Re: Wave 110i thoughts
A friend and I did the Dragon in tents way back in 1963? Might be a year out there but it was at Gwrych Castle. So what, you say? We were both on our Honda 50s! Ah the madness of youth.

Hi Steve, The Peugeot Vox 110 is very similar to the Honda Wave and that has a fully enclosed drive chain - looked a pics but unable to distinguish if the swinging arm has the support lug you need.

Re: Wave 110i thoughts
Second puncture yesterday. First one was with a knackered tyre but this one today was with a new Heidenau K36. Don't think Heidenau are a bad make but you do get what you pay for !! At £26 a tyre, what do you expect ??
Grippy but fragile so will be changing it for something more substantial before the Dragon. Will work fine on the front later.
Plus side is that the wheel and then tyre are easy to replace/repair by the roadside. Little things like the wheel comes out without having to tip the bike for clearance. May a sound small thing but when there is only one of you and the bike is loaded it's a pretty big deal.
Lack of chain guard has it's benefits as the wheel is not QR like the Cub !

I liked my Innova a lot, and I bet that Wave is pretty good too.

Re: Wave 110i thoughts
So is a Townmate a better design, I keep hanging on to my one, love the shaft drive, big tank, 4 gears.
I did bid on an a 2011 Innova last week, it went for silly money, it was a catC damaged bike, so when repaired would never sell easily.

Re: Wave 110i thoughts
My round trip Chatham to Rykers is about 100 miles, last last fill up was 20 miles before that. The Townmate needed £4.40, so whatever it does I can afford it.
It has got me thinking that the Forza 125, is all I need in the future.

Re: Wave 110i thoughts
Best bike for me to take to Scotland is probably the CBF600 carb model, less to go wrong, no fuel pump, no ECU, no injectors, not many sensors, no immobilizer, no tilt switch.
It also does not have the Dreaded F1 light which will light up, just as you think the bike running well, no fault can be found, it just lights up when it fancies it. Last time I nursed the Deauville back because of that fault stored error light glowing.
I looked at the parts required for the Wave's Cam bearing failure, they expect you to fork out for a new complete cam+bearing part, Hopefully you can press or heat off the old one.
