Market and trim notes
This sheet covers the Honda Vario 160 as listed in the Indonesian distributor’s current catalogue. Market-specific equipment can differ from the same nameplate in another country, so the figures are not interchangeable.
ABS and CBS trims have different weights and brake hardware. The figures on this page are the ones published for the Indonesian range.

What the numbers mean
The 778 mm seat is a middle-of-the-road height: most riders will get the balls of both feet down.
At CBS: 116 kg | ABS: 118 kg it is manageable at walking pace but heavy enough to notice on a slope.
The 5.5 L tank is typical for the class and enough for a week of commuting between fills. The manufacturer does not publish a consumption figure, so this page does not quote a range.
Tyres are 100/80 - 14M/C Tubeless front and 120/70 - 14M/C Tubeless rear. Check that your local shop stocks both before a long trip.

Ownership and maintenance notes
- The V-belt and rollers are the parts that change the feel of a CVT scooter. Inspect them at the interval in the owner's manual, and sooner if acceleration flattens or the engine revs without matching speed.
- Engine oil and the air filter do most of the work in keeping a small scooter consistent. Check the oil level cold, on level ground, and use the grade listed for the model.
- Air-cooled engines rely on clean fins and a clear path for air. Wash the fins gently, and do not let mud or a loose cover block them in traffic.
