year , I will do my best for you : )

The fact that it has 2 storage compartment and a dual suspension, makes me want to just go and grab it ASAP.

Seems like a nice little scoot’. Still think the Piaggio Medley offers more. And….can’t see the point of a stop/start function on a small cc scoot when you need to get away sharpish from the lights….also, additional wear on the battery and starter motor. Thank you fr posting.

Nice scooter not for me as I live in the country and ride two up a lot of the time, the 350 might be a better bet. As to the stop/start, not a fan switch it off on the car most of the time, starter motors only have so many cycles and for the amount of petrol you save especially on a little scooter like this I’d rather just keep it running rather than continually having to restart the engine.

the SH doesnt have a ordinary starter, using S-S wont affect battery or starting system which is part of the light machine.

When get it in India ?

No wrong choice there, both are good 👍

Real men (and women) aren’t afraid to ride scooters. They’re way more useful for commuting or running errands. I’ll have another some day. Boy, that female jogger in your last scene nearly took a header. That could have made your video go viral. Hate to laugh at others misfortune. No, not really. I’ve got a cynical sense of humor.

⁠@@exeterrideryou sure are right sir, he doesn’t know what he’s missing. I’ve just bought the SH350i and it’s just blown me away with just how excellent it is. My summer ride and long distance tourer is the VFR1200 crosstourer which will always be my number 1 in terms of biking, but these scooters make a load of sense. I’ve actually bought mine for bimbling about on and I can’t help but smile like a Cheshire Cat when riding it, I mean for just over £5k what more do you really need, you could travel the world one of these with ease. 85 to 90 mph top speed and roughly 80 to 85 mpg figures, just superb 👌
