WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I still like the good old Honda Dream. Currently Honda seems to be trying some retro-styling on the existing (somewhat dull) model. Which is nice enough, leveraging decades of Super Cub history. However I get the feeling that the next model may really have retro features. I'm not under any time constraint to buy, so I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on when the next model might be due for release? (Anything super-cub based, also when it's not under the Dream brand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Follow up to self.. In Japan there seem to be all kinds of interesting models based on the basic Dream / Super Cub model. These look highly interesting.. To the point that it seems like free money waiting for Honda to rake in.. and finally do something stylish and original in the process.

wantan Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is this model available in Thailand? Its perfect for mounting a large transport box on the rear for shopping. The only similar bike (without pillion seat) i know of is the Ryuka Classic2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantan Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) WinnieTheKhwai, what "real retro features" do you expect coming in future?To reduce confusion i try to list the currently in Thailand available models:Dream 110iDream Super Cub (identical to Dream 110i but different colors)Both do not have a rack. I would like to buy the model with rack instaed of pillion seat (first picture in the OP), but it seems not available, or am i wrong?

guzzi850m2 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't like the front drum brake, retro or not but the single seater with the huge luggage rack does look very practical. Before we bought a car we used the scooters for all shopping and we sometimes overfilled them to where they were outright dangerous to ride. Having a kid makes shopping in the truck a breeze and we sometimes fill 2 shopping carts. My wife's Scoppy have a 33lit top box permanently fitted so it's good for short shopping runs.

ktm jeff Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That yellow one is fantastic. I think much better than the modified cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewrooney Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 i dont know why we can buy Honda Dream 125 cc (made in thailand) in Cambodia and only 110 cc in Thailand . Doesn't the Dream 125 sold in Cambodia have a carburetor? All of Honda's current bikes in Thailand are fuel injected. It could have something to do with Thailand's stricter emission standards and/or the decreased availability of benzine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 In Thailand, only honda Wave 125 and 110 but honda dream only 110 cc Ups sorry, I was thinking about the wave. I thought that honda stopped making carbed bikes a long time ago but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I don't like the front drum brake, retro or not but the single seater with the huge luggage rack does look very practical. My thoughts too. Why not get a retro-looking bike if your taste goes in this direction, but with modern brakes and suspension. Retro looking is OK - retro sure ain't !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro looking is OK - retro sure ain't !! Yes in Thailand you need the best brakes you can get and I will never compromise on that just because of looks. Well I did once, bought a Tiger Retro w/sidecar and what a mistake that was, the front brake was so lousy that I could easily push the rig with fully pulled front brake. The fxxxxxx thing was dangerous to ride with a person in the sidecar but quite funny when riding alone as you could just lock the rear wheel and spinning sideways, he-he. So NEVER again a front drum on my bikes, retro on not, safety first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
