but nonetheless its better than sticking with the age old 102cc motor and it looks unique...n will stay unique...

now its a better buying proposition than the activa in all way...and btw i am confused whether the new dio has tubeless tyres at front and rear or at the back only...?( as my 1st gen dio had only tuff up option at the back only...)

To add to the confusion, This Dio has MRF Zappers up front, and TVS Tyre at the back, so you may be true here.

Jokes apart, since the text says "Tubeless TyreS" so we can assume both are tubeless. Its rare that one is tubed and the other is not.

@ About CBS: Guys, you can adjust its level OR plainly disable it... Choice is always a good thing.
CBS's the same as saree guard in a way: All critisize it but you can remove it easily so what's the problem?

Saw the new 2012 Dio (Green and Purple),and it looks hot.The 3D logo looks awesome, legroom has improved and so has the pillion footpeg.

Looking at the body panels one can certainly see that they are inspired by the 250R/150R's

I miss my old Dio

all confusions cleared... its confirmed by the specs shown in the honda site that the new dio has front and back tubeless tyres. the new dio page has come in the honda site.

My 2004 Dio has done 50000 kms till now. Still runs so smooth!!

Just put Castrol Power One in it. She deserves it.

Might go for this Dio also.

Im still attached to my Dio which i had to sell for the CBR

I bought her home in 2006 and she lasted a good 5 years and 50000kms despite being ripped around the city and highways at 80+ kmph. And still was as good as new when i sold her.
Now im regretting it.

And for some reason i am not liking this new Dio. The Old dio still looks wayy better than this one. I miss the sharp lines on the body.
