2017 Honda Beat Fi 110 ISS V2
Nitric Orange
When scooters come to mind, motorcycle engineers always aim to balance performance and styling with low production cost. Scooters are primarily thought of as lightweight two-wheelers whose purpose is to take an individual from Point A to Point B. But competition in this segment has gone from mild to wild, forcing scooter companies to stretch out more in terms of features and design. To prevail in the market, scooter manufacturers need to cut down on production costs to have good price positioning at the same time.
Somehow, the Honda BeAT still excels in terms of fashionable design and functional features. Honda did real good in the balancing act.
From the stylish ‘V’-shaped headlight/turn-light clustering, to the informative instrument panel, it’s obvious that Honda made an extra effort to make the BeAT appear more attractive. Nothing is more fashionable than students riding on it with their backpacks, or moms taking home a basket of veggies placed on its stepboard.
The Honda BeAT’s 110cc engine is light, easy to maintain, and more important, fuel efficient. On the average, a Pinoy commuter travels at least 10 kilometers a day, mostly house-to-office and vice versa, with most of his or her time spent in heavy traffic.
During a test-ride session, the Honda BeAT posted a 62.3km/L average consumption. Its secret lies on its ISS or Idle Stop System, a fuel saving feature which was once exclusive only to high-end cars. The BeAT’s 4-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder mill is impressively quiet and has very minimal vibration. The rider can leave his or her house without being noticed.
For short distance rides, the BeAT easily gets a high mark. With a wheelbase of only 1,256mm, it can weave through traffic without so much effort from the rider. It’s very nimble when turning. Even novice riders will have fun with the BeAT while executing ‘figure 8’ maneuvers. It’s proof that it’s a perfect starter bike.
Throttle response is notable and so are the braking characteristics.
The higher variant boasts of the Combi Brake System which activates both the front and rear brakes in modulated amount whenever you press the left lever (for the rear brake). This is a real boon especially for beginners. This scooter also only weighs 90kgs which almost equivalent to that of one big adult person. With the help of the center stand, the BeAT can be moved from side to side and can be squeezed into a tight parking slot.
The Idle/Stop System and Combi Brake System for an easy-on-the-pocket ride like the Honda BeAT are enough to convince non-riders to try entering the exciting scooter world. These two technologies highlight safety and fuel efficiency. And these are two issues which now directly affect the lives of millions of Pinoy riders. One important fuel-saving tip for the BeAT: To optimize fuel mileage, make sure that the green ‘Eco’ light is kept ‘on’ as indicated by the semi-digital instrument panel whenever you’re riding.
Now let’s do simple math: Multiply 60km/L (average fuel consumption) by 4 (fuel tank capacity in liters), and the result is 240km of average mileage per full tank of fuel.
