Any chance to identify the brand? 🤣

    Workhorse. Looks to me like a clone of a Honda Wave 125.

    I guess it’s “built” to haul some really heavy loads. Is it me or is one rear shock bent?

      I would agree with that, SE Asia has so many Chinese wave Colones that it is not uncommon for people to come moto tour and just buy a wave for the trip. There is the most interesting market of used waves just running tours around

        Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the “premium”.

        Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.

    The custom bike scene in SE Asia is really worth checking out. The ingenuity makes me feel even more of a dumbass than I already am. Loads of fun. I’ve had some great times chatting about bikes when I’ve been over there.
