2013 · Scooter
The 2013 Honda Faze, a stylish and practical offering in the maxi-scooter segment, continued Honda's legacy of reliable and user-friendly two-wheelers. Positioned as a mid-range commuter with a touch of sophistication, the Faze built upon Honda's well-regarded scooter lineage, aiming to capture riders seeking comfort and convenience. In its market, the Faze found itself in direct competition with models like the Yamaha XMAX 250 and Suzuki Burgman 200, each vying for a share of the urban and suburban commuting market.
At the heart of the 2013 Faze was its MF11E engine, a single-cylinder unit displacing 248.00 ccm (15.13 cubic inches). This powerplant generated a respectable 22.80 HP (16.6 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing ample thrust for city traffic and comfortable cruising. Torque figures stood at 23.00 Nm (2.3 kgf-m or 17.0 ft.lbs) arriving at a lower 6000 RPM, contributing to responsive acceleration from a standstill. The Faze tipped the scales at 180.0 kg (396.8 pounds) and featured a 12.00-litre (3.17 gallons) fuel tank, offering a practical range for daily use without frequent stops. As a scooter, its automatic transmission made for an effortless riding experience.
Riding the Faze was characterized by its comfortable and accessible nature. The seat, set at a low 755 mm (29.7 inches) (if adjustable, this would be the lowest setting), allowed for easy flat-footing for most riders, instilling confidence at stops. Its maxi-scooter design provided a relaxed, upright stance with ample legroom, shielding the rider from wind and road debris. The suspension, typical for the scooter category, was tuned for a plush ride, absorbing urban imperfections effectively, making it a pleasant companion for daily commutes and extended city rides.
The 2013 Honda Faze was primarily aimed at urban commuters and those seeking a practical, comfortable, and low-maintenance mode of transport. Its user-friendly controls, generous under-seat storage, and smooth power delivery made it an attractive option for riders prioritizing convenience and ease of use over outright sportiness. For riders navigating congested streets or embarking on suburban journeys, the Faze presented a well-rounded and dependable solution within the scooter segment.
