ST125 Dax

Post by 125erCrazy » Fri Dec 02, 2022 3:51 pm

John Banks has the new model in stock (display only at present not for retail) though I know of one person who has taken delivery.

Quick sit on only its bigger than previous Dax 70 (adjacent for comparison)

I liked it but not sure about the exhaust guard mount to stop burnt leg seemed OK pushed back on the seat but carry a pillion and I'm not sure its long enough.

Over critical for a minutes sitting & sure Honda know what theyre doing but look forward to owners feedback.

Me personally would take the Grom but what do I know

My personal take would be that I'd prefer the semi auto 4 speed motor of the Dax.

Diff'rent strokes fer diff'rent folks.

Hi guys, I have taken delivery, it’s a giggle. I’m 6ft3 and fit ok, very much a squeeze with the wife on the back, she’s 5 ft 3.5..
Semi auto box good, takes a bit of getting used to as its toe down, the down, down to change up. Im used to 1 down 5 up, but soon get the rhythm

4, I believe, as it's the C125 motor, not the Grom.
