ITMan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Honda Wave 110i AT Hi Has anyone got one of these? I am thinking it would make a great 7/11-taxi? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) good run-around but prefer the Suzuki Hayate/Yam Nouvo as they have more storage under the seat and fairings to help keep your legs/feet dry.

vel_tins Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) great bike, comfy for bigger people, feels a lot more robust, compared with a Hayate. (Sure it's a WAVE ) 2-2.5 litres per 100 KM. Starts always on the first click, even when it was parked 4 weeks. BUT: as mentioned before, poor storage. You will need a Top-Box.

2008bangkok Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Never seen a Honda wave automatic before, click, fino, nouri, air blade but not a wave auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumetCycle Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yes, it is a great bike. The under seat storage area is quite small though. However, this year's Wave 110 and 125 manuals offer much more storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel_tins Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) ...this year's Wave 110 and 125 manuals offer much more storage. Nah, not really. Are they available as Automatics? Underseat storage from my Wave Automatic (early 2011): Never seen a Honda wave automatic before.... Not too many on the road, maybe due to the price. Mine was 48K new. And a Wave 110i manual, is/was available for under 40K Edited July 20, 2012 by vel_tins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITMan Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Are they available as Automatics? Yeah, they are, and I have ordered one. 2 weeks to the dealer and 46800 baht on the road. In Phuket it's really the safest option (I'm thinking) as it's not fast, and not high on the theft list.... I hope! I'll post a review/pics on it once it arrives.

vel_tins Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) It's only a 110cc for the automatic. unfortunately, yes... I am thinking about buying a moderate Big-Bore Kit (~140cc) and another Camshaft from *Hispeedpiston* in BKK. All together around 5-6000 Bt. But not sure about adjusting the FI (another Chip/ECU or just increasing fuel pressure?). I don't want to convert it to carb.

ITMan Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Due to the 'challenging road skills' here in Phuket, I didn't want anything fast. There's a good chance my body could still get identified, should the worst happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel_tins Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just buy one, you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITMan Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well I bough one, and it's not bad at all. Good points: It's fast enough. 80KMH at a push. It seems to go about 100KM's for 100 baht of gas. It's better than a Click over Phuket's potholes and cracks. Bad points: Underseat storage almost nil. The seat. It's rock hard! It's not a 'cool' bike, but that's why I bought it, neither am I Cheers everyone for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
