Looking at buying a small automatic skooter/motosai in the near future. Had originally looked at buying second hand to keep the cost down but really there doesn't seem to be a massive difference in a brand new bike and a 2 year old one (maybe 10k?). I have had a look at the new Honda Icon which seems to fit most of my needs...2 wheels, decent enough looking, don't need to pedal etc etc!

I'm really looking for something to skoot around town but it needs to have enough power to get me the 25km to school from my apartment down the Phetkasem Road in one piece. Having said that I will not be driving like Batman and I believe 130km/h is ridiculously fast to be going on a machine which is little more than a bicycle with an engine!

Back on topic...Has anyone got/know anyone who has got a Honda Icon? Any reviews? More importantly, does anyone know how much they cost? I have heard they are a little cheaper than their counterparts; Nouvo, Click, Fino/Mio etc.

Any info would be appreciated

hi blind

i saw an icon shortly in a really nice sort of neon pink paint scheme. it really caught my eye. but' that's about all i know about it. did u ever consider a honda airblade? so far i've heard only positive things about it and it also looks nice.

best regards

does anyone know how much they cost?

About 39.000 - 40.000 baht
