hi all,

Planning to get Honda Vario 160 any issue should i be worry about long term as i plan to ride the bike to work (around 12km to work)

Thanks

it's nice, fren bought and went long distance all over semenanjung liao

Generally more than enough, good storage space, fuel saving, got the power, and easy to ride. If you're looking for a nimble ride, just get Vario 125.

thanks then i believe this is good purchased for working purposed.

I had the vario 150 and it was good enough for daily commute for work (was travelling 30 km to work one way). With the 160cc i believe it will be better.
If you are carrying a bag or some stuff, I recommend to have a top box & rack, as the underseat storage can be quite small to put in helmet & raincoat.

ok thanks for suggestion.

12km is nothing for a Vario. It's like a short trip to pasar malam.

One drawback of vario is - the under seat storage a bit small. Not all helmets can fit properly.

As for raincoat... you can always use that single use ponchos. 50 cents per use. Very small space needed. I've ditched raincoat for many years. Just carry that single use / disposable ponchos. Work as good. Arrive home... chucked it into the trash bin. No need to hang dry like a raincoat.

ok thanks

1 more question do i need buy any lock for my vario 160 since is new scare kena stolen haha.

IMHO, scooter - cold bike. Not many will want. I've been using my PCX since 2015. Never use any additional lock. Sometime, didn't even lock the handlebar. Park and leave.

Anyway, any extra lock (disc lock, etc) is an extra deterrent. Nothing much to stop a thief if they really want to steal your ride

lol ok ok thanks

Quick buy one and enjoy the ride.

Handy nimble little scooter. My brother use Vario 150 (first edition). He like it so much. Till now problem free even though it was totally submerged for 4-5 days during that famous 2021 Shah Alam flood.

wow very durable thanks.
