Befitting this compact yet comfortably proportioned Executive Scooter, the Pantheon also features ample carrying capacity. Its sleekly contoured tandem seat opens from the side to reveal a voluminous carrying space designed to carry two helmets (one full-face, and one semi-jet style) or a briefcase and more with ease. And in a break from tradition, the Pantheon's locking compartments are opened by the multi-function ignition switch, which, after inserting the ignition key, must be pressed in and turned to the left to open the seat and to the right to open the fuel filler cover door. A light built into the underside of the seat provides welcome night-time illumination for quickly finding things in the large, dark space under the seat.

The new Pantheon gets its impressive motivation from essentially the same strong, quiet and reliable 4-stroke single-cylinder engine currently powering Honda's popular line-up of recent 125 scooters, the @125 SH125 and Dylan 125. Delivering strong low-to-midrange torque output for quick and smooth acceleration, this engine also features highly efficient combustion characteristics for excellent fuel economy and low running costs, not to mention less polluting exhaust emissions.

Above the bars, the Pantheon's stylish instrument panel conveys a look commonly associated with high-end luxury sports sedans, with its prominent, fully electronic speedometer centrally positioned on a prominently raised base under a large, flush-surface lens, and surrounded by coolant temperature and fuel gauges positioned at the lower edges of the dial. At the panel's base, a large LCD odometer display incorporates an easily set dual-trip meter and clock display. Receiving its high-accuracy digital signal from a transmission-mounted sensor, the speedometer dial is backlit through large, translucent markings for a softly illuminated yet instantly recognisable display. LED indicators include a fuel injection system failure warning light and an oil change reminder indicator.
