1happykamper Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm comparing value for money between a Honda Wave 110i and a 125i I'm located far from a dealer but want to do my homework on-line first My closest dealer quoted me 52kB for a new wave 110i !! But....on thr Honda website...prices "start from 37kB". I don't have a quote yet for a 125i. I know to add about 3k for docs but it still doesn't explain the huge price difference Has anyone here bought a new Wave this past year or so?

Damrongsak Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Looks like there are three versions, from most to least expensive I believe: front disc brake/mag wheels front disk brake/spoke wheels front drum brake/spoke wheels There should not be a large difference in price. https://www.thaihonda.co.th/honda/laravel-filemanager/files/shares/TH_Wave110i_Catalogue.pdf EDIT: Also some have electric start and some do not.

Popular Post Bday Prang Posted March 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2023 37,000 sounds very reasonable, If I remember correctly, When I bought one for the missis I paid 30,000 for the basic 110 almost 20 years ago, Still going strong too. although to be fair its only done about 70,000 km !! Never really had a problem , hasn't been registered for a few years and rarely goes out the village these days so it will probably outlast me. Not sure why anybody would want a leccy starter though. Not much power though so if you intend riding 2=up much I'd gp for the 125 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) not much to know or compare wave 110i starts @ 37,100 wave 125i starts @ 54,800 Extras as always UP2U Mags Electric start Ours was 48k+ (125i/mags/elec start) but also 10+years ago If you don't need top end speed, or long distance. Want to avoid constant maintenance and buying petrol, you may want to consider Electric. DECO has assorted line up of bikes: https://decogreenenergy.com/index.php/th/ Edited March 28, 2023 by KhunLA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there may be a misunderstanding somewhere That 52k is more than likely the 125 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 i paid 1800 for registration on top of listed price for a Click, this from Bowin, Asia City Motors, depends where you live, dealers like Mityon charge a few thousand more and try to force you to buy rubbish theft insurance, so that will account for about 5k over list price. Try different dealers, look on Facebook and message them there, easy to agree on messenger \ Line 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Adiudon Posted March 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2023 I've just bought a 2 year old 110i wave for 36k with 10k km, top spec model, from Nat motor sales, the price for a new one was 45,700 same spec, this is the list price from Honda. The models without mag wheels, electric start and front disc brake are around 6-7000b less. I shopped around as I always do but prices where the same regardless of the condition and milage of the bikes, I was told later that the second hand price is set by Honda. The Honda website has the current models, specs and list prices. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Inflation since we bought ours (top end) 125i. @1happykamper OP should seriously look at DECO models (linked earlier) for those top end ICE prices. Again, if not need top end speed or long distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 For your comparison I bought a Honda scopey in 2010 due to production issues with the great flood it was only the Liverpool version available for cash and that cost 52,000bt so 52k 13 years later sounds amazing ????

Toby1947 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I bought an ex rental Airblade swist and go 12yrs ago for 12000 baht best buy I've ever made. Still flying along shop around these rental guys are desperate for money due to lack of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the above were with disc brake on the front I paid 60,000 baht late last summer for a New 125 Wave electric start, mag wheels, so 62,000 baht now would be right. The high price difference between the 110 and 125 Wave, it has always been about 10,000 baht, as I was told the 125 is in a different tax bracket, hence higher price.

In the jungle Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I paid 48K out the door for the 'top model' Wave 110i earlier this year. 'Top model' was the salesman's phrase not mine. 'Top model' is a phrase I find hard to relate to a Wave 110i. It is, essentially, the same old Wave they have been selling for the last decade. But it is the best selling bike in Thailand for good reason. The LED headlight is an excellent addition and possibly the best motorcycle headlight I have ever used. I need to do a comparison with the twin 60w halogens on my thirty plus year old NC30 to be sure. When I compared the Wave 110i to the 125 there was negligible difference in performance and the 125 was more money and heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 There are a few dealers near the big industrial park like Nawa Nakhon north of Bangkok that don't mind cash price and they do the starter wave 110 at 37grand out the door, most are not like this and will put up the price and penalize the cash buyer compared to ripoff finance deal they'll be offering if the cost of transport from these dealers to your location is cheaper than what your local Honda dealer is charging, it's a good deal, mind you come servicing time the local could be giving you the cold shoulders as you didn't buy from them (they're not supposed to, but if they say the appointment book is full what're you gonna do) but waves rarely go wrong or need warranty claim so go for it the above table shows the price goes up with front disc, electric starter and ultimately mag wheels some dealer might not stock the cheapest model with front drum brakes (first column is cash out the door price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
