The buzzworthy "boxy Zoomer," Honda's Square X125, has landed in Japan. Web Autoby had exclusive access to the first unit in the country and shares its first impressions. Defined by a squared-off, straight-lined 125cc body, it's drawing attention for a playful package reminiscent of the classic Zoomer.

Before I even read the specs, this boxy silhouette alone gets my pulse up. It's a bike that translates the Zoomer's 'tool-like' feel into a modern 125cc package. Getting impressions from the first domestic unit is a big deal. I want to pore over every detail of the actual bike and compare it against the old model.

A playful 125cc like this — the target buyer could shift a lot depending on the price.

The playful design's nice, but I'm curious how it holds up on practicality and storage capacity.

Is the Square X125 planned to get an official domestic sales channel too?

The article just says it's landed here, doesn't give a timeline for an official domestic rollout.

An exclusive first ride on the first unit in Japan — that's Web Autoby's breaking-news speed showing through.

The original Zoomer had a pretty edgy design too, so it's fun to see this as a legitimate evolution of that.

The design literally embodies the 'boxy Zoomer' nickname — the kind of thing that'll really hit home for the original Zoomer generation.

A boxy, straight-line-heavy body goes completely against the streamlined scooter trend lately, which actually makes it feel fresh.
