It was 50cc moped that could give 75kmpl and had two gears If I am not wrong.
I am not sure if its on sale globally, but I think its available in South Eas Asian countries.

And Even I dont see any sense in 50cc for Indian market if Honda is looking for profits.

Correction: More about Honda Cub Honda Super Cub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cub was never in India since the last ten years. And the author made a comment about 50cc's being a failure in India which was unjustified as Cub was not here anytime recently.

Cub was a damn reliable moped. Some TV people tried to throw it from a building and only the wheels were broken. Secondly, they tried running it on vegetable oil instead of engine oil and it moved just as before. Then they tried lading it with goods. A claimed 200 kgs is what it pushed easily.

And does the 50cc Indian release have to be a moped only? Why can't it be a motorcycle capable of touching 50 kmph with vibration free engine, good gearing and torque?

@ aargee: I mean, first settle the waiting periods which might as well be done by 2011 end if they want to. Then move on to performance motorcycles...

2012, maybe you'll call me an uncle till the time hmsi brings a decent bike in markit...
to me santa doesn't exist.... (:

ha ha dude, you converted a news thread into a recommendation thread for CBR600F.

**j4zb4** · 07-20-2011, 04:05 AM

Cool...! Now we just have to wait for another 4-5 years for them to launch these bikes... yay...!!

**airbase** · 07-20-2011, 04:05 PM

Honda Middle weight

Please no twins (if Honda is thinking on this line)!! For Gods sake. We have already have multiple options for twin engines, in both sports as well as touring modes.
What we need is a inline 4 middle weight.

HMSI, please consider bringing in the CBF400 (for sub 500 category, local production/ CKD route) or CBF600/ CBR600F. It will simply eat the competition. (inline 4 middle weight is still a virgin category in India and you could take the lead).

For the price, keep it below 5 lacs for CBF600/400 and 7 lacs for CBR600F.

Thanks,
Abhishek

That wouldn't happen Samarth; I mean, even if you look at any project that you do at your regular work or anywhere (preferably keep India outside this

), there's always a group that will jump into next phases before something stabilizes with the current phase & that's how almost all successful business model works.

No business will wait for things to stabilize what they're doing, unless, they're matured (HMSI in India is yet to mature). And even if they're matured, they would have minor hickups.

Anyway, there's something I was wanting to convey here; the biggest threat is not HMSI to settle things with the present issues; to me, there's even a bigger dangerous thing waiting to happen. The chaotic, indisciplined traffic sense prevailing. Imagine, if a 600cc is available for 3-4L & within few years most people can afford for it or WILL BE made to afford (Thanks to loans!!!). That is a nightmare to me

I agree about businesses starting stuffs before completing pending ones, but that's because a company has many people. Things can run parallel to each other. And, What about those new plants that were opening?

But, if what you say is true, Honda showroom executives in 2012 will have such a conversation:

Customer: Bhaisahab, humko Activa leni hai. Bahut naam suna hai uska. Cash laye hain, scooter abhi ready chahiye...

Salesman: Arrey sir ji, Activa pe to 7 mahiney ka waiting period hai!
Aap aisa karo, CBR600F le jao. Uspar ONLY 1 month ka waiting period hai!

Ye dekhiye iska catalogue!

Customer: Hey Bhagwaan, ye Printing mistake hai kya??... ispar to Price Rs. 7 LACS likha hai...!!

Salesman (after thinking & understanding): Errr... haan Sir, aap isey printing mistake hi samajh lijiye... Koi dusri bike le lijiye, CBR600F chodiye...

Customer (slightly irritated): Arrey tumharey showroom main koi gaadi ready nahi mil sakti, bina waiting period ke??

Salesman: Sir ji, Stunner Fi ready mil jayegi... 125cc, achi mileage, zabardast power, girls ki pasand ki looks, sab kuch!

Customer (relieved): Acha, waisey daam kya hai iss "125cc bike" ka?

Salesman: Sirji, aap ke liye specially, Rs. 70,000 on road ONLY!!

(Customer faints, an ambulance is called ASAP!)

**arjunb25** · 07-21-2011, 01:32 AM

well after all what hmsi has done for us with the launch of cbr 250 we all have seen there r so many souls out there who r still waiting for there bike to come to them and above all god for bit if your bike gets hit or anything honda does not have any spares to provide to the customer at this moment. God what will happen when u book a 100cc or a 500cc or a 1000cc I think if u book then your children will surely get an opportunity to ride that.

God Have mercy on HONDA'S soul.

**aargee** · 07-21-2011, 02:08 AM

Samarth - No comments!!! It won't happen for sure. This is all I can say to cease continuing further.

Honda Management is taking a piss on Indians. God bless those hundred fifty thousand poor souls.

actually they want those people to run around and piss in their showroom and their premises,so as to restrict others from ordering.

Blunt marketing strategy will just make people run away to kawasaki and Hi-ooo-sung.

There's a queue for activa,honda cbr 250 and for the upcoming model.

Perhaps if ur Beloved "Internet" had researched a bit More you would see that it is not just the Indians that are affected but US UK Japan(yes shocking aint it?) and other major countries aswell. According to a few guys i spoke to who reside in the US, the number of CBR's in their showrooms are ranging between 0-2. I believe Honda is still having trouble sourcing materials(and spares probably) from Japan which explains their decrease in production output. Wait till Dec and let us see what happens from 2012

btw "the delay is not due to direct damage from the quake, but due to slowdown of the production line of parts to conserve electricity after the loss of capacity due to the Fukushima plant being lost"
The waiting period in Japan is 4 weeks for the CBR(according to new buyers there)

**captain koli** · 07-21-2011, 01:23 PM

are we getting cbr600rr or cbr600f in india

honda get these bikes ASAP to india

or else gabbar will come and kick ur A**

I agree!
If this happens, then there might be rise in road accidents. Unskilled people getting powerful bikes means danger.
And our government will be the first to impose a bhp limit on bikes!

Oh yes that explains the 4-8 month waiting period for the activa since the last 5-8 years... hmmm...
