The Honda Wave earned a significant reputation in several Asian countries, especially in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and in Thailand, where young people and adults alike own such vehicles. A reason for the Wave's popularity is because that the motorcycles can be easily customized, and parts and drivetrain upgrades are readily available. Sadly, the said bikes were also the cause of several traffic deaths, mostly due to reckless riders, underground drag races, and Mat Rempit street races which has been a serious problem among the police.

Design rights issues

The National Bureau of Investigation in the Philippines has recently seized several motorcycles that were very similar or otherwise almost identical to the original Waves, from an establishment in Quezon City. The investigation disclosed that based on the case filed by Honda Motors, Philippines, the company's Philippine subsidiary, several establishments were engaged in the sale, manufacture, importation and distribution of Honda Wave clones. Honda alleged that it owns and controls allied intellectual motorcycle models in Wave 110S, Wave 125S, and Dream Excess in the Philippines and in several other countries, all registered in the Bureau of Patent.

Surveillance conducted confirmed the report that several distributors and manufacturers had been doing business using models very similar to Honda models with the markings "WAAEI 110", "LIFAN LFG 110-7A", "Dream Excess" and "LF100-5LIFAN", and under the trade names Lifan, Skygo, Euro Motor, Jianshe, Loncin, and many others. Ironically, Lifan once launched a television commercial, seeming to give the impression that their motorcycles were as good as Japanese, European and American bikes, not noting that they were also notorious for copying other manufacturer's vehicles. It is no surprise that some Chinese firms were notorious for imitating other manufacturers' products, even though they face penalties for this kind of violation. There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...
