Honda SP 125 Price in Kharagpur

Before owning this I only cycled for 10 years. Then bought this and learnt to ride on my own. I learnt to ride on this so it will always be a special one for me. My black beauty. First learnt on this, first went on a long ride on this, first took a girl on a date on this. Lots of memories. Bought it in Oct 2020. After riding it for almost 4 years finally upgraded to cb350. Now looking to sell my sp :(. It will break my heart to sell it, but no place for 2 bikes in our garage.
Anyway, let's come to the pros and cons.
First the good :
The engine is the best in its segment. Splender, Xtreme, and Raider for long rides apart from this, but the Honda sp125 sitting posture and engine is best among all of them. The gear shift is also good for most parts, I went to over 20 long rides over 1200km each. The bike took a novice like me safely to my destination and brought me back home without any problem. Thank you my black beauty. Also, I got the company's claimed mileage.
Now the bad:
1. The rear tyre is narrow and lacks grip, and I fell 2 times for the tyre skid. Good thing I was on low speed so nothing major happened.
2. Bike shakes on the highway at 70+ speed.
3. Overtaking is a problem.
4. Hard suspension and seat.
5. Gear changing sometimes stocks.
6. The headlight is low power (I understand it's Honda company policy so it doesn't blind opposite direction traffic blind, but then every company should follow this standard. Even my new CB350 headlight has the same problem). So use aux lights.
Conclusion: it's a good bike for the price. Every motorbike has pros and cons, you, as a raider need to understand the machine you riding, its advantages and shortcomings, and respect that, keep that in mind, and just ride on. For this one use an aux fog light.
End thought: she wasn't a perfect motorbike, but, she was my first. And I'll always remember and love my black beauty.

About the Reviewer

Honda, with 1.29 million bikes and 41% growth, has increased its market share to 20% from 16% a year ago and is the only one among the top seven manufacturers to do so. Honda is the No.2 bike in India, Honda has been a trusted brand from the beginning when it launched. The Honda SP125 is a nice bike that gives me the best riding comfort, and mileage, After 1200km this bike gives me around 62kmpl & I hope it grows because in my office one of my staff's SP125 gives around 90 kmpl after one year. My son likes it very much and the bike is his first choice.

It is a very charming bike, it fulfils my needs and it also has enough kick so that it doesn't feel slow, it's light and refined as expected of Honda, the sound is almost non-existent and overall a practical purchase which is good for both youngsters and senior citizens, the look is stellar and it's unexpectedly light despite its heavy look, I love how it is so satisfying to ride always, and the mileage is awesome and best in the segment without compromising on performance.
