Honda's legendary flagship, the Honda Dream, has released its latest version in 2019, equipped with a more powerful 125cc engine compared to its predecessors.
Aside from the engine, what other distinctions does the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle offer compared to its older versions? Let's explore and compare these two models with Mytour.
1. Comparison of the design between the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle and the older version
In terms of overall appearance, the 2019 Honda motorcycle retains the design framework that Honda has utilized since 1997, resembling the Honda Dream motorcycles of 2015 and 2016. However, upon closer inspection, there are some design differences.
Firstly, the dimensions of the 2019 Honda Dream (696mm x 1915mm x 1052mm) differ from those of the previous generation Honda Dream (702mm x 1867mm x 1049mm), resulting in the overall sleeker yet taller and longer profile of the new Honda Dream.
Furthermore, there are several distinctions in the details such as:
– Headlight Cluster
While the headlight cluster of previous versions of the Honda Dream, including models up to 2016, featured separate headlights and turn signals, the newly introduced Honda Dream 125 integrates the headlight and turn signals into a seamless unit.
– Instrument Cluster Structure
Although still retaining an analog gauge mechanism, the structure of components on the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle differs entirely from the previous generation.
– The decals on the bike have undergone significant changes compared to previous versions of the Honda Dream.
– Although the fenders bear a resemblance, there's a clear difference in the inner cut between these two versions.
Overall, with what it brings to the table, the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle boasts a much more modern appeal compared to its predecessors.
2. Comparison of the engine of the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle and the Honda Dream 2015
Alongside some design variations, the engine stands out as a prominent factor in the newly introduced 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle. Specifically:
While the pre-2015 Honda Dream models were equipped with a 110cc engine, delivering a maximum power of 7.6 horsepower at 7,500 revolutions per minute and a torque of 8.3 Nm at 3,500 revolutions per minute, the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle features a 125cc engine, offering 10 horsepower with a maximum torque of 9.3 Nm.
Clearly, with a completely new engine, the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle is much more powerful in both power output and torque, providing superior acceleration and carrying capacity.
3. Comparison of price and other features on the 2019 Honda Dream 125 motorcycle and the older generation
With the new engine, fuel consumption on the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle is undoubtedly different from the older generation. However, with a similar engine design, the 2019 Honda Dream is still one of the fuel-efficient motorcycles on the market today.
The price difference is stark between the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle and the 2015 Honda Dream and its predecessors. Specifically, although not yet available in Vietnam, the price of the 2019 Honda Dream motorcycle has reached $2000 in the Cambodian market, and upon import to Vietnam, its price tag approaches that of the Honda SH – a domestically produced luxury scooter.
Meanwhile, the price of the 2015 Honda Dream motorcycle is only 18.7 million dong – positioning it as an affordable commuter motorcycle.
In conclusion: The newly introduced 2019 Honda Dream 125 motorcycle offers users a more powerful, modern machine with changes that enhance the riding experience. However, the price is significantly higher compared to the previous generation Honda Dream 2015.
