2014 Honda SH Mode 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2014 Honda SH Mode 125 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.3 HP (8.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 90.4 HP per liter and a 3,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the SH Mode 125 measures 116 kg (256 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 765 mm (30.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,305 mm (51.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.12 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 259 km (161 miles) between fill-ups.
