Hi Sifus,

Anyone using Honda ex5 fi for daily ride? How is the bike overall? I know the older gen carbureted ex5 bike was rock solid. I need to get one on installment basis as i am walking everywhere or taking the free bus. Unless travelling far then only take the paid bus / lrt. Have a dream of getting either a bezza / axia / saga flx before 2020 as we need a family vehicle. Until then thinking of getting a bike like the honda ex5 for daily use. So reliability is important.

Anyone can share their experience using one? I have heard using the fuel injected system can get faulty easily. How far its true I dont know. Hope someone could share. Thanks sifus.

to go around town is ok. Tried my friend ex5 on highway once and really i dont recommend u to go ride highway with ex5

Vario

What problem you heard ?

No not on highways. Just to send my kids to school and back. 2 dotters are walking to school and back and my son is sent using the free bus because its far abit. Then simple rides to markets and stuffs with wife.

Just read today that one guy had 2 problems within a year due to fuel injection.

I ride this.

Top speed not fast enough. 130kmh only.

Speed is not an issue. Reliability is what i want. Im an old fag anyways.

The EX5 main issue is the drum brake. Other issue is not a big deal.

I see. Whats the issue with the drum brakes you heard?

i’m motorbike seller.

i suggest you take top up a bit for lc135 or vario 150 (if you ok with scooter).

or lagenda 115zr fi.

my side of reasoning is honda sparepart department very messy, we ordered many items either don’t have stocks or farking ridiculously expensive.

i won’t say ex5 110 fi is bad, but you can have better choice with that amount of money.

top up a bit you get ferarri

why ride when you can drive

Although EX5 is not fast speed model but the original drum brake really suck, can't brake in expectable distance. The Honda improve the engine cc but still not improve to disk brake. Do you think there is a problem?

I see. I heard honda’s reliability is legendary. First time hearing this mess about spare parts and high prices. Whats the price of lc135 and vario 150 boss?

That’s all i can afford bro.

I use Honda vario for daily abuse to work. Good acceleration and saves fuel a lot

I recommend this scooter if ok with scooter and want brand new.

If u prefer cheaper bike, get used kapchai like LC/wave/future/lagenda or new yamaha avantiz

Sounds like there could be. Problems with brakes should be a big no no.

I use vario, minor accident twice...no parts to replace leh

Whats the price of new / used vario?

If your concern is the fuel injection, then I can confirm worry free operation. Been using for 2 years now. Parts are available everywhere, btw.
