Honda Grazia 125 BS6 Vs Rivals: Specifications Comparison

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the updated model of the Honda Grazia 125, which now meets the latest Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations. Along with refreshed styling, and a cleaner fuel-injected engine, the new Honda Grazia 125 also gets a long list of new features to justify the price increase, as well as the 'new' tag it carries. The 125 cc scooter segment though has some extremely capable rivals to give the new Honda Grazia some stiff competition. While we will wait to get our hands on the new Honda Grazia to see how much has changed, here's a look at a quick spec comparison to see how it stands up against its rivals in the 125 cc scooter segment.

The 2020 Honda Grazia 125 gets fuel-injection along with some significant engine updates

Engine and Performance

The Honda Grazia 125 gets an updated fuel-efficient engine with a lot of changes, to make it smoother and more efficient. The engine gets programmed fuel injection, along with the silent-start motor, and the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber based on specific engine data and constant feedback from six intelligent sensors, including oil temperature sensor, engine speed sensor, oxygen sensor, air pressure sensor, air temperature sensor and throttle position sensor. The 124 cc engine now puts out 8.14 bhp of power at 6,000 rpm and 10.3 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. Both power and torque have been marginally sacrificed from the BS4 variant, but the changes to the updated engine with internal component with friction reduction and optimised weight, is likely to make the new Grazia feel more refined, as well as linear acceleration.

Features

On the features list, the Honda Grazia 125 and the TVS NTorq 125 feel much better specced than the Suzuki Access 125 and the Hero Maestro Edge 125. But the list of features also boil down to how usable these features are on a day-to-day basis, and if those features give any significant edge over the others. The most feature-rich scooter here is the TVS NTorq 125, with state-of-the-art gizmos like Bluetooth connectivity, offering missed call and incoming SMS alerts, as well as turn by turn navigation on the instrument console, when paired with a smartphone.

The Honda Grazia misses out on those toys, but is only marginally behind on the feature list, providing a comprehensive multiple information, full-digital display screen. In comparison, both the Suzuki Access 125 and Hero Maestro Edge 125 look somewhat lagging behind in terms of the instrument consoles and other features. The Access 125 has an external fuel filler lid now, but the lack of remote opening makes it redundant, since the rider will have to get down to open it with a key anyway.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
