HMSI to bring in 500cc and a 1000cc (or 100cc) motorcycles.

Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India are all set to bring in 500 cc and 100 cc bikes to the Indian two wheeler market. Speaking on this exciting prospect, Mr. Makato Yoshii, Operating Head of South and West region for Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India said ‘We will do a lot of activities on corporate identity and branding. The changes will be more visible across the dealer network,”
No details about investments have been divulged by HMSI which separated from Honda Group early this year as the company is strategically contemplating launch of new and improved models for its Indian customers. Though the company has plenty of models with varying displacement between 50cc to 1800cc range, the company finds no preference for 50cc here, and more demand for 500cc and 1000 cc bikes which they are planning for Indian two wheeler market.
Piling up of orders, the company has over 150,000 orders pending over last four months that need to be tended to immediately. The Rajasthan plant that went into prouction last month is expected to go full steam to reach maximum capacity by December this year. The company is also planning to set up third plant in Karnataka with investment of Rs. 1,300 to Rs. 1,400 crores and annual capacity of 1.2 million units.

This is a really funny article. Firstly, they should settle their supply woes then think about all this. Secondly, we know that a 100cc Honda was in pipeline. And this article has a confused focus about whether its 100cc or 1000cc.

About India not being serious about the 50cc segment, I suggest Honda thinks again. When you don't have even a single decent product in the 50cc category, why pass judgements on the same? What are your sources, professionally speaking?

If Honda is serious, I would say: just get the CBR600F here, that's it! don't screw this up. What's the Public interest for this bike you ask? Xbhp members were shouting at Honda, in the CBR 600F thread on Xbhp News Section. And don't price it above 6L OTR, and how (or what) you price it remains to be seen.

OMG... I dont care about their new launches until they sort out how to do sustainable business in India. 50cc or 500cc, every product will have a 500 days waiting period anyways. Honda Management is taking a piss on Indians. God bless those hundred fifty thousand poor souls.

Is it true Samarth? I am happy to know then. My eyes and heart are all fixed upon the CBR600F which got launched in EICMA. An ideal bike for India, i would say.

@HMSI: please get either the CBR600F or CBF600. You cant get wrong with these two bikes.


Thanks,
Abhishek M

That's business, nothing funny.

Well, don't you think the first statement & this one above are totally contradictory?

But to me, this is nothing surprising; HMSI WILL bring Fury & Stateline some day here. They're here to make money & are very serious like YMIS.

I highly doubt if they should consider new products without meeting current demands(or atleast close to meeting).

Is this news reliable? I mean the post looked like it was a 'filler'. A commuter motorcycle yes, but wasn't the other one a scooter?
