Honda Zoomer X 110 PGM FI

Honda Zoomer X 110.
A very rugged bike. Specification looks great. 110 cc PGM FI. Up side down fork. 3 pots disc brakes. The list goes on. Rented 1 for 2 days in Aonang, Krabi. As it's not the peak season, manage to negotiate from 300 down to 250 Baths.
I went to the gasoline station at Aonang but missed it due to development. Had to turn back & fort to locate it. Not used to filling point at the floor board. It's kind of awkward.


The Zoomer was a great bike. Did  number of trips from Aonang to Krabi. Handling was easy. Bike was smooth & gentle. Race the throttle and the bike pick up speed with an urgency but no jerks. The CVT transmission is perfectly matched to the engine. The front & rear brakes are good and gives a confident feel. Does a great job stopping from 90 km/h. Do not need much orientation for this bike. Vibration was minimal at 90 km/h. It's a great bike. Seat were wider and have more support even for longer trips. My wife even gave a thumbs up riding pillion for this bike. It's definitely a fun bike, which makes me relook into scooter. Was all in on the styling & concept. It's a beauty from any angle.

The only set back was that with 2 up, the rear suspension bottoms up and gave a bump sound.


Will definitely check this out if it's launched in Malaysia.
Other interesting bikes in Krabi.
