but certainly the crappy tires and the squishy suspension.
Unbelievable that Honda puts such a high price sticker on basically a souped up scoot, but fits it with crappy suspension.
Especially my 84kg can feel how bad they are.
I've replaced both front and rear on my 50cc Zoomer and never looked back.
With the suspension, tires and exhaust sorted, it should be a hoot in town.
But I'll be waitin till those things become available second hand....
It wouldn't surprise me that Japanese companies like Honda motorsports are finding it challenging to compete globally on price. So they cut where it makes business sense and leave discretionary change in the hands of the owners. They leverage the reputation of the brand in order to keep price premiums elevated, and I suppose, "proud". They are experiencing the same economical challenges as all other good quality vehicle manufacturers, maybe sans a few German makers.
