Hi,

I bought it off Facebook as a "HONDA".

A Google search yielded no importer or dealer. Two questions:

Q1: Does anyone know the brand or this particular scooter? It聽 has a carburetor, WH-125 2T, automatic.

Q2: How come that HONDA gets put on motorcycles not made by HONDA?

This is Asia, they do what they want.

I bought a pair of swimming shorts today with the brand name Speedo, I can assure you they are not Speedo,but the brand name being used by some dodgy VN company.

I've been trying to buy a genuine portable loudspeaker but they're almost impossible to find - fake ones are easy because the locals tend to go with cheap rather than real, so stocking fake makes money.
There's a better than average chance the motorbike is a result of the same local trait, that also explaining the carb being set at crazy low revs.
Hi, and welcome to Asia

The carb has been adjusted and it's a changed engine. No more sputtering & stalling. Now I need parts. Found DAELIM's overseas office and hope that they will sell me and ship the parts to Thanh Hoa City.

We have almost every bank in town, if they don't take credit cards.
