AndyAndyAndy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Is there any popular bike (like Wave, Smash etc.), that is 125cc, has fully manual transmission (with manual clutch you have to hold while shifting) and electric start? What brands models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Stallion and GPX have real manual bikes around this engine size , 125 , 150 , 200 and 250. Lifan also has some 200cc bikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 A company called Ryuka may also have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Honda CT125 - But no clutch. gets good reviews. Honda Grom everything but a bit small maybe. Edited January 23, 2021 by VocalNeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Benelli TNT 135 is a manual clutch , but not a full size ( wave) bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Afaik it's possible to convert a Hond Wave to manual clutch, if this would be an option. If 150 cc is an option: Yamaha Exciter 150 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I forgot about the Yamaha Exciter. Yamaha quality, fantastic bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyAndyAndy Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) I want to buy trashed bike out of Facebook marketplace/Kaidee and put this engine on another/custom frame. For this reason I'm looking for something very popular, easily available here in Thailand. I did something similar month or two ago. I had small 49c pitbike frame. Bought Suzuki Smash (manual, 110cc) from Facebook (non running) for 2500 Baht. Made the engine run with 800 Baht. And put it on that small pitbike. Tons of fun. Still loving every ride. Now I'm thinking about another build. And this time I would like 125cc or higher + manual + electric start. And I'm trying to figure out where to get it, from which bike.

It's a great bike. Small, powerful, perfect for roads with bad traffic. And it's fun to ride, just like a real bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Isn't the Honda Smash 125 a manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyAndyAndy Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hard to find any of the mentioned bikes. But I found some engines out of Honda MSX 125. Which looks like what I'm looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 All Honda Cub based engines can be converted to manual clutch. So any Wave 125 engine would fit the bill. Plus lots of big valve heads and cams and stuff. Crashed Honda MSX would fit the bill. I think there was a Honda NSR 125 type bike in Thailand. Manual and 2-stroke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Better stay away from mud with the fender that close to the tire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'd consider a Grom/MSX125. A lot of people think they are miniature bikes but actually they are virtually identical seat heights to the Sonic, Wave, Raider etc. Grom 761mm Sonic 762mm Raider 764mm Wave 765mm There are a few variants available for 2021. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
