I'm left with mixed feelings & not sure where this is leading!!!
Pros
- Good for HH & can give a VERY SERIOUS competition to the monopoly Avenger, especially at this time when Hero & Honda has said Bye
Cons
- When both Hero & Honda has parted ways, why's Honda sharing the engine with Hero group? Does this mean, that, the parting ways are simply an eye wash?

This is my take. With this so called new product, they might be able to generate more volumes and bring down the prices, but I highly doubt Honda giving Hero a brand new engine. The possibility I would say is less than 1%

Makes a damn good business deal for Honda. Honda havent sold a motorcycle in India on their own which has been a runaway success and being a conservative Japanese organization, they are bound to be skeptical of the CBR's success. This way, they ensure there is a steady source of revenue coming in + bringing down costs, etc...tear the map and shoot the signComment

How about a cruiser with the good old ZMA/ZMR engine? Seems a bit more likely.200 | 300 | 1200 BOXERComment

Even i think ZMA's engine can be brought in the cruiser form as it's seems feasible both from engineering as well as business point of view.Comment

I have not read anywhere that Honda will stop giving technology after the contract ends in 2014. I have read that there will be a new agreement with new terms.
It is very possible that Honda might give 250cc engine to Hero Honda. A cruiser and a sports bike are not competitors. I am really hoping for the 250cc cruiser. Its a great move if HH does this.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

as far as i know..honda will continue delivering hero technological help until 2014.Soham.Comment

will it be a twin or a single?? or a chassis design using the zma engine?? Knowing HH, they might do the latter, and then spend extensively on marketing it and putting jazzy stickers on it..
