On March 14, 2022, we got an extremely pleasant surprise in the form of Honda revealing the ST125 Dax in Europe as a 2023 model. Rumors had been swirling for some time about when it might appear, and all the signs seemed to point to the trio of Japanese motorcycle shows that were on the calendar for Spring 2022. Then, Honda was like “you’re all looking over here, so let’s show you something over on the other side of the world instead,” et voilà!
Of course, this reveal was done with the understanding that the ST125 Dax would make its official world debut in three-dimensional form at the 2022 Osaka Motorcycle show, which would soon follow that initial March 14 peek at all the promotional materials. Since we’re not in Japan, we sadly have not yet seen this bike in person—but there is, of course, always hope.
