Roughly how much is the Dream 125cc going for nowadays? Is it worth purchasing one new, or should I hunt around for a used one. If I recall, the resale value was quite high on these, so there might not be much to save going used. Is 36,000Baht for a new one close? Thanks for any help.

If you'll look around here:

you'll find a lengthy discussion of Honda Dream and Wave. They come in many models.

Here's one website to a dealer, Yingyong, on the Dream 125. Elsewhere, it shows there are many models of the Wave 125.

I hope that helps.

Many thanks indeed! Should give me lots to cosnider.

For the money a new disc brake wave100 would be the best buy around for basic transport. Fairly cheap at about 31000. They are quite smooth and pleasant to ride. Not a long distance highway machine though. But I've known thai people who have ridden from Phuket to Udon Thani on them. Give me a BMW GS1200 for that!
