Honda Astrea Prima

Image
  The Astrea Prima was the most popular underbone motorcycle of the 90s. No wonder, as this bike was fast, fuel-efficient, easy to maintain, with affordable spare parts and a high resale value. It's no surprise that the Honda Prima became a favorite among consumers during its time. What’s interesting is that the Astrea Prima was specially designed by Honda Japan for the Southeast Asian market. This explains why the bike was widely available in Thailand (as the Cub 100 EX) and Malaysia (as the Dream EX 5). The design of the Astrea Prima emphasizes comfort and functionality while still maintaining a trendy style. The Honda Astrea Prima was the first underbone Honda to feature the C-series 100 engine (H05E), with a 97cc air-cooled, 4-cycle, OHC single-cylinder engine. It could produce a maximum output of 8.9 horsepower at 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 9.3 Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine power is transferred via a 4-speed manual transmission with a rotary gear system (you can shift direc...

Honda Astrea 800

Image
      The Astrea 800 was the first to pioneer Honda's modern underbone motorcycles. It's understandable if many people aren't familiar with it, as the Honda Astrea 800 had a relatively low population in Indonesia. Its production period was also short, lasting only three years (1983-1986) before being replaced by the Astrea Star. Launched in 1983, the Honda Astrea 800 can be considered the pioneer of modern underbones, featuring several innovations that weren't available in earlier Honda underbone models. These included a key switch integrated with the handlebar lock, fuel gauge, oil indicator, electric starter, and a 12-volt CDI ignition, eliminating the need for setting the points. By the way, the engine of the Astrea 800 was incredibly smooth, even when compared to modern Honda underbones. The design was unique as well, with a relatively large body, a small windshield at the front, and square-shaped front and rear lights. The engine still relied on Honda’s C-Series, k...

No longer round like the underbones from previous years. This 4-stroke motorcycle, which was quite fast for its time, was produced from 1982 to 1986. So, what about its engine specifications?
