The Honda Click (also known as the Honda Vario in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam) is a series of scooters produced by Honda Motor Company for Southeast Asian markets since 2006. The Click is intended to anticipate the increasing population of scooters circulating in the Indonesian motorcycle market.[2] The Vario has appeared in various variants with engine capacities ranging from 108.0 cc (6.59 cu in) to 157.0 cc (9.58 cu in).

Since its introduction in 2006, the scooter quickly gained popularity due to its fuel efficient engine and comfortable riding experience.

It is designed to cater to urban commuters seeking a convenient and cost-effective means of transportation. It is highly popular in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand and Indonesia.

The first Click/Vario 110 was released in 2006, introduced to counter the popular Yamaha Mio. It is powered by a 108 single cylinder water cooled engine with a carburetor. In Vietnam, this model has a different end with a big single headlight. In July 2008, a new version was released in Thailand with an updated appearance and the implementation of the Programmable Fuel Injection (PGM-Fi) technology and marketed as Click-i.[3]

In September 2009, this model was launched in Indonesia as the Vario Techno, positioned as an upmarket version of the standard Vario 110, with the old carbureted engine. In 2012, the Click-i/Techno model were discontinued and were replaced by the Click 125i. The standard model continued to be available in Indonesia until 2014.

In March 2014, the second generation of Vario 110 was launched as the Vario Fi. Unlike the older models, this generation has no Click version and is exclusively available for the Indonesian market. It received an all new 108 cc PGM-Fi fuel injected single cylinder air cooled engine, the only model with such configuration, shared with the smaller Honda BeAT.

In September 2015, an updated version with eSP (enhanced Smart Power) technology was launched. The scooter was available until 2019, when the smaller BeAT took over the 110 cc class market.
