New Honda MSX125 Pit Bike

Honda's New Release: The Honda MSX125

The company Honda has unveiled a new motorcycle, building upon the foundation of the Honda Wave 125—a beloved model among Far East residents. Named the Honda MSX125, this pit bike features a fuel-injected engine with a 125cc capacity paired with a four-speed transmission. Enthusiasts of two-wheeled vehicles will recognize this engine from the budget-friendly Wave 125 model.

The Honda MSX125 is propelled by a reliable single-cylinder, two-valve engine with an air cooling system, fuel injection, and an electric starter. Delivering 10 horsepower (7.2 kW) at 5500 revolutions per minute, the MSX engine is essentially a refined version of one of Honda's most robust and tested engines, with nearly a million units worldwide. Known for its durability and efficiency, this engine benefits from low-friction technology, enhancing longevity and notably reducing fuel consumption.

A backbone frame forms the primary structure of the moped. The Honda MSX125 accommodates two riders, evident from its spacious seat and passenger footrests.

Production of this new Japanese model will occur at a Thai factory, with global sales anticipated, excluding the United States. The focus will be on countries where affordable two-wheeled vehicles are particularly favored.

The Honda MSX125 serves as a "successor" to the Honda Monkey, millions of which found homes worldwide. The new model suggests a lineage with the "Monkey," having increased in size while maintaining a compact, lightweight, and agile moped design.
