If you want a Honda semi-automatic with more presence than a Wave Alpha, the choice narrows to the Blade and the Future 125 FI. One is a styled 110, the other a practical 125. Honda Vietnam’s published specifications (retrieved 23 September 2026) make the comparison straightforward.
Engines
The Future’s 124.9 cc engine produces 6.83 kW at 7,500 rpm and 10.2 Nm at 5,500 rpm - against the Blade’s 6.18 kW and 8.65 Nm from 109.1 cc. In a city of stop-light drags and loaded ramps, the Future’s torque advantage is the difference you feel every day, especially with a pillion.
Economy
Future: 1.47 L/100 km, 4.6-litre tank. Blade: 1.85 L/100 km, 3.7-litre tank. The Future goes further on less - manufacturer figures, with real-world results varying with conditions.
Dimensions and versions
Future 125: 1,931 mm long, 1,258 mm wheelbase, 756 mm seat, 104 kg. Blade: 1,920 mm, 1,217 mm wheelbase, 769 mm seat, 98-99 kg depending on version. The Blade Sport version adds alloy wheels and a front disc; Honda does not itemise Future versions on the retrieved page.
Prices
Blade: 21,943,637 VND. Future: from 30,622,909 VND across three versions. Neither is a price-published rental class here - contact us to confirm current availability. Tall riders and two-up commuters should take the Future; style-focused riders who mostly stay inside the city can happily stay with the Blade.
