Japanese bike manufacturer, Honda has just unveiled a very interesting motorcycle in the form of the 2013 Honda MSX125 motorcycle. The 2013 MSX125 is a world bike and Honda reveals it plans to launch this interesting new motorcycle in many parts of the world. MSX stands for ‘Mini Street Xtreme’ and the company says that the MSX125 is a fun motorcycle for beginners.
The motorcycle is powered by a 125125cc air-cooled single cylinder engine, which develops a modest 10bhp at 7000rpm and 10.9Nm of torque at 5500rpm, and transfers power to rear wheel via a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine comes with Honda’s patented PGM-FI fuel injection, which provides it a better performance.
