That is, the special edition, with sustainable materials, to reduce CO9,5 emissions by 2% compared to traditional fairings.

“The SH125i Vetro series is an example of how small changes in the use of materials can bring concrete benefits for the environment – ​​the words of Marcellus Vinciguerra CEO Honda Italia Industriale – In our Atessa plant, we are committed to improving the efficiency of our production methods, including the reduction of emissions produced”.

The quality characteristics

The SH125 scooter is one of the most popular of the Japanese brand, so much so that it is the best-selling model in Italy in 2023.
