Great review , loved the 2 ST70s I owned in the 70s , as I move towards the twilight years of motorcycling of both many British and high performance Japanese bikes, I love the cuteness that brings a smile to your face .Difficult choice between the DAX and the Monkey that Mr Darcy reviewed.
These DAX have finally come to the states!! Just like you old man it’s the first bike I first learned to ride on! Tremendous fun memories! Good review!
I love an old photo of me on a Honda st70, Oxford bags, feather cut, AirWare boots and zip jumper. In the back garden aged 15 where I learned to avoid the hedges. It was mum's during the 70s petrol crisis.
I had an ST70 in the 70 s just for going to work on , I used all the country lanes , I remember returning home after a night shift the local farmer had been cutting the hedges and I had to push it about 2 miles home with both tyres flat, ended up having new tubes because there must have been 10 punctures in each tyre when I eventually arrived home. My bike had the flower power seat , those were the days. Don’t remember what I did with it , perhaps gave it away, lol😂. Great video by the way. GL.
Living with a Dax in my opinion I got my Dax delivered on the 30/11/2023 with 1 mile on the clock and today it clicked onto 400 miles as I dropped it off for its first service Thursday 29/2.. I have used the bike for get to and from work doing c16 mile a day around 6-7 miles of that cruising at 35 mph ish and a little bit of filtering. The is faultless in my eyes it looks good it rides well I get 145-159 MPG and I think it will get better when it's fully run in. It is worth every penny I arrive at work with a big grin on my face
Although made in Thailand the quality of these little Dax’s does not disappoint. They are just as high as the original sixties and seventies models. Do not be tempted by the Chinese copies, living on a narrowboat I had two of them. They literally fell apart before my eyes. Made of Kit Kat wrappers and Smarties lids ! Cool video. Thank you.
I fell in love with this bike when I drove it 25 years ago around Greek islands, was a University student at the time on vacation. We just rented them using our car license, things were not as strict back then, you couldn't find a better ride for riding around, enjoying the scenery, even throttling it hard since you were never going to go very fast. In certain situations and for certain requirements I'm sure nothing would top this, and it easily carries two people as well.
good to see your reviews back again,allways informative,and unbiased,also love your goats and sheep in the beautifull welsh countryside perfect setting ,x
When I was about 9 or 10 years old, my dad won a sales contest which included an 80cc dirt bike. Because of my age and lack of experience, he traded down to second prize off road style pedal bike which I was very happy with until later when I found out, I could have had a dirt bike. Now I'm guessing when my dad seen that disappointed look on my face, he made note and when I was a little older, 11 or 12, he bought me one of these in the 70cc. I loved it! Drove it for miles down back country Canadian dirt roads. Learned about maintenance and bees in a helmet too. I even got a second one when drunk uncle pulled a backyard stunt and wrecked my first one. Lol I sure hope they sell these again in Canada. If I don't buy one, it'd just be great to see one again, have the memories flood back and smile. 👍🏻
You guys convinced me to get a Meteor 350 and I’ve been having a blast, but I still have the itch for a smaller bike. Glad the Dax is coming to the states next year!
Back in the day when I was 18 I had ridden by bike round to visit a physically slight 6 stone 5' 2" tall friend, who had bought a Honda ST50 for getting to work, she had asked me to look at the engine on the bike as it wasn't running right so I did and after making some adjustments I was giving the little bike a test ride to make sure I'd fixed the fault and the bike ran out of petrol right next to a petrol station, so I nipped in there and put a half gallon in the tank and went in to pay and the pretty girl behind the counter was in fits of laughter at the sight of my 18 stone, 6' 2" tall, tasseled black leather jacketed, leather booted with white socks turned down over the boot upper, full faced Bell crash helmet etc person riding on this tiny Honda, she said I looked like horse riding on the back of a dog or something like that, I thought it was funny and I've never forgotten it, my normal bike at the time was a BSA Spitfire 650 and I never got laughed at on that! These days in my late 60's I've come to really love the idea of these super economical lightweight bikes and I wouldn't mind having one, thanks for the sympathetic review and I hope you are healing up well my friend
I had a Honda Dax as a kid in the 70's. This new bike only comes with ABS breaks on the front wheels. In Australia motorcycles are require to have duel system (ie front & back) ABS breaks by law, to register the bike for road use. Unfortunately they are not importing this bike into Australia, due to this ABS issue.
I live in the States. You wouldn’t believe how popular the original 70, 90 and 110 models are here. Especially the CT models. People love them to load up on their Campers and RVs . Great fun bikes. These bikes are no good out here in the Great Plains but great around town or for camping
The original st70 had fold down handlebars and cable operated brakes to make them more practical for RV use. The st125 has hydraulic brakes so they have to have fixed handlebars.
Being disqualified from the Llanwheely ploughing match for cheating, & then having his first attempt at rose growing for the 'Rev. Spooner Cup,' wrongfully reclassified as a 'Fismal Dahlia', the Ol'Man was grateful he still had a Honda to rely on! : )
The first bike I ever rode in 1969 was the US model CT 70. I wanted one of these but Honda has decided not to import it to the US. If it does come here it will be at least $4000. So, lacking the opportunity to by the real thing I bought a Chinese clone. It is also a 125 with a 4 speed semi automatic. It has the original size 10” wheels. It is obviously not Honda quality but it is far better than the Chinese bikes of ten years ago. And it was $1500 brand new, delivered to my house. I put on knobby tires. It has been great fun!
I have had so much fun on 125's. The MSX 125 I had did over 7000 miles compared to the MT09 I owned at the same time that did half that. Had an ST70 probably 30 years ago, wish I still had it now. Just one thing, what are they like say setting off up a steep hill etc if you can't slip the clutch a bit.
I loved the original “Trail 70”…but alas, once Honda introduced its SL line, these became obsolete. I do appreciate the trip back in time, as I spent my boyhood riding such bikes from dawn to sunset. (though in the States we had cows instead of sheep!)
I've got one of these, had it delivered in December last year, done just over 200 miles on it since then (work and weather getting in the way). It's my first bike since doing my CBT. I find myself not using the heel shift, instead using the gearbox more like a regular bike's and going down a gear with the top of my foot. I find that a bit more comfortable Lack of storage is my only complaint, but a backpack sorts that out. I've ridden it on dual carriageways, through towns and on dirt roads and I've had a blast, though the dual carriageway definitely not what it is best suited to!
I hope they bring this to the US at some point. I had a CT 70 when I was a kid. I would never buy a monkey or a grom but I’d get one of these in a second. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. The old ct70s redone sell for 5k+ around here. Nostalgia isn’t that powerful for me.
The best bits are always towards the end of your videos Hmmmm Honda Dax UK , shame no Honda CT125s isn't it That said the Dax looks just as much fun , must test ride one , it's the only way to decide Best regards Shaun
I don’t know if you are aware but you can keep changing gear by keep pressing the gear lever down, Ie 1,2,3,4,neutral,1,2 and so on. You can pull up at traffic lights in 4th and just press down with your toe and your in neutral
You make a very good point about the Honda will hold it's value compared to the Chinese clones, that's the reason I didn't buy an old ST70, Some are going for more than the new one, and I bought a clone instead, that was before the new Honda came out, I don't intend to sell it, so as long as it stays reliable I will stick with it (new engines are cheap enough to replace if needed). they are good fun and makes a change from my Sportster or Speedmaster to nip about on
I love these 125’s and had the Monkey for a couple of years. Currently own a 110cc Supercub which is the Thailand made version which I bought new from Seven Seas Motors near Leeds. Slightly more old school than the U.K. version but I absolutely love it. Cheaper too.
Hey Johnny I was in seven seas the other day, those super cub 110s are gorgeous, are you happy with yours? Had any issues? I have a Honda wave 110 but prefer the style / long flat seat of the super cub 110 and was thinking of a change
@@alistairrobinson3865 Hi Alistair, no issues at all so far. Bike is typical Cub really so pretty much bomb proof. Definitely a better ride than my 87 Cub was but brake’s probably not as sharp as the disc on the UK spec. Stops well enough though. Love mine and intend to keep for many years.
@@johnnybgood7812 thanks for your reply, great to hear you are enjoying the bike. Might go and have another look, really like these recent 110 cubs. Drum brakes are fine, my wave 110 has a front disk but mainly use back anyway, plus rode 110s across Vietnam with drums no issues.
fun little bike, I just wish they did not put the dax branding letters over the vertical stripe. Now they just need a 250 trail and supercub with clutch and full manual :)
El Superb-A-Mundo my fellow physical culturist friend! The DAX 125 is not (yet?) available in the USA but that just means there are more available to our Cousins in Conservatism in Great Britain! Whatever you decide upon with your wife for her first motorbike I have no doubts it will deliver many smiles per gallon, Imperial or US! All the best, brother. SS
Great vid, thank you. Incredible and beautiful little bike. I recently bought a '22 Monkey. Have to say those god-awful stupidly oversize number plates in the UK look ghastly. Totally ruin the look of any motorcycle. Like a real 1950s throwback. I'd be more than up in arms if I had to endure idiotic visuals like those plates here in Austrralia. Good for a rear mudguard extension I suppose but at what visual cost!
I’m so worried about your injured leg when you tried to move that Dax out of the grassland. Should have got assistant during your shot with injury. Ride safe!
Youll fit. Im 6 foot and i fit on the grom and the trail 125. Over 6 feet you might start to feel cramped but 6 and below i think is on the money youll feel good on the bike of course they all feel a bit small bit youd be suprised how ergonomic the minis are imo
Honda is a time proven, reliable engine for sure. This chubby little tires make it really nice for off road as well. Because of the smaller but not too small diameter wheels and tires. You are quite the salesman pop. Oh, thanks for doing measurements in standard pounds and inches as well as metric for us American dummies 😂. I do watch a lot of bike videos from outside America and everyone quotes metric for seat height, suspension travel, etc and I go 😮🤔🥴. Thanks, good review.👍
I remember way back in the sixties when living near Antibes France, most of the yachts and cruisers had them on board looked way cooler in flip flops and tiny bikinis😛
I saw a girl proudly parking her new Dax outside the 7-Eleven in our village north of Chiang Rai a while back. I like the exposed engine pointing forwards. Good for cooling, I suppose. I don't like the heel/toe gearchange. The MPG figures will probably be accurate. Honda's quoted figure for the Wave 125i is. If I could get on with the gearchange, I'd consider one of these, but my 155cc twist and go scooter is better for shopping. And a lot faster off the mark. The Dax looks enormous fun, though. I was going to ask what bike your wife had bought.
Do this mean you can ride this on an automatic license? I have my CBT and want to do my full licence but in automatic not manual. Would i be allowed to ride this on an automatic license? Thanks, great video and love the bike
@@MrDarcy-OlManhappy to say, after a week of ownership, I'm loving my dax! The pearl nebula red is so much more beautiful in live than on photos or videos!
(Sir, I admire your bravery for doing this video when unknown to you a wooly/furry creature with horns was looming behind - ready to BUTT! I am also envious that your wifey wants/gets a DAX! Your total for 2 is what, $11,000 bucks!? Damn, that is like 8 months of child support for my ex-wifey: no fun beyotch but with family funded lawyer!)
I knew you loved it lol.. as soon as it said DAX… ok let your. Son review stuff you do not like lol AKA Hornet - you hated it from the start …😅too Obvious, dare say he had othe r commitments 🎉

Haha that’s a great story! I’ve just finished editing the new BSA Gold Star review which will go on Sunday morning.
Yep. This is the bike that has tempted me back on the road after a 30 year absence! Ordered in January and been told poss. May for delivery.
I had a Honda Dax as a kid in the 70's. This new bike only comes with ABS breaks on the front wheels. In Australia motorcycles are require to have duel system (ie front & back) ABS breaks by law, to register the bike for road use. Unfortunately they are not importing this bike into Australia, due to this ABS issue.
Ordered one this week bike number ten in the collection.. At this sort of money, the MPG and future values it's free motoring..
Another fantastic review 👍 also had the same haircut back then 😂. 70s Awesomeness 😀

Brilliant bike. Should be available everywhere. Thanks for the review. Keep it up.
I sometimes borrowed the Dax 50 back in the mid seventies. It was amazing for riding around town.
Great video and explanation,I ve just saw the new Dax recently and honestly and inmediatly, I felt in love , kindest regards from Spain
Hi from north of France. What a good clip ! Nice filming, using all the frame, and so truth in the evaluation of the 'bike'.
Something that puts a smile on your face and gets 125mpg US, realistically, sounds perfect to me...

I've been looking forward to the Dax return. I'll definitely be getting one as a 2nd bike. It's a proper grin machine!
Thank you for this video! I'm same size and it gives me assurance I could ride on it.

It looks like a fun around town bike and campground scoot around bike.
That's the one of the bikes I would love to see in my garage.
At this point, I'd love to see you do a Vespa review.
Want one of these for my 8 yr old whenever they bring to the US!! Come on Honda! 😂
Great review!
Thanks for such a nice video! THinking about some adv-150, but this one is looks great too.

I am probably about your age, and maybe a bit smaller, and can’t help but think that one of these would be a hoot.
Love them very cool little bike
Would love a 250cc model for easy 65mph cruising, they are pretty big so I think the frame would easily handle 20-25hp
In your prior review the Hornet is a “bit cramped” but the Dax is ok! Not me, the wife was genuinely confused. Love the sheep by the way.
Graham Higgins, I can believe that as I found more comfort on a monkey than my old 600bandit

Great review, I tried my 6'2 bum on a monkey yesterday and was surprised how much room there was , I'm looking at these too after watching, thanks 👍
Yes it's bananas 🍌 that monkey 🐒 is a great little thing 🛵
That would be perfect to load on a Reese hitch rack on a SUV to take on vacations.
Many thanks for the great review as always. I was very impressed with the spectacular scenery. What part of the world is this?
Thanks! It’s North Wales. Pretty but wet!
Add panniers and a top box for a practical town bike 👍👍👍
It is annoying that Honda does not give the option of a conventional clutch & gearbox though.
Good review!!
You almost didn't get out, hahaha!
nice, its a endearing bike i have one in Red
I'm very taken with these. I hope I can get one before this ridiculous government takes them away 😏
Indeed, I've been considering what to buy soon for that very reason.
Great vid, thank you. Incredible and beautiful little bike. I recently bought a '22 Monkey. Have to say those god-awful stupidly oversize number plates in the UK look ghastly. Totally ruin the look of any motorcycle. Like a real 1950s throwback. I'd be more than up in arms if I had to endure idiotic visuals like those plates here in Austrralia. Good for a rear mudguard extension I suppose but at what visual cost!
I had a 1972, it was great fun. My father paid $354.00 for it brand new. Wish iI still had it.
So, does the transmission shifts a "Round Robin" as in 4th, down, neutral, down, 1st? I believe that the super cub in Japan is setup that way. 🤔😎
It seems to be that way👍🏼
Hej jestem szczęśliwym właścicielem Honda DAX.
Podróżujemy razem z żoną 😁
Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱
Not gonna lie,Im liking that Honda hoodie...The bikes ok tho...
I’m so worried about your injured leg when you tried to move that Dax out of the grassland. Should have got assistant during your shot with injury. Ride safe!
is this ok for someone of 5ft 9? i have a surron motorbike at the moment and its so small for me. but really love this because of the semi automatic
@@chaoticoutlaw yes it would be fine for you 👍🏼
Youll fit. Im 6 foot and i fit on the grom and the trail 125. Over 6 feet you might start to feel cramped but 6 and below i think is on the money youll feel good on the bike of course they all feel a bit small bit youd be suprised how ergonomic the minis are imo
The Dax 125 is manufactured in Thailand and retails on the road in Thailand for 86,000 baht => £2,100.
Honda Monkey 125 or Honda DAX 125?
I’d say monkey just because it’s got a clutch
For me the Dax because you can change gear wearing sandals on the way to the beach 🙏😭
I always knew it as a CT70 I never heard DAX until now.
Yes same!
ST70 I had a white one in 1977.
They called it an st 70 dax in the uk and made a step through version with front basket and legshields called the cf70 chaly.
Honda is a time proven, reliable engine for sure. This chubby little tires make it really nice for off road as well. Because of the smaller but not too small diameter wheels and tires.
You are quite the salesman pop.
Oh, thanks for doing measurements in standard pounds and inches as well as metric for us American dummies 😂. I do watch a lot of bike videos from outside America and everyone quotes metric for seat height, suspension travel, etc and I go 😮🤔🥴. Thanks, good review.👍
We can't even get the trail one twenty five, Why can't I get the bike I want? I mean really honda what's up!
How bout I buy a trail 125, you buy this and we ship them to each other. Because i wish we had gotten this instead of the trail.
The Honda 125cc engine is great!
still not can make a U turn with the honda ?
Any kits to raise the front fender up- the only thing that i do not like
Cual prefieres dax o cl500 ? Se que tienen una diferencia en tamaño y motor . Pero estoy dudando entre las dos .
Gracias de antemano .
¡Prefiero el dax!
beau pays ! joli film !!!
NICE review1. Do you know wha colors they come in?
Check on Honda's website as probably different in each country 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks. The Dax has not been released in the. United States yet.
Do you have the Honda Trail over there? Like the Dax but more off-road
No Honda trail in Uk
@@MrDarcy-OlMan That’s too bad mate. It’s a lovely little bike. Absolutely perfect for around your way.
I remember way back in the sixties when living near Antibes France, most of the yachts and cruisers had them on board looked way cooler in flip flops and tiny bikinis😛
Waiting on one in the states still. Bought another chinese repop while I wait for the time being.
You most come ride here in SA 🇿🇦🏴 guys - Wild coast isn’t that name just a bit enticing let me know🏴
I saw a girl proudly parking her new Dax outside the 7-Eleven in our village north of Chiang Rai a while back. I like the exposed engine pointing forwards. Good for cooling, I suppose. I don't like the heel/toe gearchange. The MPG figures will probably be accurate. Honda's quoted figure for the Wave 125i is. If I could get on with the gearchange, I'd consider one of these, but my 155cc twist and go scooter is better for shopping. And a lot faster off the mark. The Dax looks enormous fun, though.
I was going to ask what bike your wife had bought.
@Overlander 123 Good point.
nice!
I wish they would put manual transmissions on these 125cc Honda motorcycles.
Being a semi-auto was one of the reasons I've chosen this bike.
But the monkey and the Grom are fully manual and great bikes too
The seat height is quite high for the size of motorbike.
If it was lower it would have a much bigger market, especially girls.
Do this mean you can ride this on an automatic license? I have my CBT and want to do my full licence but in automatic not manual. Would i be allowed to ride this on an automatic license? Thanks, great video and love the bike
@@gregmartyn1976 I am not sure to be honest as you do need to change the gears even though there is no clutch 👍🏼
❤❤❤
You'd choose this, or a scooter?
This
@@MrDarcy-OlManhappy to say, after a week of ownership, I'm loving my dax!
The pearl nebula red is so much more beautiful in live than on photos or videos!
(Sir, I admire your bravery for doing this video when unknown to you a wooly/furry creature with horns was looming behind - ready to BUTT! I am also envious that your wifey wants/gets a DAX! Your total for 2 is what, $11,000 bucks!? Damn, that is like 8 months of child support for my ex-wifey: no fun beyotch but with family funded lawyer!)
Yamaha xrs 125 or dax ? Thanks .
Always Honda 💯
Can I too get a little heart?
Can you do a test on the GROM please, and get your wife on a GROM, she'll love it 😊👍🏻
They say back wheel is too small.and dangerous.
