New SH125 and SH Mode
Both models receive a new look for 2024, starting with the new “Vetro” version of the SH125i, which will certainly be the center of attention in European cities. The Vetro is the original creation (and a tribute to technical capability) of the personnel at the Honda factory in Atessa, Italy. It features unique semi-transparent green fairing panels without paint (which produce 9.5% less emissions per year compared to standard coloring methods). Its innovative new aesthetic also incorporates a black front fender, black lower fairing with a striking white Honda logo, and a silver SH logo on the upper fairing.
In addition to the Matte Coal Black Metallic, the SH125i also benefits from a second “Sporty Edition” (SE) in Cool Matte Pearl White (both SE versions feature additional black details around the handlebars and on the front and lower fairings, elegant red stitching on the seat and logos, emblems, and exclusive graphics). Five new color combinations also arrive in the base version: Falcon Grey Pearl, Cool White Matte Pearl, Pacific Blue Matte Pearl, and the classic Nightstar Black, all incorporating new black wheels and details.
The SH Mode 125 arrives in 2024 with two new colors: Luster Candy Red and Matte Galaxy Black Metallic, which join the two existing colors: Pearl Jasmine White and Matte Techno Silver Metallic. With over 45,000 units sold in Europe since its introduction in 2014, the SH Mode 125 has expanded the appeal of the SH family to a younger audience and, thanks to its skillful combination of modern style, confidence-inspiring features, and low operating costs, represents the perfect entry point for those who want an SH.
