2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[ken cool]

leaded fuel?
I don't remember ever filling my rx with that.

Those days... Always! Unleaded fuel became mandatory in the country from 99 onwards only. Before that, everything was leaded!

[insanebiker]

Leaded or Unleaded , 2 Strokers put out lots of unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide which lead to higher pollution levels.

4 stroke engine is a good thing..

ask 2-stroke maniacs and people who have ridden 2 strokers......!

Nothing compares to the pleasure 2 strokers give......

and I mean nothing..............

@Insane, Mind: Which is why DI(Direct fuel Injection) two strokes are touted to be the next big thing.
THe DI strokers apparently enjoy their power-to-weight advantage as earlier and their pollution levels would supposedly meet Euro II norms easily.

The latest Autocar mentions that the Stunner will get FI'ed, will be launched in June.

Just launched. But shocking price I would say. Dunno how much extra power it makes.

Honda Motor cycles and Scooter India (HMSI) on Tuesday launched a new version of its 125 cc sports bike - CBF Stunner - priced at Rs 64,630 ex show room delhi.

The launch is part of the company's strategy to increase its sales in the Indian two-wheeler market.

"Last fiscal we sold about 10.7 lakh units of two-wheelers and this year we are targeting 12 per cent increase at 12.5 lakh units. And the CBF Stunner will play an important role," HMSI Chief Executive Officer Shinji Aoyama told reporters here.

The new bike will be equipped with PGM-FI (Programme Fuel Injection) technology, which gives more power, the company said.

It will be available in the market by the first week of June, it added.

According to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the total two-wheeler sales in the last financial year increased by 2.60 per cent at 74,37,670 units compared to 72,49,278 units in FY'08.
