There are also four colour options for the new BeAT – Vivacity Red, Force Silver Metallic, Pearl Nightfall Blue and Space Magenta Metallic and the BeAT is available immediately at Boon Siew Honda dealer showrooms.
The BeAT’s engine is Euro 4 compliant,

Both electrical and kick-start is provided

in a 4.2-litre tank, up from the previous 4.0-litres and undersea storage has
been increased to 11.7-litres, an increase of 0.5-litres.
Aside from the increase in fuel and
storage capacity, weight for the BeAT has been reduced by 4 kg to 90 kg with
seat height set at 742 mm. Other new items are LED headlights, speedometer
design, redesigned side mirrors, wheels, and seat opener.
The front end is propped up by a
telescopic fork, while the back is suspended with an integrated swingarm
suspension unit with non-adjustable single shock absorber. Braking is with a
single hydraulic disc on the front wheel, while a leading-shoe drum brake is
installed on the rear wheel, controlled by Honda’s combined braking system.
