If there is one thing that epitomizes the saying “big things come in small packages,” it is the Honda Click 125i. For years, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) only offered modest 110-cc scooters in their product line-up. When they finally came out with a 125 cc, they threw in a whole lot of class-leading features to give it a dominant presence in that particular segment.
The Click 125i’s Idling Stop System (ISS) has to be its major selling point. Compared to the conventional engine that continuously consumes fuel once the engine is started, ISS eliminates wasteful fuel consumption by automatically switching the engine off after idling for 3 seconds at stop lights and other brief stops. This results in a claimed 64.3 kilometers per liter fuel consumption. When the light turns green, all you have to do is twist the throttle and the engine fires up in less than a second.
