Contrary to the common perception of lightweight and affordable scooters, manufacturers are keen on catering to the affluent with compact yet premium features. These motorcycles not only embody elegance but also come with a hefty price tag.
Let's spotlight the most expensive automatic motorcycles currently available in the Vietnamese market.
1. Honda Super Cub C125
Priced at 84,990,000 VND, the Super Cub C125 surpasses even the SH125 in terms of cost, making it the most expensive factory-distributed automatic motorcycle in Vietnam.
Retaining the distinctive design of Honda's legendary line, the Super Cub C125 offers users a compact vehicle for easy urban strolls and daily commuting. Crafted with chrome details, the motorcycle boasts a truly quality exterior, contributing to its hefty price tag.
Diverging from analog gauges found in other motorcycles, the Super Cub C125 features a combination of analog and LCD gauges, along with an entirely LED lighting system. Additionally, it employs a fully functional Smart Key, similar to the SH series, providing modernity and effective anti-theft features for users.
Honda equips the Super Cub C125 with a single-cylinder 125cc engine, SOHC type, PGM-FI fuel injection, delivering a maximum power of 6.79 kW and a torque of 9.98Nm, all while ensuring outstanding fuel efficiency.
2. Honda Dream Imported from Cambodia
Despite being discontinued in the Vietnamese market, the Honda Dream continues production in Cambodia to serve its local residents. Priced at 2000 USD in Cambodia, the cost might be higher in Vietnam due to taxes and transportation fees. Notably, the Beyond Luxury version recently introduced by Honda Cambodia comes with a price tag of 2100 USD.
Boasting a sleek and elegant design, the Honda Dream imported from Cambodia exhibits excellent overall quality, especially in metal details, paintwork, and impressive decals. This model is equipped with a 124.85cc single-cylinder engine, air-cooled, powered by a 4-speed manual transmission, with 17-inch spoked wheels and drum brakes.
3. Honda Wave 125i Imported from Thailand
While officially known as the Honda Future 125i in the Vietnamese market, the Thai-imported Wave still captures the attention of many users for its renowned Thai craftsmanship, praised for durability and top-notch quality.
The price tag for an undocumented Wave 125i from Thailand reaches 62 million VND for spoked wheels and goes up to 65 million VND for alloy wheels. This model stands out for its sporty and elegant design, along with a unique color palette that sets it apart from domestically sold models.
Imported from Thailand, the Wave 125i is equipped with a 125cc engine, electronic fuel injection PGM-Fi, generating a maximum power of 9.5 horsepower at 7500 rpm and a torque of approximately 10.6 Nm at 5500 rpm. The motorcycle is driven by a 4-speed manual transmission.
Many may wonder why one would invest such a sum in these motorcycles instead of opting for a luxurious scooter or an upscale scooter like the SH series. In reality, those who purchase these bikes are often well-off individuals who already own cars. These bikes are primarily acquired for casual activities such as coffee outings or leisurely street rides. The value lies not only in the high-end features but also in the nostalgic sentiment they bring to the users.
