Modifikasi Honda Vario kali ini dikirimkan oleh sesorang yang dengan nickname Kiky di forum Varioclub. Tampilan retro motor matic punya Honda ini memang menjadi lebih eye catchin. Tidak banyak perubahan yang dilakukan, bentuk dasarnya masih sama persis dengan versi aselinya. Perubahan yang dilakukan adalah penambahan windshield, box belakang, spion jok, dan velk. Ada yang minta untuk meniru? Barangkali anda punya kreasi anda sendiri, silakan kirimkan ke admin@otocontest.com, motor anda pun akan nongkrong di sini!

Yamaha Mio, Honda Vario, dan Suzuki Spin, sekilas memang memiliki teknologi yang sama. Tapi, apakah kita akan mengambil salah satunya tanpa pertimbangan. Ada baiknya kita cermati ulasan perbandingan antara ketiganya berikut ini :

1. Yamaha Mio

Bisa dibilang Mio merupakan bintangnya motor matik di Indonesia. Bagaimana tidak sejak peluncurannya hingga saat ini, penjualan Mio mampu mendongkrak share penjualan Yamaha. Kehadirannya bahkan membuat sang kakak alias Nouvo menjadi kalah populer. Lucunya, meski diperuntukkan untuk kaum hawa, Mio terbukti laris manis dibeli para pejantan tangguh. Kalau mau jujur, Mio berhasil mengedukasi pasar dan membenamkan image bahwa motor matik oke-oke saja digunakan untuk aktivitas sehari-hari.  

Kalaupun ada yang kurang dari sosok Mio adalah faktor tangki bahan bakar yang imut, sehingga membuatnya harus sering mampir ke pompa bensin. Kapasitas tangki Mio menurut buku manual ''cuma'' 3,7 liter — sama dengan bebek Honda. Masalahnya, motor matik cenderung boros karena membutuhkan putaran mesin yang cukup tinggi agar motor bisa bergerak — lebih tinggi dari motor bebek dan motor sport. Selain itu, penyakit bawaan Mio adalah bunyi tikus di sektor roda belakang.

In the previous post, we say that Suzuki Skyware is an Indonesia version of Suzuki Hayate in Thailand. Now, we will speak in Indonesia about this new Suzuki matic review. Just go on!

I reference to motor-pluss magazine about this review. Thanks to Motor Pluss.

Konsistensi Suzuki yang tidak mau sekadar ganti baju terus berlanjut. Termasuk pada jenis skubek. Lepas generasi Spin 125, Suzuki hadirkan Suzuki Skywave 125 yang jauh beda dengan skubek pendahulunya. Ini sekalas Yamaha Nouvo atau Honda Airblade.
