Boon Siew Honda recently unveiled what it calls “Malaysia’s first long-distance moped bike”, the Honda Future. According to Boon Siew, their new kapcai is capable of traveling a maximum distance of 338 km on one full tank of petrol (5.6 litres) in the ECE40 Mode, which is best in class, and 100 km more than what the Wave 125 X Ultimo can do.
The Future is powered by a new 125 cc air-cooled engine. The four-stroke SOHC unit has 7.6% better fuel economy compared to the Wave 125, it is claimed. The Future’s rated 60.3 km/l is a 0.5 km/l improvement over the older bike. Quite substantial.

Other key features include the 19-litre U Box that can fit a full-face helmet, a side battery casing for easy access, push-seat function and automatic key lock shutters. The Future also comes with rear LED lights, a blue-lit speedometer and a fog light.
In line with its role as a “long-distance moped” the Future has a wider seat, and the clear distinction between rider and pillion translates to better long distance comfort. A molded front design that eliminates the use of screws reduces vibration and sounds from the front cover.
Three variants are available. Variant 1 features an electric starter, spoke wheels and front disc brakes, Variant 2 gets sports wheels, electric starter and front disc brakes, while Variant 3 combines the electric starter, sporty wheels and front/rear disc brakes. Choose from Coral Orange Metallic, Pearl Magellanic Black and Euphoria Red Metallic.
Priced from RM5,578 to RM5,998, Boon Siew expects the Future to be as popular as the amazingly evergreen EX-5
Better looking “models” appreciated!
Wow! More choices for Badut Jalanan for street race , weely & weekang before we die.
U sounds rude. Pampered child aren’t you?
people who ride bike also got cars la like you..
but they usually ride bikes to avoid jams..
dont think because u drive your car, you’re better than motorcycle riders.. at least when they ride their bike,they reduce traffic jams..
tak payah nak poyo sangat
for me naik motor x salah pun.. sometimes people ada alsan tersendiri la bro..
No offence to those riding with good manner and follow traffic rules. Siapa mkn cili dia rasa pedas! Are you one of those Badut Jalanan aka Samseng Jalanan aka Mat Rempit?
Kawan, drive your car safely before blame Motorcyclist, dont always potong queue, drive to emergency lane during jam time… We ride dangerous, we just danger our life, but you drive dangerous, you danger others life!!!
we die??..bro, you da one who gonna die first for not using seat belt..gong xi fa chai..
Earth Dreams Technology trickling down into their moped range huh? Very impressive FC figures indeed. Now we wait for their new Earth Dreams car engine range to reach our shores, based on the first 1.6L IDTEC released in Europe, it’s a proper cracker with amazing FC too. Sad we can’t see that till our diesel gets to euro 4 at least.
I still prefer my ducati monster.
i prefer my Lambo over your ducati anytime. please compare apple to apple.. stfu..!
poyo…..
“The Future’s FC rated 60.3 km/l”. your stupid ducati FC how much?
Impressive FC…..
Nice. all the 3 variants have electric starter. Should have a version that don’t have the electric starter, I still prefer the old school, kickstarter. some more, it saves approx. RM300 without the electric starter.
not to bash honda, but i think the designers can come out with a better looking bike.. like how the yamaha LC135 looks like..
totally agree with you. wonder why their cub bikes are designed without any imagination at all but with stylo names. the modenas ace 115 looks fantastic compared to this with its mono-shock rear suspension and stylish design.
Do yr homework 1st. Honda do hv a model that can compete with Yamaha’s LC, its called Dash. even though its cc is slightly lower than LC, but is sporty as LC.
This Future is to compete with the likes of Yamaha’s Legenda. They are to cater to more mature & senior buyers.
You know, as in Vios vs City & Camry vs Accord.
Yeah, Dash without mono. Triple ace 2 modeRnas.
actually i have done my homework cos i’m bike hunting now. spec wise, it is sad what honda offers but i really want to get a honda because of the ‘brand’. problem is, their spec is so low and is easily overshadowed by all the other brands except maybe suzuki. i do agree with you that honda bikes are perhaps more suitable for more ‘mature’ folks.
Negative
1. Old design
2. Overprice
3. I don’t like their futuristic name (Old design after all)
4. engine capacity not match with the price!
On the positive note? I ain’t find this bike worth for me to buy.. Sorry Honda.. I don’t like to make comparable hence this topic is all about Honda Future..
your positive note isn’t positive at all. and “make comparable hence..”? nice note you got there.
Anyway..
1. If it ain’t broken why fix it.
2. No one forces you to buy.
3. Heck they can name it anything.
4. Refer no. 2.
this bike is useful for :
1) save money
2) long distance travel, and good for short distance..
3) not purpose for lumba lah..
4) have a space to store helmet and less carrying helmet
so far is good for economical and saving your money..
Danny,
This kapcai still using carburetor? or fitted with fuel injection?
for the price tag without monoshock? huh!!
no image shot from behind?? i wanna see the rear LED light
if only this country public transport is world class like Taiwan or japan or usa or Korea then this country wouldn’t need motorbikes,,,as a car driver,I find motorbikes to be pest (road pest),,,Korea n Taiwan which was slow growing behind us in 1997 today have went forward n ahead from us despite not having natural resources to back their economy,,,their handwork n determination to succeed n very minimal corruption practice have make them to be more successful n more people orientated than us,,,,today Korean cars are thousand times better than proton. how could they do it with out natural resources such as petroleum,gas,palm oil,timber,rubber,tin mining n many more,,,,if only We have a well spread n organized n efficient public transport then We wouldnt need motorbikes (kapcai),,,the death occured by motorbikes could be drastically reduced n mat rempits n snatch thefts could be stopped once n for all. this is a rich country but due to poor distribution of wealth n corruption,,,We still see the need of motorbikes. poor planning if townships n cities also leads to this. n now crime rate is increasing with attacks in mall car park n isolated places like what happen in publika car park earlier this week n so on,,,I witnessed a snatch theft two weeks ago when an old lady was walking out of kopitiam n two guys on motorbike sneak out on her n drag her with her handbag n until she let go n they left with her handbag,,,this thing never came out in the papers,,,it’s is a shame a rich country like this,it’s citizen feel like they are living in third world environment,,,first world infrastructure,third world mentality n quality.
bro dkt korean pn byk moped ar… & it same like malaysia… jumlah kemalangan motosikal juga tinggi di sana… penah jer masuk dalam astro nat geo (channel 553) criter tentang penunggang motorsikal di sana… And They Eco Supported by US… kroni US ma…
Woww..So interesting..Big fuel tank, big storage box, front & rear disc brake system, sport rim…But the design so sad just like old Honda Wave 125… It should be like current Honda Wave Dash… Sure I will let go my 135lc!
A must have on a moped:
1. Fuel injection
2. Monoshock rear suspension
3. Nice design
4. Rear disk
5. 6 ltr fuel tank
7. 19 ltr underneath storage
8. Alarm??
9. Some more.. hmm power of dreamin.. :))
i really hope boon siew could introduce the fuel injection version like thailand. they have a moped with fuel injection for quite some time now. don’t let yamaha forever alone…lol
i rather buy Modenas GT128 or Yamaha 135LC than this bike,Modenas GT128 is cheaper and has larger capacity engine (130cc),while Yamaha 135LC has liquid cooled engine that is suitable for long distance journey.
RM5K+ Just for a kupchai…Soooo expensive
yaa..so expensive,,,ok, let start to blame our NAP… ermm,,blame proton also can lahh…
How much cheaper u want?
i’m sorry for you…
Modern kapcai for modern uncle.
Any chances to have it in hybrid?
fog lamps on a kapchai? are you sure Danny?
what is the purpose for? it is never safe for a kapchai rider to ride through thick fog that such equipment brings no purpose.
i heavily doubt it is fog lamp but rather just a position lamp that first started in Honda C90 of early 80s, then later Honda EX-5 and now almost all kapchais including Yamaha LC135.
I’m not too sure myself (missed the launch) but Boon Siew’s press release called it that
in other country..this bike might only cost at below rm1k. Can we get cheaper bike prices? And implement speed limit for bike in town..more bike..less jam..hehe..
6 ribu untuk celaka ni……Pakatan Rakyat tak ada penyelesaian khas untuk pak rempit ke? Celaka betul, macam basikal tapi 6 ribu.
definitely out of topic, but if i had to ride a bike, make it a Kawasaki er-6n! fuyoh!
the design is not that good looking..
Better i go for GT128 because GT also a touring bike by the name GT (Grand Touring).. I think the fuel consumption is more better than this bike… And the bike is so expensive.. Another the meter panel is not much as GT128 that have trip meters, eo changing indicator, rpm meter… Honda want to duplicate the GT128 but it can’t… Go Modenas, Modenas more better than Honda… Go travel for long distance is much better with the GT!
Since when Honda try to duplicate Modenas? Dont talk like a shit if u dont have the evidence.
Aku dah bca suma komen kat sini, lbh banyak komen yg merosakkn drpd mbina.
1. So expensive- Go buy urself bicycle then
2. Old skool design- Why don’t u build ur own design then?
3.Tak suka jenama mtosikal ni–aiyoo..you prefer what? honda skywalker?
4.LC,Gt128 is so much better- Each bike have their own advantage n disadvantage
5.Honda future bkn dreka utk brlumba- I think mat rempit should buy the 2stroke machine( if u rich la)
6. Just like what mr Shurako said earlier- honda xpnah duplicate Modenas punya teknologi..so? Dont talk like badass before you feel like dumbAss
each bikes have their own pros & cons, though i’m not a fans of Honda, but i have to agree that Honda has made a good work with these new models with new approach by making a three variants in one model, the fuel tank also slightly bigger than the Modenas CT110 (i have Modenas CT110) which has 5.3 litres tank, so i must say this one can travel slight further, and the design was not too ridiculous, it’s fundamental and that’s what the Honda was always was…
But still i prefer my Modenas CT110 over this one…
im not sure whether i want to buy it now
what kind of model in thailand which have a fuel injection engine?
All honda motocycles in thailand use injection refer thai honda webpages…
Honda should bring in the Thai CBR 150R 2012 and price it below RM 10K.
This bike top speed is 100KM/hr and not good for highway travelling.
i ride this bike to taiping with rm7 for fuel. go and back. and still left at half at the fuel gauge. btw, this bike isnt 100 km/h topspeed. i ride it with spocket 14/34 i can go for 120-130 km/h at top speed.
why cut power honda future. .cc 125 but can go 100km/h . .what are motherfuck
Congrats to BSH. I Suggest BSH should now bringing in more impressive moped. As there is a lot of demand for it. I am a HONDA lover. Especially cars. But When it comes to moped, still i need to turn to HLY. So BSH, you know what to do.
should have power/eco switch, dont need to change d cdi every week.
I think it a good step for malaysia to accept this kind of technology…actually malaysia motorcycle trending is a way back compared to our neighbour like indonesia and thailand…but i prefer this kind of motorcycle nowadays..this comfort,easy to ride and fuel saving to go to work everyday…zaman sekarang zaman kena saving manyak2….it better if this future using fuel injection…lagi masyukkkk…
Aku dah pakai 120 hari termasuk arini…milliage now 4882…so far so good,,,,aku Ada 5 sbb utama kenapa aku beli motor ni,,,
1)cup moped yg pertama yg boleh simpan helmet bwah seat,best
2)seat lebar,selesa duduk bro!
3)tangki besar dan Jimat minyak,,gak perlu kerap sinngah stesyen minyak
4)rekabentuk menawan Dan modern

P/s…..alah membeli menang memakai,,,peribahasa melayu —
Aku pakai 6bulan dh honda wave future 125 ni..meter top speed dy boleh pgi 130…kalo lu org xtaw top speed dy blh pgi berapa jgn sembang cdi itu la,cut out la…amende..nk jd pak kencing…piiiraahhh..jom long distance..bwk motor korang yg berlagak kutuk wave future main long distance dr j.b smpai perlis..ad berani…kawasan yg ak dh jelajah:cameron highland-segamat,cameron highland-danok(thailand),cameron highland-perlis,cameron highland-kota bharu….ok je..nothing problem with that bike…so don,t make your own conclusion…..chiilll
wave senang setting….standart 130-135km/j bley lari btol??tp meter mcm berat nk nek.tp da laju nie.knp ea mter ea mcm uh?aku just polish tengkok sma head.x da korek2 un…just main jet lbey sket gne 78 ke 80..tkr plug hi tmperature.pilot stndart.sudah bley capai 144 gtu….i like wave
sy pakai honda future baru sebulan ,tapi selepas abis pantang kelajuan motor boleh naik 95kmh je pulas minyak habis..ada bro2 boleh tlg mca mane boleh kasi laju ceket dapat 120 pun kira ok la,hari2 lalu h,way takkan nak bawak 90 kmh je.sy memang kecewa dengan honda beli mahal tpi kualiti hancur…
I think better get Suzuki Shogun Axelo, spec same as top spec Future (front/rear disc), price cheaper by RM800 (RM52** only).. Suzuki is “cold” bike not like 135LC… Though aftersales and FC Honda might be better….
