Yes, our insider has given us 100% correct information about the launch of the 2013 Honda EX5 110 and the automatic bike Airblade 125. Let me break the surprise first, the Airblade 125 comes equipped with PGM-FI system. This is what we are waiting for, the era of FI system finally getting to our soil.
The popular EX5 has been upgraded with better engine and cosmetics all around it. The engine are now 109.17cc which is larger that the bike it replaces at only 92cc. It retains the carburetor-type fuel system that should keeps the price low and also low maintainance. Another improvement is the bigger tank capacity at 4.0L which is larger than it predecessor at only 3.7L. This can contribute to fewer fuel station stops and longer travel distance. It comes in 4 colour choices that is, Euphoria Red Metallic, Vital Blue Metallic, Mariana Purple Metallic and Pearl Graceful Green. 
The meter cluster also has been change with modern looks along with the added muffler protector that should helps to keep the heat away if you accidently touch the exhaust.
Honda Airblade is a welcome addition to Honda family in Malaysia which features PGM-FI system that has become the standard in our neighbouring country. The Airblade is powered by 124.88cc engine that provides 8.2kW (11.1PS) at 8500rpm and 11.2N.m(1.14kgf.m)/5000rpm. That should give a good ‘go’ feeling. There are few features that makes this Airblade interesting. One of it is the Idling-Stop system that for now only available in Honda PCX150. Idling-Stop is a good way to increase the fuel-efficiency further by making the engine of the bike automatically stops at traffic light (or anytime when the bike is halted) and starts again automatically when the rider release the brake. This feature usually reserved for hybrid vehicle. Also included is the Remote Response Key, which makes the key have a remote button just like keys for car. When the button is pushed, the bike will beep, so you can find your bike easily in crowded area. The light system will also flash along with key shutter light and U-box light. Interesting idea. Anyway, I think this feature is added as a global feature since there are two countries that I think is crowded with motorcycle that is Indonesia and Vietnam, so this Remote Response Key will really help them to find their bike in parking space full of motorcycle.
