    Can I ask Mr Mitsuharu Funase: Yamahai has just launched their latest Ego, with new engine, etc. Will you counter that with a new Beat (wi new engine, not just upgrade)? I’ll buy your next new scooter from a Honda special store (forgot the name), where I won’t be cheated.

    I bought a 2017 CB650F (bought new). Since new already had a problem and complaint to Boon Siew Penang (during warranty period). Now I had a problem with ECU, and very sad because Honda after sales service don’t know what to do after replacing (bought from Honda) ECU. Very poor technical support and should I buy a new bike just because of ECU issue?
