Honda wave

[Leo]

Anyone got one! £1800 looks cheap for a new bike

Went to look at one for a friend and it did look good. Think if i didn't have a C90 I'd get one
Guess they don't sell too well 'cos you need a 115-125cc (I think) bike to take your test on and they are only 110cc so only really any use to old duffers that have passed their test (or never want to take one) and don't want to go fast

Yep, that's why I love the Innova...

I think they sell to people with a full licence who want a new Cub type commuter bike but can't buy a new C90, fast food delivery businesses and learner taxi drivers doing the 'knowledge'. .... Not as many commuter users like that left now that our manufacturing industry has been decimated....But enough Pizza delivery companies to ensure steady demand

Our manufacturing industry has been decimated.......
thank whatsit we still have the other 90% decimate = 1 in 10.
Decimated a word that is always missused.

Oh Dear, I am a old duffer though I don't really know what that is supposed to mean. The Honda Wave has been redesigned by a person who drive's cars. No enclosed chain and the front of the bike open to road muck, etc. ...i,e. none of the Innova enclosure or for that matter the Vox like I own. You pay your money and you get a bike that may be nice in the Far East but not in wet and mucky England....

My dictionary defines decimate as "destroy or kill a large proportion of"

[wightegi]

Latin.... the roman legions if missbehaveing were decimated 1 in 10 was killed
Hence decimate the legion.

Just goes to show meanings change over the years and as this is 2014 most people will use "decimate" to mean "destroy or kill a large proportion of" and not follow the meaning as used hundreds of years ago by a now dead language.
