Laughing....I think I'll stick with the stock 125 ????

Hey all, 

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a Honda Wave (125cc). It will be stock, with no modifications. 

For those of you who own a Wave, what would you recommend I upgrade to get started?

I've read a bit about:

• Replacing the rear shocks with YSS shocks for a smoother ride. 
• Adding a luggage rear rack to the back.

Other thoughts I have are:

• Upgrading the headlight to be brighter at night. Thoughts?
• Better tires - On the forum, people recommend Michelin tires with all-purpose tread. The M35 2.25 on the front and M62 2.5 on the rear come recommended. 

Anyone else have any thoughts on the above or additional suggestions on how to make the Wave a better ride?

Thanks!

Dave

Thanks again, everyone. 

One more question:

It seems like all the new dealerships are carrying 2018's. Does anyone know where I can find a new, previous year model (2017 or older)? Seems like I'd get a better deal this way. I would also be open to buying a previous year model with only a few thousand kilometers on it. 

Thanks in advance for any input!

Awesome. Thanks, everyone!

So included in the purchase price will be the service of registration and transferring everything into my name? 

What other extras should I bargain for?

Hey everyone, 

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

I'm new to the area and would like to buy a new Honda Wave - preferably a 125 cc. Any recommendations for dealers/shops in the area? I understand that the price is probably pretty standard from one place to the next but pluses would include:

1. English speaking sales staff

2. Room for negotiating extras - insurance, tax, accessories, etc. 

Any thoughts or experience?

Best regards, 

Dave
