It comes with a 124.9cc, air cooled and fuel injected engine, producing 9.7 BHP at 7000 rpm and 10.9 Nm at 5500 rpm. The best part is its 4-speed manual gearbox, making it sport effective when compared the Indian Honda Navi. It weighs just 101.7 kg with a full fuel tank of 5.5 liters. Honda MSX125 was recently spotted testing in India in Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), and it might launch here within next 2-3 months. | Kawasaki Z125 is a monkey bike that comes with an automatic gearbox for ease in driving. The 125cc machine is fuel injected and claims a maximum power of 9.4 BHP. Z125 is a premium product with 200 mm front disc and 184 mm rear disc for braking duties.
