2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[fast_ferocious]

^ With Fi , i guess it would cost as much as a 150 or even more!

When you see the difference b/w shine and stunner its 3-4 K

So if we assume the diff between Unicorn and CBF150, it may be around 5K albeit more for the FI, so we can expect it just below the 70 K mark. And at that price it will be a steal.

well, honda will be coming with a 150 cc in the next 2~3 mnths and the info is pakka,as one of the heigher officials said yesterday...

he called it the "150cc fi stunner"...

Yups this is the most concrete news of this thread...............

After all its a Honda....

[viv.nomad]

duh!.. and i thought he was pointing toward CBR150R in leymans terms..

[outworldly maniac]

@viv.nomad: The alphabet-train suffixes are patented by Bajaj man. Im sure Honda will 'play safe' with the naming as well and hence no such luck !

good sense of humour

2 Strokes are banned from production!

[niks_devil666]

^ not banned but they won't be registered by the RTO's because of emissions norms.

[insanebiker]

^ What difference does that make bro?

EDIT : These lines were not made by me

The RX100 was, and continues to be an iconic brand among bikers. However, the company had to discontinue the product after the government banned production and sales of two-stroke motorcycles.

if two strokes could be made to meet the emission norms
we could get it here
come on man,,,,,, there are two strokes being manufactured in abroad,,,,

infact i remember hearing in ENGINEHACKER's that there are mods after which two strokes are even less polluting than four

[insanebiker]

^ Yes, exactly. That s my point. They are banned in India cos of the pollution norms.

BTW which part of the world are u talking about?

thats utter bullshit, 4 stroke engine burns fuel more efficiently leaving less residue and using catalytic converter it breaks down sulphurless fuel better (unleaded) high sulphur can cause acid rains. 2 stroke engine does not burn fuel completely, also they use leaded fuel.

as far as india is concerned production was stopped due to pollution concern but you can still buy second hand 2 stroke products.

If u remove catalytic converter from your bike u will notice a rise in performance but then cops will catch you for pollution.
