If you spend any amount of time in the Thai capital of Bangkok, you’re going to spot Honda Wave bikes. You’ll spot plenty of other small bikes and scooters, of course—but as you adjust your senses to your environment, you’ll start to notice details. The vast majority of what you’ll see will be 110cc and 125cc offerings, which are everywhere. They’re a nearly perfect, eminently practical mode of transportation to get around crowded, bustling cities like Bangkok.
The Honda Wave 110i seems to be, from personal observation, a more common sight than its slightly larger sibling, the Wave 125i. Given the price difference for a new one (฿37,100, or about $1,060 for the 110i versus ฿54,300, or about $1,551 for the 125i in August 2023), it’s not terribly difficult to see why.
