In Vietnam, motorcycles have long been an integral part of people’s lives, and manual transmission bikes remain a top choice with a strong history and tradition.
Their popularity stems from their practical advantages such as durability, ease of use, and maneuverability on all types of terrain. However, in Vietnam, the reasons for choosing manual transmission bikes go beyond that. Even today, many young people choose these bikes as a fashion accessory, expressing their unique personalities. As a result, not only have these bikes become deeply ingrained in the lives of Vietnamese people, but the Super Cub has also come to represent history and culture, symbolizing the success and distinct class of its owner. In contrast, the Wave Alpha is associated with the energy and vibrant spirit of youth.
Honda Vietnam (HVN) introduced the Wave Alpha Classic version in 2023, which was well-received and supported by many customers.
Building on this success, on July 11, 2024, HVN launched two new designs of the Wave Alpha Classic version and a new color for the Super Cub C125. By blending classic and modern styles, these changes offer customers a diverse and fascinating retro color collection, providing more options to express their individuality. HVN aims to foster love and pride in owning a classic manual transmission bike, honoring the historical and legendary value of this bike series while attracting new generations of enthusiasts.
