I think it is a Wave AT.  A Wave but with some kind of CVT transmission.

 

It didn't sell well.

But seems to be popular in Philippines and Indonesia. One thing against it is that a basket cannot simply be added on the front. Something almost unheard of in Indonesia.

Only one model year here 2010.

I probably have not ridden it for five years or more.

 

I haven't needed anything other than service items which I got from a Honda dealer in the UK or a dealer in Hong Kong when I worked there.  I do remember that the unusual spark plugs foul fairly easily and cannot be brought back to life.  A pain when they are about a hundred quid a set.

Interesting never knew it had special plugs what's so special about them, maybe they are classic to now ????

I never had problems with the spark plugs. Or at least I don't know about it, I had a guy in Bangkok who was specialized in these bikes and he took care of most issues.

I remember when I had one bad water pipe I asked the guy to order a set and replace them all. He told me he would love to do that but he can't order them anywhere. When one pipe needed replacement he looked to find a pipe from some other bike which fit, maybe with modification.

At that time that was my only bike and I was fed up with waiting a month at a time to get it fixed.

 

I hope you will continue to enjoy your bike. 14,500 red line 100km/h in the 1st gear is a lot of fun. ????

8mm thread. 

 

Honda make a song and dance in the service manual about how they specified and had these plugs manufactured so they could fit larger valves.

Honda CB750 classed as the first Superbikes has anyone had one. 

A Japanese friend had one and let me borrow it for a week to go on my high school graduation field trip to Shimoda in June 1971. I was 17 years old. 
It was green and awesome. I believe it was a 1969 model. Very thrilling exhaust note on those early CB750s.

A few friends in Tokorozawa Japan 1970. Me on the left with my A7. 
 

Papa al, the bike on the right was the 90cc Japanese market version of your Yamaha 100 twin.

I took this picture at the 1990 Daytona Beach bike week bike show. It was said to be a prototype of a new bike that Honda was working on. Hmmm.

Good looking bikes, unlike many bikers I've never been one for 2 stokes.

 

Although there so easy to maintain. 

 

My sons Polini 49cc engines.

Honda FSX 150. NSR's little brother. Can't find date of manufacture but pretty sure it is antique. Fast as hell_o for a 150. Had a 1982 Harley FLH Classic in Canada but got screwed by a guy who called himself a friend. I am here, he is there... nothing I can do about it anymore.
