The Honda MSX125 gains new LED headlamp, new chassis and a digital instrumentation. The mini bike also gets a price reduction in the Vietnamese market.

The two-step LED headlamp, LCD instrumentation and the 5.7-litre fuel tank which is 0.2-litre larger than the outgoing version are the main changes. The exhaust canister has been placed lower while the new chassis allows the fuel injection and electric system be integrated into the petrol tank frame structure without reducing the tank capacity.
