Honda Wave Dash 110 Review
"The most sensible used commuter money can buy, full stop."
Used Buyer Review
The Wave Dash 110 is Honda's bread-and-butter commuter, and honestly, it earns that reputation. The 110cc single is virtually indestructible if maintained — these things will crack 100,000km without breaking a sweat provided someone kept up with oil changes. What you're buying is dependability, not excitement. Fuel economy sits around 55-65km/L in real-world use, which is genuinely impressive and the main reason people keep coming back to this platform. Buying used, check the chain and sprockets first — budget owners neglect these constantly. The front drum brake is adequate for city speeds but inspires zero confidence in the wet. Avoid anything with a patchy service history or obvious crash damage around the lower fairing; repairs look cheap but add up. Carburetor models pre-2015 occasionally gum up from sitting, so budget for a clean if it hasn't run recently. Overall build quality punches above its price class.
