Sportier version of the S-Wing 125. I am currently riding one now. Braking and handling is spot on. The Japanese need to influence the Italian's a little more.

SH-125 is also the BIGGEST selling scooter in italy to this date. Now the New SH-125 has a rear and front brake caliper instead of the old drum brakes, this is something to consider when going for reliability.
