- 2021 Honda SH125i
I was very fortunate to test ride the 2021 Honda SH125i and give my honest first ride opinion.
(Thanks Honda) would highly recommend a test ride on this popular learner scooter.
I use the following equipment and software to edit my VLOGs:-
GoPro Hero 8 Black HD Cameras
Insta 360 One X2
GoPro Media Mod
Purple Panda Lavalier 3.5mm Microphone (Sellotaped in Helmet)
Standard GoPro mounts positioned on Bike & Helmet
LumaFusion editing software 4K
My Motorcycle Clothing Helmet & Boots are:-
RST Blade two piece leathers
RST Blade gloves
Sidi Vertigo Boots (Getting a bit old now)
HJC RPHA 11 Helmet (Tinted Visor with Pinlock Anti-Fog insert) - Zábava
I have one of these. Highly recommend it. I like the idle stop. It's incredibly fast and can still beat cars off at the lights. It's nice to be able to listen to the birds while waiting at the lights.
Nice one 👍
Fantastic scooter, had one for 15 months and was extremely pleased with it. Great mpg of 130, really practical and very maneuverable.
I’m glad to hear that!
@@RiderReviews Great review, spot on.
Great review. I've been driving one for two and a half years at this point. As you said, excellent fuel economy practicality, etc. Some conversation starter, with people approaching me to ask about it. Must be the pearl red colour. Was considering changing to the cb125f. But the belt drive etc, on the sh is a winner.
Totally agree John! Great bikes.
I have one of these, got it during 2021. I do food deliveries on mine, perfect platform for my part time job.
I've done just over 21000 miles on mine. On my third back tyre and just also changed the front.
Front did over 20000 miles, back around half that first one did less, 9000 miles, second back tyre almost 11000 miles, city grips.
Had to have Bridgestone as city grips not available.
I have heated grips, vespa hand muffs (off my vespa) the large screen which is great weather protection, but needs polishing with turtle Wax or it's like it's made of rain glue!
The stop start is amazing, brakes are awesome, love the keyless, I get on and off soooo many times a day. The 16 inch wheels are a God send over pot holes. Back suspension could have been a bit softer or at 11 stone, I'm not heavy enough, as ride improves if a have a heavy load, spread over the top box, under seat and floor.
I also jammed a bit of 22 mm pipe insulation under the windscreen, makes a big difference (cut in half).
Very nice review indeed.
Wow that’s great to hear! You’re certainly putting it through it’s paces brilliant….just goes to show how versatile these bikes are. Ride safe cheers Jake.
How nice to watch someone testing one of the most popular bikes in the World rather than something built for speed and then he tells us his own bike is one of the big boys, nice, and thank you Sir!
Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice scooter, looks good and comfortable to ride,👍 good video Jake 😊
Great bike 👍
this week swapping in an sh 125 mode ,and pcx 125 for a new sh 125 with top box , screen and handguards . they are excellent bikes ,just now 74 and can only ride 1 at a time I also have a vespa gts 300 ,so will still own 2 plus my wife 72 has a 50 cc vespa . you will be very pleased whichever you choose .
Very nice John!
Anyone know how to tell the difference between a shi and a sh mode my insurance says mybike is a 2014 sh mode but it doesn’t say sh mode anywhere on the bike but does say shi with a sticker on the side of the bike
This is a nice scooter it’s very very popular in my country which is Morocco oh good I’m in love with her
Wonderful scooter ,I had one candy colour,very light and fast ,bravo honda
I totally agree Si!
Love this video mate! Very well shot! Struggling to decide between this and the SHMODE. Which one would you recommend please? I have a CBT so cannot test ride:( thanks
There both great bikes Luke tbh. Have you watched my video on the SH Mode?
Cracking review, how do you feel it compares with the Mode? The Mode just seems quite a bit better value though i appreciate you lose the ABS. Thanks buddy!
Both great bikes tbh so hard to choose, i would always recommend test riding both to be sure. Cheers 👍
thanks for the review its now tipped the scales in buying one .looked at one today not sure as my 2020 forza is now to heavy for me at 185kgs.but at just 136 kg will be fine with it.its does everything a72 yr old needs .collect next month.regards tony
Thanks Tony your welcome! Sorry to hear about your issue, I hope you enjoy your new bike. Cheers Jake.
How are you getting on with the sh? Any probs? I am getting mine next week. 2022.

Hi there. Quick question please does the SH mode have abs as well? And does the SHi have abs only on the back? As you pointed before stopping.
I had a 50cc vision and because my wheels blocked twice and crashed, the second one was decisive for the bike, it is going to be disposed by Aviva.
Hi sorry to hear about your crash! That doesn’t sound good at all. As for the question about ABS I’m not to sure as it’s been a long time since my reviews on these models. Honda website should have all the tech specs and information to be sure. Thanks.
thinking of getting new honda as my sh50 is over 22 years old, and had it 21 years with no problems or breakdowns .
dont know witch to go for the sh125 i or the mode not that into tech just want it to last any ideas also do they do a key version as dont trust keyless .
also any thoughts on the honda vision 110 ?
Wow 22 years old…how may miles has it covered? My advice is to test ride them both and I must admit I’m also not really into keyless ignitions either tbh. I’ve done a review on the Vision 110 have a look. czcams.com/video/nQQ3UYsu8B4/video.html. Cheers Jake.
@@RiderReviews thanks for the info as regards old bike still keeping it as its been a very lucky bike not just with age but as not tipped me off .
and dont want to lose my lucky streak . so i just mothball it.
Please don't betray your SH50 after 22 years that has served you for 21 years with no problems or breakdowns.
@@trechen100 no still going to keep it mothball it not going to lose my luck
Nice one there Jake this looks like a really good little runabout and looked to have a fair turn of speed to it so no problems feelin your holding up any traffic will go with the flow easily .. I assume the rear brake has to be where the clutch lever normally is which for someone like me used to having the clutch lever in that position . Nice spec too good review and good watch ya needed some heated gear there really : D
Cheers mate was a great little run about bike this one quite nippy too. Yes the rear brake lever is on the left where the clutch would normally be. It was absolutely freezing tbh but nice to be out. Cheers Jake.
Love these bikes I’ve had a red one 21 plate loved the bike hatted the colour now have a black rock grey one I am in love sh for me is fantastic fun love it loads pricey but you get what you pay for well worth it, only issue is kept getting punchers on my red ☝️
Cracking little bikes Lee great choice.
@@RiderReviews your more then welcome to do a another review on my 2022 model if like buddy I am in Norwich
Thanks for the Offer Lee.
Hi Jake!Does have the option displaying the speed in kilometers?
Hi! Should do hopefully.
I recently checked on honda's website and this one cost around £3000, does the topbox alone cost £500? I'm thinking to get one with toxbox. Thanks
Not too sure what the cost is at present, best to contact your local dealership for prices etc.
@@RiderReviews thanks man! Your review is so good keep up the good work! 😃
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Can you deselect the stop/start? On an engine that size, it's almost pointless. :)
I’m pretty sure you can Ray!
Yes you can.
Had a sh350i brand new 7 months...lovely engine absolute peach but cramped leg space and god awful suspension
Traded up to a forza 750
I did notice it was slightly cramped Charlie.
Yip, honda need to sort the suspension out on many of their scooters. The newer sh300 suspension is spine shattering
I found suspension better on my mode than the sh, even though it only has one rear shock.
They had to include the top box because very few helmets are small enough to fit under the seat. Even my open face helmet is too big!
Otherwise, they are fantastic bikes.
Ahh ok makes sense!
I've done 123 miles on only half tank that's amazing.... I do deliveries on this bike..... £11.32 for full tank if I can get another 120 miles from the remaining half tank that'd be awesome.....
That’s brilliant!
I have half a litre under my seat, I often do 200 miles on a tank.
It may do a little more, to be honest it's not always the same, 201 is the most, but had it stall at 198, it did start again, but I was close to station so filled up.
Also it says it holds 7 litres, I get about 7.65 litres in mine.
Doing deliveries I want to go as long as possible in between fill ups.
@@1960ARC Yeh when I got to 194 it started struggling to start from start stop but then I also filled up just over 198 I'm sure 200 is possible but very risky if your not next to petrol station...
I had SH150 2022, suspension too hard, very uncomfortable over pathholes...sold it after 2 months and bought SH350...100 times better
