CB110 Givi box carrier

One problem of the CB110 is the lack of ubox. Which for me (coming from a Bravo motorcycle) is a little inconvenient.

In my Bravo, I usually have my raincoat (rain or shine, I have it in my ubox, you don't known when it will rain), my tools, my chain lock at some other small things.

Now that I have a CB110, I'm still looking for that ubox but well, its a CB not an Underbone, so definitely there won't be any ubox. I'm thinking of putting a Givi Box on my CB so that when my wife ask me to go to the grocery I won't be having a problem carrying them. But can't find any carrier for the Givi box especially for the CB110.

Well finally, Boss Baning of HFRC shared to us his own carrier (design was made by him) and with his permission I'm posting this here on my blog for your reference.

According to him, the carrier cost is Php 1,100.00.

A name for our CB110

Well, finally my wife and I came up with a name for our new CB110.

We name it, HANSEL.

Some complaints about CB Twister / CB 100

Well since I got a CB110, I tried to search the net for other owners problems with their CB110 / Twister.

Again, this are the problems other owners encountered. I will go back to this post and see if I encounter the same issue.

I bought this under the notice of Mechanics at dealer point. They assured me to get it shockup problem they have change the my bike shockup but problem is not solved, even after two services, they did not cheque it as per their commitment. I never accepted this but of services failure from a highly reputed and customer friendly company like HONDA. The fact that I‘d to complain you regarding this shows that how hurt I feel about it?

I brought a cb twister 20 days ago.Not even i had reached my home  suddenly engine went off. After repeated kicking i cannot start the vehicle. I phoned the dealer and they came told me that it had to be taken to workshop.
Poor guys after 3 hours of struggle they found out that there was a wire not soldered inside magneto coil.
After two days I went to  nearby village (40 kms away) from coimbatore in my bike. In the midst of village suddenly I found my foot was very hot. When i looked down oil was spraying from the head. Afraid and exhausted I went back to the dealer. They told me to leave the vehicle for repair. Later i was told that one Oring was not properly fitted in the head causing leak.
I ask HMSI to take care of this probs in future.

So far this are the problems that I was able to find over the net, but basing from the link, most of those complaining are Indian customers.

Feedback on my CB110

After one week of using my CB110, I guess I can now give my comment on its performance since with regards to his structure and form I can't say anything but perfect.

Just to give you an idea on the different features of a CB110, look at the picture below.

 

 Now in terms of its performance, hmmmm.....i get a nice acceleration, the handling is great, can be maneuvered  easily as if you are just riding an underbone.

So far the maximum speed that I was able to attain at the moment is around 90kph, take note, my bike is just one week old and the reading hasn't reached 100kms, so I really don't want to push my CB110 yet to its limit.

Another thing that I'm trying to feel is the common issue for other CB110 owners, some CB110 owners told us that their unit manifested the "sinok" issue everytime that they are running their unit in 4th gear. So far, I have not encountered it with my unit.

Well, nothing much to mention that definitely I can say that I'm enjoying my ride with my CB110.

Next post will be the actual computation of my CB110 fuel consumption. Hopefully, it will be near 60-70kms/liter of gasoline as what Honda advertised.

Ride safe everyone!

First Add-on to my CB110

Here's what I added to my new CB110.

Tank Pad

My New Baby

After selling my beloved Bravo I need to get a new ride.

There is a lot of new models coming out from the Big 4 Japan manufacturers but what I really wanted is something that will fit my budget, has forms and most especially a fuel efficient motorcycle (we know how much our gasoline cost nowadays).

Having those thing in mind only one thing came into the picture, the NEW HONDA CB110.

The CB110 boast the following features (taken from www.hondaph.com)


Head turning style meets sporty power!

Features:

Viscous FilterA new technology that cuts down on maintenance and give you a hassle free ride.

Tubeless Tires
For a smoother and safer ride. 

And so, I did some more research and feedback from those who already purchased the model and so far, most owners gives a good feedback.

And so...I got in touch with my dealer (Honda Admiral Motorbikes) and asked how much is the lowest downpayment and monthly of the said bike (well....I don't have any cash to purchase it in full....). Well they offered me a low downpayment of Php 3,100 and a monthly payment of the same amount and of course a rebate of 200 in case I pay it on or before the due date.

Well, I talked to my wife and given a go signal to get one (weeee.......). I then asked my dealer for the requirements to process my loan. I was sent an application form first to get the ball rolling. Then last thursday, the credit investigator assigned to my loan called up and do they usually question and answer portion. Then at around 8pm the same day I was informed by my dealer that my application had been approved (what a joy, hehehehehhe).

Friday came and got a text message from the credit company when do I want to get the motorcycle. Excitedly, I informed them that I want to get it that day and so, the person assigned to my loan inform me to prepare all the necessary documents so they can release my CB110 and was informed that I can get it at around 3-4pm.

At around 2pm yesterday, I left home and head straight to my dealer ( I live in Cavite and my dealer's place is in España). While inside the bus, there's nothing else coming in my mind except my new motorcycle.By 3pm I'm already at my dealer's place, everything had been prepared already, meaning, the motorcycle had been checked and conditioned already. Immediately I was asked to sign pertinent papers regarding my motorcycle loan, after signing, gave the initial downpayment and was given the key, helmet (cheap one) and my dealer jersey. I immediately secure the free helmet cause I brought my helmet and then wore the dealers jersey.

The motorcycle is only filled with 1 liter of gasoline (hehehehehehehe, how far can I go with that, right?) and I have to bring the motorcycle in Cavite. So....knowing that, my primary concern is to get to the nearest gasoline station but alas no gasoline station is near. Was able to have the tank filled with gasoline in Shell - Macapagal. Can't believe it right? Well, I was able to travel from Espanya to Macapagal with 1 liter of gasoline and that's what I can say fuel efficient.

Well, here's my new baby.....

In my next post, I'll be giving my personal feedback on my new baby.....
