Hi BikerBase,

I've been surveying the market for motorcycles and I've narrowed it down to this two la. Honda Wave 125i and Lagenda 115z.

I want practicality. The only thing stopping me from getting the Honda Wave 125i is the common vibration issue that might disturb my stability when overtaking a lorry (I know, KPP01 say not to try to endanger yourself by overtaking but let it pass but sometimes this may not be realistic). I love everything else about the Honda Wave 125i like extra storage capacity, bigger fuel tank and I even love the design over the Lagenda's. I tak paham the burung hantu design of Lagenda. Lampu dia LED ke? Wave macam lagi klasik. Lagenda is another very practical bike and speed mcm lebih kurang with Wave and the handling is superb and safe (cuma takde rear brake discs like wave). But it's lagi panas than Wave so tak tenang tido.

Can someone explain to me the vibration issue? Is it a major issue for you? Is vibration issue with two brake discs > Good handling with only front brake disc or vice versa?

Sorry I've been spamming this sub. Really want to make a good decision.

If vibration is really an issue. You might want to buy a better bike.

Honestly the lower cc bike nowadays are not like the old days

I used wave125i previously. I don't see major vibration issue. Model 2019. Almost not noticeable. I change bike cause the top speed is not there. Prefer 110kmh and liquid coolant for long distance travel once a while.

Wave 125 Be ready to tighten screw every few month. Fairing, signal light break after long used. This motor bike not for full throttle. Ride 60 to 70 ok la.

Can this bike go long distance? Like Kedah to KL?

Of course can. But I only did 1 time. After that rather take bus or drive. Backside really sore from shoulder till leg.

Bro, you better test sitting on that wave 125i first before you buy because it has different body cutting. Wave 125i is a little bit 'gemuk' for a standard kapcai & the seat is quite large which can be a good thing or the opposite, depend on personal preference. I personally dislike the seat because my but keeps on sliding forward when I had the chance to test ride a future fi several years back. The overall handling has slightly different feeling because of its 'gemuk' body & large seat. Please consider this factor first because you might end up not liking the handling & sitting position on this bike. So, be sure to get a test ride first if possible to avoid disappointment later.

About the vibration issue, its a long story to tell... Long story short, the vibration does exist & you need to adapt to it because eventually the vibration will be just part of your daily riding experience and you will not bother it anymore after quite some time. If you want to know more about it and how to greatly minimize/reduce the vibration, pm me. I will explain. Too lazy to type in formal language here.

Don't have to type formal pun boleh bro. I think since the vibration issue betul2 confirmed exist then it is really a bad sign of engineering la. It's like you bayar for something yg tak sempurna. For the seat, ya I think the dimensions are way too off but mcm worth it la for the storage space. Design dia cantik la to me. I like minimalist designs. Lagenda design a bit catering to Gen Z too much when I'm like Gen Y sulung now.

If you really worry & hate this vibration issue, lagenda fi is the way to go bro. But you might lose the perks of owning a honda kapcai; unparalleled fuel efficiency (honda bikes are well known to be very fuel efficient), the cheapest maintenance cost (honda kapcais have no oil filter) & not really panas model in the eyes of motor thief (except for ex5 dream & rs/rs-x).

Btw, lagenda fi is the most fuel efficient yamaha kapcai as far as I know (dunno how the new lc fi punya fuel efficiency since it is still new in the market). Plus, it has quite spacious underseat storage, bigger than dash125, but smaller than wave 125i. So, the storage compartment is not that bad bro.

Lagenda fi also has better aerodynamic body design than wave125i or dash 125. This is proven bro since Lagenda fi still can potong dash 125/wave 125i in straight highway, despite not that far between the two.. Even in cubrpix cp125 category, the teams with lagenda fi often won most of the races than dash 125.. People even said that lagenda fi can 'cucuk' lc standard no problem. And quite a number of people said "lagenda fi mmg berhantu woo apatah lagi klau modi''

If you are the one who is "pengejar kelajuan", lagenda fi is a better choice than wave 125i/dash 125.

So TS decided yet?

seems you opening quite number of Thread here..

I've narrowed it down to either Lagenda 115z or Wave 125i for kapcai options and Ego gear if I go for a scooter.

I've surveyed 5 shops that are official distributors (kedai rasmi Honda & Yamaha) and the price is about the same. Lagenda is 6.3k to 6.5k and Wave is almost 1k more than that. Ego Gear is 6.8k. I might go with Lagenda but I live in an apartment. So takut for the safety of my vehicle.

Is your apartment a prone place for bike theft? if yes then your choice of bikes is not on the Hot list of being stolen...

I used wave 125i for a while now, sometimes 100km daily since just restarted going to office and my other ride needs some servicing.

Pros, fuel efficiency and a scooter with gears.

The cons are it is a bit slow if standard sprocket no porting (lol), and the stock side mirrors made it a bit wider than others.

Vibration i am not sure since i expect single cylinder bike to always have it. Mayb need some dampener at handle if it helps but i am no expert in this.

If you ok for slight vibration Honda Dash is really good. And i at times forget when did i fill up petrol ⛽️

so ts which bike you bought?

I bought a SM Sport in the end since my research on the bike found that all ex5 spare parts can ngam and the price point is really cheap at RM3700. Almost half the price of this two bikes but at lower cc la. Only downside is the fuel consumption. So I'm looking at a spare bike like TVS Neo X3i now.

Good bro sm sport? Huhu

Hi bro, I am looking to buy a kapcai too, may I know after all these while. How would you recommend the SM sport?

Is it good? How is the maintenance and riding handling experience. Do you think it's worth every penny or do you think it's better to fork out more money to get Yamaha Lagenda or Honda Wave 125i, thanks bro!

SM Sport suck
Do not buy
Get the new Kriss 110 if you're tight on budget, still sucky but at least you actually get a disc brake and LED DRL

Yes, budget is tight. And looking for new bike at the same time. So what choice do I have under RM4000 for a new bike.
