Honda S Wing.

[davidw]

My local Honda dealer announced today that the 125 S wing is being phased out soon.He said Honda was bringing in 100 machines, then it was being withdrawn.Get your orders in now .

That will be a shame, I enjoyed my one.

Same here, i,ve had 3 of them,they are touching £4000 now .

Wonder if there will be a replacement 125 GT scooter from Honda?

Very Odd...first the SH300, now the S-wing. And the S-wing has sold loads, though its looking rather pricey now. Perhaps something made in Thailand is to take its place, or they think the PCX will do the job.

Honda's could be saving money by shutting down the more expensive European factories, I brought a Deauville which was made in Europe and my S-Wing 125 was built in Italy.
The build quality of some of the stuff out from the Indian factory is not enhancing their reputation.

Thats a shame , I was hoping for a 2014 one , i picked up my first scoot in November..a 2008 S-Wing, and i love this bike....so much i am thinking of getting a silver wing 600 as my next bike

I don't know if there's a connection, but the media is full of stories of 'upgrades' to the PCX125, which seem to boil down to LED lights and a clock!
Perhaps they feel the PCX will fill the S-wing's role, especially as the S-wing is looking pricey.
After all, if you want a 125, you can always buy a Chinese one for £1500, which of course won't be anywhere near as good as an S-wing, but its a helluva lot cheaper....

mr grumpy the 125 chinese ones are £699 on the road ... ok if you want one for a year then sell on for £400 but having done that before on a 2011 new chinese scoot i dont think i would ever do it again

Well then...you could buy a new Chinese scoot every year for 4 years and it'd still cost you less than an S-wing (or thereabouts). Though I guess it depends on whether the Chinese ones will last through their guarantee period! There again, the local workshop I go to has started selling Baotian scoots and I don't think he'd want the hassle if they were complete rubbish.
