It is new motorcycle season, in case you have not observed. Motorbike and scooter producers are busy getting their new lineups prepared for followers to peruse and critique, both as particular person launches, at commerce exhibits like Intermot, EICMA, and CIMAMotor, or all the above. Actually, the China Worldwide Motorbike Commerce Exhibition (aka CIMAMotor) simply efficiently wrapped its twenty third version on the finish of September 2025, and loads of issues have been trickling out since.
Take, for instance, the Sundiro Honda Sq. X125. Constructed round Honda’s present 125cc eSP+ single-cylinder engine that already powers a number of fashions in a number of markets, the place this little man excels is clearly in its ADV-heavy utilitarian styling. It additionally options dual-channel ABS, which you do not all the time see on autos on this class.
However there’s extra to it than appears to be like! Let me clarify after you look it within the face.

Now that I’ve bought your consideration, you will observe that calling it the Sq. X125 is clearly not an instance of Sundiro Honda underselling its design traits. You want corners? Honey, you have bought corners. It is the boxiest little field that ever boxed, this aspect of the Nissan Dice or the Honda Component. Heck, even the TVS iQube is not this boxy, and it truly has a stylized (and infinitely trademarkable) respelling of “dice” in its title!
Me, I like this design lots, however then I additionally like Honda’s complete ADV household, starting with the X-ADV and going proper on all the way down to the ADV150. Your mileage could, in fact, differ; design is tremendous subjective, so if you happen to do not prefer it, don’t fret. You’ll be able to like different issues! It is superb.
In case you spend time perusing Douyin (that is China’s native TikTok equal, if you happen to’re unfamiliar) and Chinese language moto media websites, you will probably have seen protection from CIMA Motor in regards to the unveiling of this little scoot, together with another new Sundiro Honda fashions. Since it is the nation’s single-largest bike occasion of the 12 months, the corporate introduced numerous accessorized variations of the Sq. X125 to the present as nicely.
What sort of equipment are we speaking about? Every little thing from high packing containers to tenting gear , showcasing all of the locations that it hopes to encourage you to go along with this little scoot as soon as it is launched to the general public. However there’s one actually cool design characteristic that does not require extra equipment, and that seems to simply be baked into the final design of this lil man.
On the picture on the left, you will discover that there seems to be a break up saddle. In accordance with some movies circulating on Douyin, that pillion seat can apparently be flipped ahead vertically, so it may perform as a backrest for the rider. Extra importantly, it reveals a rear rack beneath the place you’ll be able to apparently mount equipment, akin to the highest field proven within the picture on the correct. Clearly, the seat pad was simply taken off within the picture on the correct, however it’s a cool concept if it really works as proven.
There’s additionally a quick-release folding tray desk proven on the correct rear of the scoot, which may turn out to be useful for tenting, fishing, and even simply heading off to your favourite sporting occasion. The entrance lighting design, windscreen, and mirrors appears to be like fashionable in a method that looks as if it’s going to age nicely, moderately than wanting drained and dated in solely a few years.
Pricing ought to reportedly be round 12,680 yuan, which works out to round US $1,781 on the time of writing. For the sake of comparability, that is solely 100 yuan greater than the Sundiro Honda NS 125LA X Kumamon Version, which is (you guessed it) a little bit retro-styled 125cc scoot that options the cuddly mascot Kumamon prominently in its design. As you’ll have observed, I do love me some cute mascots with my motorbikes, however the Sq. X125 appeals sufficient to me that I might be blissful to easily slap some stickers on it and name it good if I want additional cuteness.
What do you assume, would you throw a leg over if the Sq. X125 ever made it to your neck of the woods? Past its launch in China, we won’t say whether or not it’s going to see the sunshine of day elsewhere. However no matter that truth, it is a cool design that should not be ignored, for my part.
