We’ve been hearing hopeful rumors about a possible Honda ST125 Dax revival for well over a year now. Back in February, 2022, Japanese publication Young Machine published some speculative renders about what its designers thought a new Dax—which they believed was just around the corner—could look like. You know what? They were, for the most part, pretty spot-on with their guesses about aesthetics. (Not 100 percent, of course—but you know, they wouldn’t want to make us suspicious that they’re a front for Honda PR or something.)
Anyway, it’s now March 14, 2022—and Honda officially dropped the cover on the 2023 ST125 Dax for the European market. Some of the details differ from YM’s earlier speculative renders, but the broad strokes are, by and large, correct.
