KUALA LUMPUR: Boon Siew Honda has announced a replacement to the seven years old renowned Honda Wave Dash 110. The ageing model has been renamed as the Honda Dash 125 and features everything that one would expect from such an underbone. The Dash 125 has received significant updates in terms of its performance as well as design.

The new Dash 125 has an underbone chassis frame, conventional telescopic front suspension, and twin shock absorber at the rear which are adjustable for preload. The new model comes with a hydraulic disc brake up the front and disk or drum brake at the rear depending on the model. The Honda Dash 125 weighs only 103 kgs, which is an impressive number.
