HONDA  Lead  POA Introduction Colours Specifications

Introduction Cosmopolitan styling, comfortable proportions and strong, responsive performance in a sleek and highly economical new scooter. The new 2008 Lead has it all, with easy control and riding fun to spare. Featuring a new liquid-cooled and fuel-injected engine, and a light-handling new chassis and bodywork design, the new Lead provides all the comfort and quality of Honda’s larger-displacement scooters in a low-cost 100cc-class runabout that anybody can enjoy. Over the years, scooters have come to play an important role in urban transport on the roads of Europe. They liberate young people with a smart, fast and economical way to get around town, hang out with friends or take care of the business of the day. They also provide a convenient and easily learned introduction to two-wheeled transport for novice riders. For commuters, scooters of all makes and sizes offer dependable and stylish alternatives to cars and public transportation, proving especially nimble negotiating the hustle and bustle of city traffic, and making quick trips for shopping or socialising as easy as the touch of a button and the turn of a handle. Another big attraction of compact scooters is the time saved in finding a place to park after having reached one’s destination—which can be a frustrating ordeal for those stuck behind the wheel of a car. Powered by clean, quiet and environmentally friendly 4-stroke engines, Honda’s superb line-up of scooters has grown to offer many variations on this carefree and enjoyable way to get around town. For riders young and old, or new and experienced, Honda’s scooters offer the attractions of a relatively inexpensive, easy and dependable way to get from place to place, and experience some fun while minding the business of the day. The 100cc Lead has also made its mark at the lower-displacement end of Honda’s scooter spectrum, offering ample performance and comfort for its low asking price. However, with the requirements of strict new environmental regulations and the increasing sophistication of scooter riders everywhere, the time was right for a completely new revitalisation in this small but important class of convenient transportation. A new 100cc model that brings Honda’s small-displacement scooter segment delightfully up to date. The results speak for themselves in the all-new Lead, a smart commuter and helpful family transport with a sporty urban flavour, the latest in performance, handling and braking technologies, and the most enjoyable mix of comfort, convenience and economy on two wheels. back to top Colours - Black - Cosmic Silver Metallic - Pearl Silky White - Candy Lucid Red back to top Technical Specifications   Engine       Type   Liquid-cooled 4-stroke 2-valve SOHC single           Displacement   108cm3           Bore x Stroke   50 x 55mm           Compression Ratio   11: 1           Max.
