The 'Honda Wing World', located in the Naraina Industrial Area, in New Delhi is one of the two exclusive showrooms that Honda has opened in INDIA for the sales & service of their premium motorcycles, namely:
1. Honda CBR 1000RR
2. Honda CB 1000R
Two members from xBhp, namely me and Kamal (xBhp ID: Koolscorptheking) were lucky enough to visit the showroom yesterday to cover it through photographs. We also managed to have a brief conversation with the staff present there, who were really cordial and very co-operative during this whole one hour (or so) shoot of the showroom.
Apart from the hospitality of the staff, and the people present there, what struck me the most was the fact that Honda is actually providing 'Rider Training Program' to all it's customers who have, till date, bought their superbikes. During this training program, not only the riders are provided practical biking exercises, on no less than Honda CB400, they are also equipped with theoretical classes on how to ride specifically on Indian conditions.
After a rider completes this training, he/ she is awarded with a certificate, from Honda too! Kudos to Honda for doing so much to promote safety. We also had a detailed look on both the machines and the safety standards provided on the machines were phenomenal too!
The bikes come equipped with Honda's security system - H.I.S.S. It was also interesting to know that the 1000RR has a electronic steering damper. I am not sure how it actually works, or how functional a electronic damper is, but from what I was told, it sounded pretty confidence inspiring nonetheless. Needless to say, the 1000RR also comes fully equipped with a Combined ABS (C-ABS) system, whereby it really helps during panic breaking situations. The front and rear shocks of the 1000RR are adjustable for preload, compression and rebound
As far as the CB goes, it comes with it's own sweet list of features too. It comes fitted with a two piston caliper REAR brake (which is really not seen too often in these big bikes), and a 4-piston caliper brake upfront. The beauty of the CB1000R cannot be defined in words. One has to see it to believe how gorgeous the machine looks. Right from the headlight to the instrumentation console, the beautifully sculpted gas tank to the single sided swingarm(!!), the gorgeous 4-spoke cast aluminum wheels to the LED tail lights - everything exudes pure passion and beauty of the machine.
Here are a few excerpts off the CB1000R's brochure, which I found interesting:
"The aggressive, edgy, yet perfectly composed CB1000R's predatory profile surfs the cut and thrust of city streets with unbelievable cool, and tears up the twisty terrain for the seer thrill of it."
"Smooth power delivery as well as on tap thrills when you feel like caling upon them."
