The motorcycle also has a Honda Protection System, composed of shutter-key (with key lock enabled additional hex combinations and magnetic) and comb-lock (locks handlebars combined with the ignition key).
What is this mumbo jumbo?

and guys, this bike maybe the need of the hour, but NOT FUTURE. It definitely would be a repeat of the Karizma Story, 5 years from now ...

Think about it, 5 years down the line we would have better bikes with more power/ technology ... Won't it become like Karizma by then (Old Slow Horse compared to competition)? Think it ...!

So guys, NOT for India is what I foresee ... Anybody disagrees? Do reply ...
I agree with you Samarth...
But if released in India, it'd surely be a good competition for Ninja and also might be a reason for YAMAHA to jump into the competition

Yes and by a fair margin.

That's not USD.Its actually 11490R$(brazilian reais) which equals to 2.55lakh in India.But its important to note here that even a 150cc in Brazil costs close to Rs1.55lakh in Indian currency.

I dint knew that Brazil is that expensive! Afterall most of the two wheelers from India or the ones sold in India are present there with very slight differences...
So that way if it gets launched in India, that'll cost anything around Rs. 1.5-2 lac.
And that will be a very fair deal coz I see loads of stuff are borrowed from other Honda bikes like ZMA, Hunk, CBZ, etc., isnt it?
Hope it gets launched to India

@Samarth: I disagree with you. I think its launch(if) in India will be Revolutionary. The same thing CBZ did 10 years back. ZMA did 7 years back & R15 did a year ago...

This could easily be a new ZMA..or Honda's local flagship. Either way this would be an AWSOME entrant to the market.
