Don't dismiss it as "just a scooter" — Southeast Asian gridlock and light-to-light dashes are, in a way, more brutal than a race track. Lightness and response are what matter there. This 160cc class is the sweet spot for feeling great riding through the city.

Fuel economy directly becoming the selling point is exactly the kind of pitch you'd expect in the Southeast Asian market.

The Vario series has bumped up displacement to get here, you can really feel how far it's come from the original.

They've launched it right into the class that directly competes with Yamaha's NMAX and Aerox.

46.7km/L from 160cc is more than enough fuel economy for anyone mainly commuting.
