Overview

Introducing the 2011 Honda Faze Type-S, a remarkable entry into the scooter category that perfectly blends style, practicality, and performance. Designed primarily for the Japanese market, this scooter stands out with its modern aesthetics and functional design, making it a popular choice among urban commuters and enthusiasts alike. With a lightweight frame and a comfortable riding position, the Faze Type-S is not just about getting from point A to B; it’s about enjoying every journey along the way. At the heart of the Faze Type-S is a potent single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 248.00 ccm. This engine produces an impressive 22.8 horsepower at 7,500 RPM and delivers 23 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM, providing a zippy and responsive ride that’s perfect for navigating city streets or tackling winding roads. The liquid-cooled design ensures optimal performance under various conditions, while the automatic gearbox simplifies the riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead. Fuel efficiency is another strong suit, with the Faze Type-S achieving an astonishing 2.33 liters per 100 km—equivalent to around 100.95 miles per gallon—making it an economical choice for daily commuting. The Faze Type-S boasts a well-engineered chassis and suspension setup that enhances both comfort and handling. With a telescopic fork at the front and a swing-type unit at the rear, this scooter delivers a smooth ride over various terrains. The single disc brakes at both ends provide reliable stopping power, ensuring rider confidence in diverse conditions. Its dimensions—185 kg (407.9 lbs) in weight and a seat height of 755 mm (29.7 inches)—make it accessible for a broad range of riders, while the generous fuel capacity of 12 liters (3.17 gallons) means less time at the pump and more time on the road. Available in a sleek graphite and white color scheme, the Faze Type-S is as stylish as it is functional. **
