Hero powers on minus Honda?
HEllo? Excuse Me? But did i just read that right? I thought Honda has to provide all the aids Hero needs till 2014?
All their products right now are ex(or soon to be ex) Honda models. So i dont see how Hero is powering without Honda there. Or does it mean "Without the HOnda badge"?Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

it does'nt matter from where they are sourcing technology...still hero is hero of two wheeler segment....infact we should say that hero is good in marketing and after sales services...that is why they are at top....like maruti suzuki's swift is topper in its segment, strange part is it runs on same engine fiat 1.3 litre diesel engine on which fiat punto runs incidently which is at the bottom of sales chart in premium hatchback segment....Originally posted by Nithesh View PostHero powers on minus Honda?

No, Honda does not have to provide all the aids to Hero till 2014. It has to be provide support only on the machines that existed at the time of the partnership going off. it means the new launches including Impulse have nothing to do with Honda.Originally posted by Nithesh View PostHero powers on minus Honda?

The recently launched Hero products are all ex Honda models... except for one which uses the Twister's 110 engine.Originally posted by siddharth_ZMR View PostNo, Honda does not have to provide all the aids to Hero till 2014.

As for the Impulse, please google Honda Bros 150 which is being sold in the Brazilian market. Maybe then you can tell me its not a Honda!Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

The story was more about how Honda is bridging the gap and eyeing Bajajs share and it went on to the extent of the coolest thing to do while in xBhp. Bash Hero.
Yes we know they dont have thier R&D
Yes we know all thier bikes are based on Honda
Yes we know even the new launches are based on Honda
Back to the story. The way honda is going Bajaj indeed has to worry. The comparison in the article seemed like Hondas sales in India vs Bajajs sales figures (which the article then goes on to say that a chunk of it is the exports)
But does BAL really have to worry?
- No
It has a distribuition network way bigger than Honda
It has two powerful brands working for them
It has the potential into blossoming into a BIG bike seller from the Kawasaki and KTM stables at a price range lower than Honda can, especially with KTMSuper CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

Maestro has certainly the same engine as the Activa/ Aviator/ Dio has. Otherwise in other matters, Activa seems to be closer.Originally posted by Satyamzma View PostDoes Maestro offers more torque then Activa ?
As far as the difference in Torque is concerned, probably its normal or some tuning might have done it. I can see that its 9 NM torque @ 5500 rpm for Activa. Somewhere else its written 8.8 NM for Activa.
Guys, please understand that Minor tuning changes are not that tough for any company. Even CBZ Xtreme is vastly different from Unicorn. And, Hunk is also different from CBZ-X in terms of lower gearing.
EDIT: As far as I know, both Impulse and Maestro are licensed separately, apart from the pact about technical support upto 2014.Last edited by Samarth 619; 03-27-2012, 10:58 PM.---

I think you are unaware of the deals. Honda has to provide technical support till 2014 and they had a deal for launching new Honda bikes. It is another story that Honda would be reluctant to provide the tech know-how.Originally posted by siddharth_ZMR View PostNo, Honda does not have to provide all the aids to Hero till 2014. It has to be provide support only on the machines that existed at the time of the partnership going off. it means the new launches including Impulse have nothing to do with Honda.Whats there in a signature?
