KatadataOTO – Recently, social media was abuzz with a post from one of the members of the music group Blackpink, Lisa. 

In between filming a movie in her home country, Thailand, she was seen using a motorcycle model that is widely used in Indonesia.

The motorcycle was an old Honda Beat, the first generation, also known as the carburetor Beat, because it still uses a carburetor engine.

It's an interesting sight because the motorcycle is no longer in production. The first-generation Beat with a carburetor system debuted in Indonesia in 2008.

Its presence could be said to be one of the pioneers of entry-level scooters in the country. Its size is compact, and its fuel consumption is claimed to be economical, making it suitable for daily use.

The first-generation Honda Beat was equipped with a 110 cc SOHC carburetor engine, producing 8.1 hp at 8,000 rpm while its peak torque was 8.32 Nm at 5,500 rpm.

Not long after, in 2010, PT AHM (Astra Honda Motor) added features like a variant with spoked wheels. However, in terms of the engine, there were no changes.

This old Honda Beat is still often seen on the roads, and used units are available on the market. Here is the price range for the carburetor Honda Beat.
