Honda MSX125

Cool! If I Buy one will I be Able to Ride like that? I see they have a Dash Board that Looks the Same as the CRF250L yet they manage to include a Rev Counter on it? Could have done the Same on the CRF!!!
I wish Honda would be smart enough to counter the KLX 150 / Tracker 150 with a full-size enduro / supermoto version using the amazing CBR150R engine!
But this is just another Mickey-Mouse 125.
Low on hp but high in price?
Even for 75,000 THB it should sell like hotcakes.

I was Told it will sell for 50.000 Baht! Amazing if True that will definitely Steal some KSR Buyers!!!
Dunno mate,
Most KSR riders are young Thais and its rare to find a KSR that hasn't had passenger pegs added.
I reckon the new Honda MSX125 is aimed at exactly the same demographic as the KSR. Many buyers will appreciate that the passenger pegs are already there.
Personally, while I think these mini-bikes are cute and fun I would hate riding something so little on Thai roads. The little wheels aren't suited to rough roads and potholes and you're so short and low to the ground that you can't see over the cars around you and many cars are unlikely to see you. A dangerous mix IMO...

Maybe have a look at this post of a young guy and see what is possible on a KSR 110 - he rode from Singapore to the north of Thailand and Laos and back to Singapore -

I was just at the local Honda dealer with my wife (who is thinking of upgrading from her KSR) and had a look at the little fun bike. Price was 70k.
It looks good and strong. With elec. start, 125cc, foot-pegs, rear-hugger and clutch. And the latter is why my wife did not like it (ooops saved some money again).
Still a nice looking bike and it would be an nice city-bike for small people like me.

Best looking of the new 2013 Hondas, for sure. This is just perfect, beautiful design.
Of course it's a KSR clone but then again they've done monkey bikes / gorilla bikes for decades; they just took a little break.
The biggest advantage over the KSR is that it has a clutch; the KSR is a semi-automatic which I always found a bit strange. And the looks. So cute.
Want!

Yes, it look good in the flesh, too, I saw it at a dealership for 67,000 THB. It sat at the other end of the place and at first I thought: "Wow! Honda's answer to the Duke! I'm very interested!"
But when I stood close I realized it's as small as the KSR. Too bad, it's just a Snoopy bike. Take 17" wheels, the CBR250 engine, redesign it a bit and you've got a winner!
That it's clutch-only may be a deal breaker, like Changnoi wrote. They should offer a semi-auto version, too, bet it would double the sales. Is it supposed to replace the clutch-only Nova Sonic 125?
The advantage over the KSR is the 125cc engine; at this size every horse counts.

Saw it in person too today. It felt, to me, that it's just a tiny bit taller than a stock KSR. It looks fantastic.CBR250;287268 wrote: There was a red and black one at the dealer yesterday, the red one looks fantastic. They sure did a fantastic job on the design. Kawa must be getting sick of Honda coming in and undercutting them on similar models.
Help me find some reasons as to why exactly I need this bike right now please
I tried it and I was not impressed, not that I was really expecting but I found the D-Tracker 125 way more fun and way more torquy.
Thus said it can be a perfect first timer bike to play with a real clutch, the gearbox was really smooth and it is a nice bike overall, just way underpowered, I did not try a KSR to make a real comparaison but I assume it is quite the same except for the clutch.
