Honda Bite is a naked scooter equipped with a liquid-cooled 4-stroke 50cc engine that has excellent environmental performance such as low fuel consumption, clean exhaust gas and quietness, and a slim and unique styling scooter. It was released on Thursday, January 31 2002.
As the third model of the N Project*, this Bite was developed with the image of a scene where young people casually gather in the city and communicate. In addition to its slim and unique styling, it features a new adjustable seat that allows the seat height to be adjusted in seven steps without tools to suit the physique of the rider and the mood of the day. It is a model that has been realized.
In addition, the clean water-cooled 4-stroke engine installed in the Crea Scoopy, which has excellent environmental performance, and the front part of the aluminum module frame are adopted. As a theft deterrent system, the shutter function of the main switch section and pre-wiring for easy installation of the immobilizer alarm system, which is an option at dealers, provide a high degree of security.
*N Project is an abbreviation for NEW Project, which develops attractive products that suit the lifestyles of young people, and is a development team made up of young researchers.
1st model: Honda Ape released in February 2001, 2nd model: Honda Zoomer released in June 2001.
