Default 2 New motorycles from Hero: Passon X Pro & Ignitor

Hero MotoCorp has unveiled 2 new motorycles and a new scooter today. They are being branded under the "Hero" brand, but the products are basically based on current Honda (HMSI) products.

• 110 cc Passion X Pro (seems to be based on the vertical Honda Twister engine)

• 125 cc Ignitor (seems to be based on the Honda CBF Stunner)

Passion 3X. Too much.. They had to do something in Expo.. so they came up with this weird launches. Just re-sticker Honda Stunner & launch it as a new product!!!?? Hero Motors has gone bonkers & they seriously lack some vision.

Payeng bro, maybe you put in a bit extra "passion" while writing the name. Yes, its a 110cc engine making about 8.7 PS so its probably a Twister with a plastic surgery.

Although, Ignitor looks like stunner, but I see some air vents on the fairing's side. So, its not that much of an exact copy.

I guess Honda will license every India-sold engine except Activa and Aviator, is it? Actually, they licensed almost everything in some way or the another...
