[ketan_r15]

Wow.. m a huge fan Honda and it's smooth engines..
Overall the bike looks hot.. Specially the sporty rear end..
Finally something excting from Honda..

By the way..are those clip on handle bars? (this may sound silly..but couldn't hold myself from asking...)

[spiderweb]

may be the "B"part will cheeer you up...
from a distance it may look like a stunner,but let us keep our fingers crossed....

Bro you made the mess of a pic jk
anyways I noticed all those things you pointed, But tell me would you really like a Pulsar 240 with a few bhp xtra on the same looking thing, even 220 owners will get furious about their exclusivity. Just like i'll never like a same looking ZMA 230/240/250...
So same goes for Honda bikes as well, tired of seeing same looking brothers n sisters...

yeah,sure...
not only u and me,but every one would appeciate the new bike with more power and atleast a 200cc engine...(i'll be the first one to buy in hyd if some thing like that would come)
but as far as the info i got,it will be a 150cc engine with serious competition to fz-16 and the rtr-fi(r-15 is out of question)...
atleast it is another sticker job like most of it's competitors...

launch date of this bike bro,cannot be said so early as the honda's keep real good secrecy of such things.... but can be expected in less than 3 months...

Where are the MONOSHOCKS? . I thought Honda was famous for this lil bit of technology. The pictures clearly show twin shocks.

Hey Bro, Not you, It'll be me, the first one to get it in Hyderabad!!


Hope, it launches ASAP

Hey Bro, Not you, It'll be me, the first one to get it in Hyderabad!!

Why're you guys fighting-let it get launched first!

Its not easy to have new design for every kind of a motorcycle model that a company comes out.....its not just in india...its like this everywhere else.

Infact some companies are too arrogant to change the designs, like MV Agusta, their sportbike line up is almost identical except the sticker jobs (anyone)....now it doesn't mean that I won't like new designs....anyways, we don't know right now what Honda has got for us, so let's relax and wait rather than writing down our expectations according to the motorcycle in the pic!!!

Honda hasn't confirmed anything regarding the design yet so it would be unwise to comment on it now! Rest assured, whatever it may be, we can always expect one of the most practical and functionally perfect Honda motorcycle

cbr-150


now why cant hmsi bring out something like this?
Below is the cbf150 sold in international markets

[raghavishere]

what is the source of these rumours / news of new honda 150 launch?

[sai_ace]

The launch date for the new activa was finalised to be the 26th this month...
as discussed earlier there are many cosmetic changes apart from the tec upgradation...
this info was given by the workshop manager of somajiguda himself later today...


also said that the cbf150 is also gaining momentum and can be expected sooner than expected...
specs vere said vagely,but it seems that we can expect a dual disc(one in front and one in the back),fuel injection(was put up earlier),very sporty faring and design(just like the stunner)....
this new bike would be more sport oriented and would be stunner of the unicorn... one can expect some thing very close to the concept shown in the motor shows earlier this financial year....





the cbf 150 concepr showcased in the motor show






the styling may not be so sexy as it has to be made for regular road use,
but can be expected very close to the above one's(with a head light,of course)

this concept was showed at the auto expo 08. in fact both the pics were taken at expo. the first one has its background 'whited'.it is based on the cbf stunner. Its just a showcase model which shows what honda can do if it wants to. the engine is a 125. Its even got brembo up front!

This is not a 150. And when it was shown at the expo - it was actually described as being based on the shine. THAT was a damp squib!

Twister is a Honda 250cc product.Unicorn may get the body but not the heart.The conclusion arises from the above discussions.
Yamaha wud bring in their new YZFR4 250 model here in face of competition for Ninja 250.Yamaha is well aware of the choices of the Indian consumer by now and wont bring a humble Fazer 250cc here.

They already have it in India since about 6 years....

[pulsar_flame]

i hope yamaha suprise us.... actually i was suprised when r15 was launched by yamaha because it was the only bike with all good techs we can get in our country ! so this time yamaha should bring a bigger r15 with all other extra goodies and it will be the one best beast machine in our country...
