mt advice for what its worth , stick to the "Wave" and avoid Honda Scoopys and especially the PCX as there is too much to go wrong on them, a Wave will last 20 years plus easily, and as another member has said ,they are virtually indestructible, even for young Thai lads , and that's saying something

I have had a 110 Wave for 22 years never had a problem with it , my wife has inherited a Pcx from the daughter who now lives in Denmark , its only 6 year old and there's been no end of trouble with it , I could never recommend one especially second hand.

Riding a wave is admittedly not the pinnacle of motorcycling experience but it beats pushing a PCX or a Scoopy or anything else down the hard shoulder in the blazing sun any day of the week, less plastic to replace when the "inevitable" happens too

Im the boytom of thr barrel then

Only ever had wave 135 new and used

During covid my and 2 others bottombarrels from rayong to chiangmai back forth, stopping someplace to rext.

I also owned a ducati 400, (dont tell the pcx guy) but old age is for something else. And eisdom (as many users have shown) could suggest 2nd hand 20k wave and park anywhere.

Both very valid points...

I've owned larger bikes here (in BKK) with the idea of getting out the city more. I didn't... there was little point.

Then parking - that was a headache - I'd leave a little space - but a skinny little thing would be parked next to me and I had no room to manoeuvre out without moving the other bike first (this was surprisingly common).

Then there was the issue of scratches - from tight parking - I see scratches on my bike from other bikes (number plate sticking out etc) - it just wasn't worth having anything nice, using it, and parking it without thinking very carefully about how much space it leaves careless twit to abandon their bike - people at that level just have no care for others stuff.

Now I have a nice 300cc scooter - looks cool, slightly modded, nice paintwork etc - but again, I have to be very careful where I park it.... Even nipping to 7-11, I come out and some tool has parked so close that I have to back-out with the bike slightly tipped over to the left because the bike that parked up to the right is so close I can't upright the bike fully.

Sometimes - its just less hassle not to be owned by the things we own.

Buy a 8k moto for city

Use big bike for fun outside city and find a safe parking

A wave 125 is great to travel banglamung bkk , the journey is doable and the bike is small enough to zigzag around.

A pukhet friend, tipycal pukhet people, harley davidson.

Eventually he learnt he had to park in huahin and take the bus to bkk ahah

In one Bday i have a GPX drone no kickstart, keyless. Jumped on it one day ignition shat itself couldnt start the bike couldnt even lift the seat up. had to pay to get it picked up couldn't repair the barrel full replacement or put key ignition on. Go for a bike with a kickstart. Even with ABS the thais always use front break pull it in that quick when road wet with diesel spillage and off the go bike stops but the wheel slides sideways throwing them off.

I'd add ONLY get a bike that has ABS.... some will argue ABS is not necessary for experienced riders... BS

ABS is helpful for anyone - I wouldn't ride here without it - particularly given how greasy the surfaces get at the first rains after a few days.

Plus an electric starter as kicking it will get very old very fast.

I asked because in places like chiang mai there are also markets, one big market specifically.

Anyway, you say facebook marketplace is the way to buy in banglamung.

And 35k would be the ongoing rate for a 6 years old wave 125, correct?

Thnx

35k is the price for a new one. Don't buy a Wave second hand IMO, they are often badly driven and maintained.

There needs to be a little more clarification there...

Base 110 model is ฿39,000 new (some shops may have offers) - Top model is ฿66,200.

None have ABS.

So - if comparing second hand - ensure what model its compared with for pricing.

Wave 110i Spoke Wheels - Kick Start Only - Brakes: Drum / Drum - ฿39,000

Wave 110i Spoke Wheels - Electric Start & Kick start - Brakes: Disc / Drum - ฿46,300

Wave 110i Alloy Wheels - Electric Start & Kick start - Brakes: Disc / Drum - ฿48,300

Wave 110i Alloy (Special Edition) - Electric Start & Kick start - Brakes: Disc / Drum - ฿48,800

Wave 125i Spoke Wheels - Electric Start & Kick start - Brakes: Disc / Drum - ฿57,200

Wave 125i Alloy Wheels - Electric Start & Kick start - Brakes: Disc / Drum - ฿59,400

Wave 125i Alloy + Gold Rims - Electric Start Only - Brakes: Disc / Drum +Smart Key - ฿60,800

Wave 125R Limited Edition - Electric Start Only - Brakes: Disc / Drum +Smart Key - ฿66,200

IMO - Best honda out there in this 'scooter bracket' is the ADV 150 / 160 models.

Fair enough. Starting price is currently advertised at 36,830 on Honda's website:

https://www.thaihonda.co.th/honda/motorcycle/family/new-honda-wave-110i

I like the ADV's aesthetics. In fact, this is the next bike I will be getting (the 350 though). Looks great.

When making the choice to step down from a larger bike I did so because the ADV 350 had just come out.

I was able to sell my exiting bike quite quickly and then went to the Honda dealerships - 6month wait for the ADV 350 - I tried numerous dealerships around BKK - none budging - they'd been over sold at the motorshow.

Personally - I'm with you - I'd steer clear of the Honda Wave.

But - the Op wants that.... but if all he wants is a 7-11 bike - I'd open the scope because they're all very similar at that price point... But one key thing as mentioned earlier - I'd never ride here without ABS.

Yep, that's me.

The cub is popular in Australia, overpriced, not sure why anyone would buy it, maybe it's because the postie's ride them. Stupid looking, uncomfortable bike.

I've been buying new bikes since 2001 in Thailand. First bike was a Yamaha Mio, disc brake front end. Most of the other scooters have been Honda's..... Scoopy, Air Blade, Zoomer, Lead, PCX etc, none have every failed me. I get them serviced by Honda and change out batteries (cheap as chips) regularly.

If you are going to skimp out on services you are going get caught out, it will fail, if that's the way you manage your vehicles, upto you.

Those manual (non auto) scooters are hard work, OK for a young Thai guy, not a middle aged/elderly foreigners

I think you need to read my post again , perhaps a little more slowly, you certainly need to stop with your condescending tone. The bike was second hand, how was I supposed to "manage" it before my wife took possession.

If somebody is so old and frail that they find changing gear or kick starting a honda wave "hard work" then they really should not be riding a motorcycle at all, To suggest that middle aged guy would have difficulty is ridiculous,, unless he was disabled, In which case refer to the previous sentence

In Thailand Honda waves start at 39,000 bt so your comment can also be ignored in my opinion

I bought a Wave second hand 12 years ago....great bike and I,m in my 70,s apart from replacing tyres and battery and a yearly oil change never a problem....go for it I say.

Honda Wave 110i (Starts around ฿36,830)

Best for budget-conscious buyers seeking maximum fuel efficiency. [1]

• Kick Start / Drum Brake / Spoke Wheels: ~36,830 THB to 39,000 THB.

• Electric Start / Disc Brake / Spoke Wheels: ~40,600 THB to 43,500 THB.

I cannot ride a wave, change down gears is impossible with my ankle articulation.

So I have to lift foot and stomp down with the ball of my foot.

The OP, me, clearly took a model as benchmark/example, and it s not the model you mention.

You are off the topic.

How do i block you, btw?

For a small bike, what is nice about the wave is the foot brake as both hands are able to be free sitting on an incline. The 110 is more fun and agile than the 125 and probably more sensible than the 125 since the 125 is rarely ever topped out by anyone.

You did not specify a model , you quoted a price near the top of the range , here is what you posted......

Incorrect The price of a new wave starts at 36830 bt you were wrong and as the thread is clearly titled "2nd hand motorbike" you are actually off topic on your own thread, Well done

You cannot "block" me you can only "ignore" me although you cannot even do that if you don't know how

Why you would wish to block me anyway ? i gave you good advice in line with your requests and I corrected you when you were wrong, you seem to need all the help you can get , you should think twice before blocking anybody Where you actually thinking of riding "unsupervised" I hope you don't live in Surin

They are great price, robust and cheap to run.

Ive bought a few over the years for inlaws.

It's strange when I get back there, they seem to be missing parts, chain guards, mirrors etc.

Anyway, they keep going 😂

I wouldn't ignore it too quickly. Starting price is just under 37k as advertised by Honda Thailand. The 60k price you are stating is for a top-of-the-range model with full options.

I read your original post, and for the thread to go on to discuss various prices and variations of the model in question is a normal development of any forum discussion.

My contribution was that, in my opinion (with which you are free to disagree), a new entry-level model is preferable to a more advanced second hand model.

Now granted, you did specify 125 as opposed to 110 – if that 15 cc difference is really important to you, then fine… but there really isn't anything to argue about.

Nor would I, here or anywhere for that matter. It saved me from an accident once, very effective (on a PCX).

I wasnt the one arguing.

And i do accept tailgating and hijacking, not a problem. Though let s make sure then we clearly specify what we r talking about, to avoid confusion.

E.G. : one cannot states: wave costs 35k. (If the OP clearly posted about a specific model and the thread is about that model)

And regarding your preferences, you have the right to whatever your preferences.
