Argentina’s motorcycle market continues its sharp expansion, driven by high demand for entry-level commuters as official data shows over 511.986 units registered through July 2026. The Honda Wave 110S reclaimed the top sales spot with 8,300 monthly patentamientos, holding steady alongside updated factory pricing for August.

The Argentine motorcycle market is going through a moment of strong growth. During July, 71,217 motor vehicles were registered, 3.4% more than in June and 30.4% above the same month in 2025. In the first seven months of this year, 511,986 units were registered, representing a year-on-year increase of 41.9%, according to the motor vehicle division of the Association of Dealers of the Argentine Republic (ACARA).
The car and motorcycle markets in Argentina are experiencing completely different realities, and July was the period where this disparity was most evident, according to the latest report from the Association of Dealers of the Argentine Republic (ACARA). Thus, while sales of 0Km cars registered a decrease of 12.8% in the accumulated total of the first seven months, which translates into a year-on-year drop of 30.3%, the motorcycle market experienced a year-on-year increase of 31.2% and 41.9% in the accumulated total of the first seven months. In addition to the exponential growth, where low-displacement motorcycles were the main driver, the leaderboard of the best-selling models shifted, and the Honda Wave 110 cc, the CUB motorcycle that for several months had lost its place as the best-selling motorcycle in Argentina, recovered it last month.
Honda Wave 110S
The Honda Wave 110S began August as the best-selling motorcycle in Argentina and arrives this month with new suggested prices. The model is marketed in two configurations, differentiated mainly by the braking system, with a gap of almost $600,000 between them.
During July, 8,300 units were registered, equivalent to 11.7% of the total market. Its leadership is also reflected in the 2026 accumulated total. During the first seven months of the year, 50,695 units of the model were registered, with a 9.9% share of the motor vehicle market. The Honda Wave from Honda has already sold more than 50 thousand units so far this year.

:quality(75):max_bytes(102400)/assets.iprofesional.com/assets/jpg/2026/05/616216_landscape.jpg "Photo: iprofesional.com")
- Honda Wave 110S with drum brake: $3,426,900
- Honda Wave 110S with disc brake: $4,020,800
The values reported by the Japanese brand are valid between August 1st and 31st and do not include freight, insurance, or registration and, as these are suggested prices for the official dealer network, the final amount of the operation may vary depending on the dealer and the expenses associated with the operation.
The main distinction between the Wave 110S variants is in the braking system. The entry-level version uses a front drum brake, while the more expensive alternative incorporates a front disc brake. That difference explains a good part of the price gap between both configurations, although both share the essence of the Wave: a low-displacement urban motorcycle oriented toward daily commutes.
The Honda Wave 110S is one of the preferred motorcycles for daily use due to its practicality, fuel economy, and ease of driving. Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight, it is a comfortable alternative for moving around the city, both for those seeking their first motorcycle and for experienced users. Among its main advantages are the agility to circulate in streets with heavy traffic and the ease of maneuvering and parking in reduced spaces, qualities highly valued in urban environments.
In the mechanical section, it is equipped with a 109 cc single-cylinder engine, air-cooled, which offers a balance between performance and low consumption. Additionally, it incorporates a four-speed transmission, designed to provide simple and comfortable driving.
The Keller KN110-8 and the Gilera Smash completed the podium. The Wave 110S returned to be the best-selling of the month in July and stretched its lead in the first place of the annual ranking. Behind the Honda were four other models.
