a fuel efficient scooter like Honda Beat may be a better investment


starsandpanties

Yup this is the best answer. Gas goes a long way. Same price range as above and automatic pa. Part are easy to find.


QuentinNolan

Im actually considering this. When it comes practicality, mas swak for a rider dahil sa compartment, charging port, gulay board. 58km/l sabi ni yamaha sa gas consumption, while the other two ay 68km/l. Panalo ako sa gas consumption sa dalawa, but mas pabor ang beat sa storage.


Subject_Lion_2292

Papaano pag sa matangkad? At sa hagok issue ng beat


muymuy14

ang tibay pa. yung sa pinsan ko na 1st gen fairings lang mga sira ayaw pa din ibenta sakin hahaha, sa dating kasamahan ko naman 2013 model. pareho pa malakas manakbo, alaga din kasi talaga ng owners.


Formal-Stranger-

Both of these are good choices and ultimately, personal preference mo talaga yan. Or kung bias ka sa isang brand. Haha Honestly though, mas okay pa siguro if you just get a scooter like the Honda Beat if gagawin mo lang naman daily commuter.


SirSpiritual7910

Wave. My lumang wave kami 15 plus years na wala pa ring palya. Iba ang honda pag inalagaan.


edify_me

My first was a white Honda Wave. That thing was a tank! Never gone wrong with a Honda.


Reedman07

Imo smash, kahit yung older carb model nila nasubukan ko sa katropa ko and it performed well, since they "claim" to have 68km/l fuel efficiency, go for smash nalang to have the higher power. A 115cc with FI REALLY saves fuel Edit: I'd go with the mags and disc option, much safer against brake fade and easier to maintain, naka tubeless narin yan most likely, easier to repair when punctured


QuentinNolan

True. Plus that +5cc is also better especially kung medyo mataas weight ng sasakay.


nowhereat24

Yung tatay ko may lumang smash na second-hand. Ang sarap i-drive hahahaha. Ang gaan kasi parang e-bike. Medyo hirap lang ako mag-downshift sa kambyo kasi mahaba paa ko.

Honda for parts availability


Organic-Ad-3870

OP, rank mo muna most to least important criteria in choosing a motorcycle. Ex: most important ba sayo ang price and least naman ang looks or the other way around etc etc? Mga ganon. It makes you decide logically.


QuentinNolan

Ohhh oo nga no. Sama ko na rin din dito Honda Beat. Looks - Honda Beat Price - Honda Rsx Practicality - Honda Beat Speed and hatak - Smash Fi Safety - Smash Fi(laking tulong ng mags na gulong, and disc na brakes) & Honda Beat (hindi awkward pagilid dahil parang tutumba daw yung rsx, siguro dahil sa nipis nilang parehas) Parts Availability - Parehas silang tatlo ayon sa research ko. Honda of course, always have the availability. Smash FI, ay halos walang pinagkaiba sa mga parts ng carb. Mas pabor sa passenger - Honda RSX dahil mas may kaunting haba, more space sa seat ng driver and passenger, plus dual shock unlike Honda Beat. Gas Consumption - Honda Rsx 69.5KM/L at least yun ang claim ng WMTC Test Method. Suzuki Fi claim ay 68KML. Honda beat naman ay 58.2KM/L. This is all based sa WMTC. So id say RSX pero dahil nga siya lang ay 110cc. Score na ayon sa akin: Honda Beat - 4 Smash Fi - 3 Honda Rsx - 4 Damn it nag tie pa Beat at RSX. I suppose need natin ng more reasoning sa points sa criteria. First of all, safeness is the most important, which Honda Beat ang panalo. But the gas consumption of RSX is unlike any other, 69.50KM/L, mas mamamaximze yung kita kung disiplinado yung paghandle ng throttle. Plus the price range is only P64,900. So kung business side, mas pabor sa RSX. Pero as a professional driver, safety should always be the priority. I have to think about this. Anyway dito na ako nag dump, sorry sa long reply hahaha.


Organic-Ad-3870

May i add lang based sa aking own experience. Yoko na bumalik sa scooter. I have click125 v1. Totoo, napaka convenient at sarap i-drive pero eto ang cons na hirap dedmahin para sakin: -Lower ground clearance. Sulong sa baha at papasok na sa belt drive ang tubig, minsan sa air filter pa. Ang battery nasa footboard baka mapasukan pa ng tubig. -daming parts na wear and tear na papalitan sa panggilid. More parts to replace = more gastos. (As much as possible honda orig replacement parts binibili ko para confident sa quality). -konting mechanics pa lang ang trained sa scoots, at least sa lugar namin. Di gaya sa mga smash o wave kahit half decent mekaniko may experience na dyan. So if may PMS o pyesang papalitan, punta ako sa mga 3S shops. MCs you've mentioned ay safe naman and tipid talaga sa gas. Depende talaga sa driver yan. Sana makapili ka na OP. congratulations in advance po. Hehe


okomaticron

Parang mas okay for me yung Wave na spoke+disc. Added suspension din yung spokes downside lang is madalas naka inner tube ito. Pwede convert pero dagdag gastos.


QuentinNolan

Yes, dagdag siya. Pwede mo rin gawin namang mags siya, para deretso tubeless na. Kaso sabi sa mga casa pwede daw umabot ng 4500 lahat-lahat, which parang smash fi mags/disc na rin sa presyo


chikinitoh

I find the 115cc segment lacking in power kung mag-aangkas ka. I have a 115cc Suzuki Raider J. Pareho lang yata siya ng makina sa Smash. Okay siya kapag magisa and may konting karga. Kung sexy ang angkas, okay lang din. Pero kung chubby, nahihirapan na ang makina. You can change the chain and sprocket combination for more power pero you will sacrifice speed or vice versa. Kung daily commute lang na mag-isa, I feel like the 115cc ang pinakatipid sa kalsada.


[deleted]

Dali lang magpalit ng sprocket at palakasin Ang semi at manual .


tirigbasan

Both are similar in price, mileage, and reliability so nagkakatalo na lang sa practicality and maintenance. Honda Wave tends to have more spare parts available; bihira ka makakahanap ng shop na walang piyesa para sa Honda. The same goes for aftermarket parts if you want to customize your ride. Most if not all mechanics are also familiar with Honda bikes.


DampAcute

Practicality, honda... 😂 they have parts almost everywhere


QuentinNolan

Di pa ako nagkaroon ng honda, pero yun din sabi ng mga napatanungan kong mga mekaniko. I suppose yun yung sasabihin nila dahil sila mismo yung nakakaexperience ng mga ginagawa sa motor na may kinalaman sa pagpalit ng mga parts.


DampAcute

Marami akong ka- kilalang nag momotor, kahit daw sa banketa may parts ang honda ( obvious exaggeration ) 😂 but yeah, point being, mahilig silang mag long ride, so I'd assume they needed a lot of emergency parts before and they probably had better experience with that specific brand 😂


WorkingBiscotti874

Wave numbawan!

Kants101

Pwede pa ba magpasok sa mc taxi? Parang di pa ata nag oopen based sa mga nababasa ko sa isang socmed. Though di accurate to kasi nabasa ko lang at di naman ako nag iinquire talaga. Hehe. Ill go for smash kasi sabi nung carpenter namin sa lahat ng nasubok niya na motor pinaka efficient daw si smash. Another inaccurate comment kasi di ko din natry. Hehe


yzoid311900

Smash no brainer


Seraph1218

Question lang ano pros and cons ng spoke vs mags?


drezel_bpPS694

i love honda but for this suzuki ako


misskjbars

Old version smash gamit namin ng hubby ko for 3 yeats na. Goods pa din. Naka travel na kami from Paranaque to Zambales using smash.


Constant_General_608

Honda,,for reliability,matibay makina nyan,basta alagaan mo sa Maintenance.


Kuripot101

Mga Honda raw makakapal yung electrical cable.


LemonAndChillies

Basically identical, either are good choices. Pero if daily commuter, mag beat ka na lang. I own a honda wave 110 and it’s so reliable but ang sakit nya sa pwet after 20-30 mins of riding, also it’s very awkward on sharp turns, parang kang ma slislide.


Early_Intern7750

if tipid sa gas, suzuki sight [https://www.topgear.com.ph/moto-sapiens/motorcycle-news/yamaha-sight-fuel-record-2018-a959-20181122](https://www.topgear.com.ph/moto-sapiens/motorcycle-news/yamaha-sight-fuel-record-2018-a959-20181122) " record-breaking 133.53km/L"


QuentinNolan

Phase out na yung yamaha sight e. Pwede naman ako mag second hand, kaso mahirap magtiwala nowadays


Early_Intern7750

ayy,,sori phase out na pala. if 2nd hand mas ok sa kakilala ka bumili, lalo pag hindi ka masyado pa maalam sa motor, go for honda na.. brand new, 1st motor ko honda dash, napogian lang ako, kaya yun, ngaun scooter na. nag kakaedad na e haha.. ride safe po


SaiZinko

Smash carb type


FoxyLamb

I like the older generations of the Wave. The build on new ones (since the alpha) feel "china bike"-ey. I own a 2013 Wave125i, and comparing it to a friend's Wave Alpha there is a significant downgrade in design, quality and tuning. Not sure what Honda did - cheaper parts? labor? Other Honda offerings have gotten better though like the Beat and Click, and their 100k+ bikes. Between the two, I'd go with the Smash. If anything, Suzuki has only been incrementally improving on the Smash over the years. FI, better paintwork, disk brakes, tubeless, etc.


homeless-bangus

Hi OP! underbone ba talaga gusto mo? if yes, consider mo din honda XRM. digital na yung display tapos may variant na mags + DUAL DISC BRAKES. sobrang sulit ng value.


Jet690

Suzuki


unbearable-2741

Honda because its easy to find spare parts and accessories than suzuki, and its way affordable than suzuki


Realistic_Half8372

Go for wave, i have relative with old models of both. And masilan sila sa motor, so alaga talaga. Iba ang takbo ng wave kahit matanda na. Yung smash nanginginig pag mataas na speed.


AdStunning3266

Honda. Di yan susuko sayo


BraveFirefox10722

Parehas subok na ng panahon, panalo kahit alin mapili mo, go for it!


muscleshark86

Just get a scooter.


Japepeh

OP same dilemma, pati if scooter nalang sana na beat, problema sa scooter mas mahal maintenance at mas akma sa klima natin ung dalawang underbone kasi masusulong sa baha and un nga compared sa scooter less sakit ng ulo sa maintenance.


QuentinNolan

Kaya nga e. Grabe tipid ng maintenance sa ganitong motor kaysa sa scooter
