Me buying a spare/backup motor... probably going to use it for daily use to work, easier to cilok2 than my Kawasaki Vulcan S...

Some have rekomended scooter, but finally i think kapcai still preferable... anywhere in Sabah can repair... plus roads in Sabah nokHaroommm...

So it comes down to these two choices...

Price in KK, Sabah after survey several dealers:

- Honda Wave Alpha 110i = RM5700 OTR
- SYM Sport Rider 125i = RM5750 OTR

both new and ready stock...

Any input/views/comments/experience to share?

Note: me maybe keeping the Vulcan for now...
(posted same topic biker base - but no one there)

UPDATE (11/03/2024):

I got a 2nd-hand 2020 Honda Dash 125i for RM3000 instead... gooding... considering new will cost me RM8k +/-...
Nice backup for my other bike.

Yep... Sabah roads are terrible... I too was considering a scooter... but I reconsidered because not all places have scooter parts and can repair scooters...
Safer option is indeed a Kapcai with standard tires...

Oh... I got my 2nd-hand motorcycle from an auction actually... I bid, I won.... starting price was only RM1500 for the Dash 125i... I outbid others (my main competitors were motorcycle workshops)... so I got it for RM3000~ minor repairs cost me additional RM300... all in all I still think well worth my money~

Here is the company that auctions bike in Sabah - just look at the starting bids for motorcycle -

Just go with Honda Wave.. smaller CC does not mean much since both are still kapcai, so might as well go for Honda, easier to find parts and should be of better quality than that SYM..

Those 2 bikes are build to go 80-100kmh at best so that 15cc difference does not mean much..

Wave 125i uses same engine for Honda Future 125i.. Those should be a solid engine, so if U say U get connecting rod problem after 20k km, it may due to engine oil distribution problems.. My way of using my bikes, I always change engine oil earlier than recommended so all my bikes runs like a champ even those modified ones.. smile.gif

Max speed difference probably is little. Back to practically both is about same. Service n parts is important

but quality still to be seen... got a Sabahan Youtuber gila one ride that bike from Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu via the moon crater roads and through the Crocker range...

if you’re looking for kapcai pickup, ok la… but for your size, go for y15/16 ( but clutch la)… i find the alpha seat not comfortable…if you’re looking at clutchless, lc135 should be a better ride..(but budget higher)… else try the wave 125fi…i heard has better seat and larger fuel tank
