I dont think this bike gonna do wonders in the bike market.
No doubt that Honda's products are Reliable , But look out in the previous chapter (Honda Dazzler), A great bike, but one of the least sold bikes in the market.
Hope this one too will be not sold much.

So hope same with it too
No doubt its a great bike. No comments on that.

Its a known fact that indians are obsessed with mileage, but why does honda keep on pestering its production for Indian market with only this in mind. There have been a lots of bikes which were of great Success - especially the Splendor and then in the 150 segment it was the Unicorn. This segment already has lots of competition and people have a lot of choice. But it is really time for them to step up to the next level and introduce bikes that are more sporty and give a decent mileage. Their attempt to this - the stunner and twister, were both great failures. They are again falling into the same pit. We can all see how bajaj took themselves to the next level, introduced the 200ns, totally different from its predecessors, it was worth a gamble, great performance, decent mileage at an affordable price.

Stunner & Twister both bikes got sold in very good numbers, though now after many years, they are seeing a dip in sales.

The Title is correct..

Honda is Trigger happy..

They keep on Shooting With no Bullets!

After looking at this.. I do appreciate my Dazzler more.. Jeez honda. you can do better than this

well the cbs thing of honda seems to be good concept but i dont think this will attract so many customers
more over i dont know who will agree on my concept but i always use both the brakes first the front and then front back together that gives very good braking and also exerts less pressure on your brakes as the momentum is shared by both
but offcorse then u need do see first the road shouldnt have gravels or sand on it

What's the official price of this bike??

Price not yet been announced, will be announced in the second half of April. But it appears that it will be priced around the FZ!

I don't understand why there is so much negativity on this launch. From my point of view Honda has given a much needed facelift to the Unicorn while retaining the core i.e. the tried and tested engine. I frankly didn't like the Dazzler with its puny rear tire and the overall look. Only good things were the digital speedometer and the rear disc options.

If I were in the market to buy a 150cc machine then I would certainly put this in my top 3 options with Hero Hunk/CBZ and Pulsar 150.

The criticism for this motorcycle in particular is valid. It was not what the riders of xBhp hoped for. Probably most bikers were expecting much better. It didn't happen. A rather docile looking motorcycle was launched, much below expectations.

But if you look at the larger picture of Honda and the company's ambitions, this launch makes much more sense.

As a prospective customer, I would be disappointed, but if I owned shares in the company, I would be very happy!

As Payeng said in an earlier post, it should just have been an updated Dazzler. But in that case, Honda wouldn't have the opportuinity to toot around of a new launch. Even the HET engines in the scooter range are being called new launches. So at the end of the year, Honda can claim that they have launched x no. of new models. While it might not be completely true, it does look good in advertisements.

What I do wonder is, when will Honda start launching a bevy of 100cc commuter bikes to take on the Splendor and Passion. These two bikes make around 4 million sales annually. And until Honda doesn't launch a frontal attack on this segment of Hero, it can continue to enjoy being No. 2!

Can this Bike beat FZ or FZ-S in performance.... I mean 0-60 & Roll on Figures??

Yup that's what I meant. . . You are right, those are two different braking systems, just to make someone understand it as simple as possible, I said them so, because there are some who haven't heard about this, so just to clearly make someone understand it, I said it in that way. . . In ABS the front brake is applied, both the brakes get activated but the rear brake activates only the rear, likewise in a CBS system when the rear brake is applied, it triggers both the front as well as the rear brake while the front brake triggers only the front (correct me if I am wrong in this) and yes CABS is a combined Anti-lock braking system which you said above. . . And thanks for your info on the above. . .

ABS and CBS have got nothing to do with each other.

ABS is to ensure that you don't lose traction, electronics cuts in before your wheels lock up.

CBS is when one brake is applied, then the other also gets used.

C-ABS is self explanatory.
