Honda Wave 100
Honda's affordable Thai Wave 100 paired a 97.1 cc four-stroke single with four foot-selected gears and an automatic clutch, but its 2004 suffix determines whether details such as front disc and electric start apply.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
Honda says the Wave 100 launched in Thailand in 2002 as a lower-priced companion to the Wave 110 during intense competition from low-cost copy bikes, and became an explosive hit. By March 2004 Thai Honda had produced ten million motorcycles and completed its domestic move to four-stroke production. This profile preserves the NF100 family identity while bounding technical data to a documented Wave 100S-type setup.
Look a little closer.
Its easy clutch did not remove the gears—the rider still chose all four with a foot pedal.

An underbone is not quite a scooter
The Wave's leg shields look scooter-like, but a chain and four-ratio gearbox still drive the rear wheel. The automatic clutch removes the hand lever, not the gears. Large 17-inch wheels also roll into road holes at a gentler angle than many small scooter wheels.

Wave 100 is a family name. Front disc, electric starter and other equipment can change with suffix and market. A Thai 2004 brochure or manual suffix table is still needed before presenting every 100S detail as universal.
