Motorcycle specifications HondaDax 125 ST 2025 Under the sun

Naked

Honda joins the club of manufacturers who have accomplished a feat: time travel without convectors or DeLoreans. The result is the arrival in our dimension of the famous Dax! Teleported, modernized, revitalized and preserved at the same time, the one who also goes by ST shows the world what it lacks most: a smile and a thumbs-up.

not that of FB...... You've got to stop these co....ries. Honda's Dax (essential precision) had not set wheels in Europe for some forty years. In the meantime, a host of manufacturers had taken over the concept thanks to plans that had fallen into the public domain. Paradoxically, this kept alive the flame that the Imp had lit in 1969.

It was available in 50 and 70 cm3. Never in 125... until now. The single-cylinder engine is laid out in the same way, head down facing the road. Given that it has been nicked from the MSX and Grom, we know its ambitions and its innards. Air-cooled, one connecting rod, one piston, one ACT, 2 valves, Euro5, 9.4 hp and 10.8 Nm. Everything you need to have fun at the campsite, on beach roads and in cool corners. To control the 4-speed gearbox, an automatic centrifugal clutch takes care of the transition. All the rider has to do is use his foot, whether stationary or on the move. As a result, the left-hand lever disappears. Ah, a special feature: bottom dead center. Think about it. Not between 1 and 2.

A big part of the Dax's identity is its frame. With its intrinsic T-shape, the layout seems to have been drawn like a TV series song that's both intergenerational and impossible to forget. There is only ONE profile of Dax, anchored in time like the pyramids. The pressed metal skeleton houses the fuel tank, which at 3.8 liters isn't very big. Never mind, the ST isn't a tourer and it doesn't consume a dime.

Honda ST 125 Dax the 125 Dax is the kind of mini-bike you'd like to fit in your trunk. So....... you can, but it's not going to happen by itself. You have to lift 107 kilos. That's heavy for a pair of arms, but very light for a bike.
The chassis has everything you need for an endearingly atypical beast: strangely wide tires for its size, but only 12 inches. This accentuates the toy-like look. A super-short 1020 mm wheelbase, inverted forks 31 mm in diameter, two soft-tuned shock absorbers, handlebars up to the elbows... It's just waiting for a good laugh.

Its silhouette catapults us back in time, just like a Polaroid. Except that the underside is very contemporary. On board the Dax 125, LEDs are everywhere, right down to the round headlight inlaid with a daytime visual signature. ABS takes care of the brake discs (one per wheel), and the speedometer is fully digital. It features the same chromatic choices found on the CB 500 and 650, with the appropriate sobriety for this type of machine. Honda provides space for speedometer, fuel gauge, trip odometer and basic indicator lights.

In addition to its perpetual chassis, the Dax has had the good sense to reinstate elements that are inseparable from its nature. Virtually every generation has had one. It's a joy to find its small wheels and thick seat like a beanbag.
On the other hand, the huge chrome cover to protect the air filter is new. The seat is just 775 mm high.

Honda ST 125 Dax honda cultivates the pheromones of the past with an old logo on the sides of the frame, the calligraphy used, and a good old-school chrome bar to hold the passenger (as before). Even with an SDS, we're told the machine can reach 90 mph.
Why has the Dax adopted a dachshund as its emblem? Enthusiasts will have recognized a dachshund, only too happy to have wheels instead of paws. In the language of Goethe, this brand of dog is called "dachshund" - whose abbreviation is none other than dax. So there you have it, both the symbol and the origin of the name.

It's quite something. Honda is the only company to design both serious machines like the NT 1100, as well as top-of-the-range machines like the Monkey and Dax. Given the number of copies in circulation, it's as if he'd never left. Its return becomes almost natural. Except that before, you stored it between the tent and the caravan; now, it travels in the motorhome.

French pierreadventure Model 2024
a small correction on the origin of the name DAX. DAX, when referring to a dachshund, comes from the English dachshund, and not from the German Dackel, which seems logical, given that it was marketed worldwide in mainly English-speaking countries. Rating : 5/5
Hi, the maximum weight including the 2 people and luggage is 185 kilos. I found and read it on a site but which one ... I don't know! Hi Phs Rating : 5/5
French Phil24 Model 2023
I bought a Dax 70 in parts for 100 francs in the '75s, took it up to the 5th floor without an elevator and rebuilt it on newspapers in the entrance to my flat. I rode it for two years without any problems, then switched to a 125, which I remember with fondness as a small, reliable and practical bike for city riding that never failed me. Today, I've fallen for a CB 750 K2 for the dream (unfulfilled) of 50 years ago, and also for a Varadero 125...The passion for motorcycles never dies! Just a remark to the editor: it's not Götte we're writing about, but Goethe.That said, the article is excellent. Hi all. Rating : 5/5
French Philou Model 2022
As soon as I discovered it on the Net, I was hooked. So I placed an order last March... And after 9 months of waiting, it's finally here! I just took delivery of my DAX 2023 yesterday morning. Since then, I've been like a kid who's just received the Christmas present he's been dreaming of. Even though I'm 50 years old... What a thrill! Rating : 5/5
French JeffSennac Model 2023
I bought a Monkey last year, and I'm having as much fun on it as if I were sixteen .... I knew that Honda was going to re-release the Dax this year, but I'm sticking with my choice, because mine, apart from the same evolutionary features (125 engine, ABS, look close to the origins) my tank has more capacity (5.6l) the weight (104vs107) but above all a 5-speed gearbox with a real clutch, (lever on the handlebars) and not the forced clutch.the only major difference (because the two vehicles share almost 90 percent of their DNA) is that the Dax can be ridden as a duo, whereas the Monkey can only be ridden solo
Welcome to this new playmate.

French Dominique Model 2022
Dax 125 with a tank capacity of only 3.8 liters, whereas the minimum delivery at gas stations is almost always prescribed at 5 liters. So it's the same problem as with the Dax 70 I had a long time ago, and which made me struggle several times at gas stations, with even threats of refusal of delivery at country stations, where I had to beg for my few liters to get them. It was a real pain, and for me, a major flaw in a machine that's ill-suited to the gas station distribution network. Rating : 5/5
French Road66 Model 2022
There's a gap in the report: the real Dax was re-imported to Europe in the late 1990s or early 2000s, because I'd bought one as a souvenir of my first Dax when I was 16 in 1976. But it was short-lived. Here it is. Rating : 5/5
French chaponofff Model 2022
My father had a Dax ST 70 from 1969 to 1972. It made the Ajaccio-Coti Chiavari trip with my uncle also in the back. I've always dreamed of having one. But I think it's put on weight, having gone from 65 kg to 107 kg for the 2022 model

It's heavier and harder to fit in a car boot

I'd like to know the maximum passenger weight it can carry. Nothing is indicated on the Honda France website

Very happy that HONDA is bringing back the DAX, but let's keep the different engines for the whole family... See you soon. And maybe evolve with hydrogen engines..
