Fast Wave 110 RS

I was cruising along the highway this morning when the new Wave 110 RS suddenly took me over. Curious, I followed the bike.

I was at 120km/h but the RS110 seems to be getting further and further. I was at 135km/h once when I tried to get close to it. At a corrected speed, I think the RS110 was speeding easily at around 110km/h. Pretty good for a cute little kapcai.

From a distance, it looked good. Stable and solid. Suspension seem to be taking the highway very well. I don't know if Honda had made improvement on the chassis but if they did, it will be a great improvement on the overall package.

But the price is on the high side. But I do wish the 125 version will roll out of the factory soon!

Not Many On The Road

It's been quite some time after launching of a few new model kapcai and scooter. But not many seen on the road, I mean these new kapcai.

GT128 - well I've seen a few but not that many.
CT110 - more of CT110 on the road conpared to others. This may due to a very reasonable price (<4K)
Wave 125 X Optimo - I've seen none on the road. May be too expensive
Shogun 125 SP / RR - once in a while. Surely Suzuki has not been very successful.
Symphony 250i - well, what would you expect from and 18k price. I've seen it only once on the highway.

The economy has not improve. People still having a hard time trying to balance their account every month. A few lucky one, still manage to posses their dream machine, but most of us will have to think many many time before deciding to get a new ride.
