Honda RS 110

Another 'kapcai'!

What to do! This is the most popular category in this country. To the manufacturer this is a guarantee returned to their investment.

I had a chance to look closely at this model. Personally, I am impressed.

It is a 'kapcai'. Engine is 110 cc. Design is totally new, from the looks to the engine. It has a modern look with a totally brand new exhaust design.

Overall, looks shorter than Wave 125 S but I think that is just because the seat is a little shorter and the tail light does not protrude long enough to the rear. But I like it..............

Cover set and finishing..... typical Honda.... very good quality. Engine... new cylinder head cover, new lubrication system (with external piping for engine oil distribution).

Performance... well I rode for about 3km. Torque was good. It launch the bike very well. Feels like a big bike. Meter panel was big enough to make you feel secure behind the handle bar. Gear changes has a totally different feel compared to Wave 125 series, closer to the Class and Class 1.

Well, that was my personal opinion. If you want a real experience, go to any of the Honda's distributors. Try it yourself!
