Honda Vision 110, the ideal motorcycle for these times
Honda launches the Vision 110 for those who need a motorcycle for everyday use.
At Honda they have realized the state of the world today and have decided there is a market for a motorcycle that is the three G’s: good, good-looking and above all cheap.
This is how the Honda Vision was born, a scooter with no other pretension than being an efficient motorcycle. Its consumption is around 2 liters per 100 kilometers, which in turn makes it one of the most ecological motorcycles, and its 8.4 horsepower is enough to move the 102 kilograms with a full tank of fuel, to which the weight of the rider must be added.
It is not a motorcycle for racing through the city, nor is it good for riding on highways, although obviously it is permitted. It is essentially a motorcycle for total urban use: comfortable, ergonomic, agile and useful.
It has the engine of the Lead 110, 108cc, with fuel injection, but on this model the liquid cooling has been replaced by a fan that performs the function with the air flowing through it. This forced the engineers at Honda to lower the compression, so the engine loses some development.
Very important is the CBS braking system or combined braking system, already fitted on the PCX 125, with which even inexperienced hands will manage to ride with total ease. The front brake is a disc while the rear is a drum; it is the only weak point that those who have tested it have pointed out.
As for storage space under the seat, it has enough room to fit gloves and an integral helmet, somewhat limited but sufficient. It also has two small glove compartments under the handlebar, without lids, which are very useful for carrying small items.
Its price is 1,999 euros and it now also comes with free insurance for one year.
