News approved!

CD nomenclature does take me back few years and pricing is sweet too.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

Going by what the dream series return, my guess would be 65-70kmpl if ridden normally (not ripped lol)
Oh yes the CD tag could play a part in pushing their sales up.
honda can afford to bring in (and quickly at it) any capacity/category (well,almost any) in to the indian market..they ALREADY have various capacity engines/bikes that are available in various markets around the world.. that's one advantage they have, and it doesn't matter if the dazzler failed to dazzle or the trigger jammed as mentioned by someone earlier (it doesn't mean those bikes are mechanical failures, just that the desi consumer did not like the taste/price but some instead bought the unicorn..i know a few ppl who did this)
that's another advantage..honda has some choice within the category and considering the positive vibe the name 'honda' has with us desi customers, the customer might not buy a trigger or an aviator but settle for an unicorn or dio/activa -it still puts money in hmsi's pocket

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

If the products are so brilliant then honda should have ruled the indian market atleast in motorcycle, how can one say that honda is giving top notch quality in indian market, look at the switch gear of the trigger, one word cheap, no engine kill switch, no dc electricals plus not to mention that Asc, which is doing wonders for Honda, for an example we went to honda showroom for inquiring trigger, the showroom was dirty, sales person was looking like some village guy with no knowledge on product whatsoever, trigger was not on display and when asked by us he said that the vehicle is in godown,and only one colur is available, our question was why only one colour the guy said because the demand is less then when we asked for unicorn the guy said don't buy unicorn as it will be discontinued very shortly, one hopes that honda's 110 dream will fullfill the dream of company.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

are you expecting kawasaki or BMW quality at this price piont????
Honda engines are reliable and they are a established brand so they will extract more money because of the brand value.Just like other manufacturers manufacturing different products.
Honda engines give peace of mind overall.
Regarding service centres i agree that they are not upto mark but so are the others.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

for a company that entered the indian motorcycle market (as in selling geared bikes) less than 10yrs ago, look at where it stands now ? Do i even have to mention its standing in the scooter segment ??
how many customers do you think know what 'DC electricals' are ? 99.9% of 'em do not care if a bike has a kill switch (its not as complicated as an aircraft to shut down a bike!!) or DC electricals (all they need is the light to come on/off when using the switch) ... its another story that for us Indians that a 150cc is a 'performance' monster..
I could show you other ASC's showroom's that are equally bad or worse and the sales guys are more or less the same all over..and remember they will bullshit u into buying a more expensive bike and tell you stories..If you are an informed biker you will make the right decision based on your needs and budget.
If you are an informed biker, you shouldn't have a bad review of by the trigger (or any bike for that matter) just by the sales experience (rather you shud have been pissed off at that particular dealer and moved on). And pl do not say stuff such as 'village guy' etc.
Lets keep it clean and not continue the brand wars (i also see some content here on xbhp praising hero to no end).. lets be fair and just.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10


So that does means we have to satisfy ourselves with mediocre products, so what kind of quality should i expect from honda, quality of ?, a honda product should be like a product of honda, every engine is reliable if maintained properly and it's not that only honda knows how to make engines and other manufacuteres don't, and the company with honda name can't be compared with any other manufacturers service centres.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

exactly, majority people want is to travel point A to B,low on maintenance,and most important the mileage thats it.I would not like to discuss this further and be silent

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

At this price point, we are used to see 97.2 cc and 7.8 PS engines of Hero. I think Honda has made their intentions clear with a 110 cc and 8.3 PS engine. Around 10% extra power. The segment is surely going to be interesting if they can launch their product maintaining the quality. Good news for the consumers!

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

Reminds CD100SS.. Cheap price doesnt mean cheap quality.. It almost same quality as neo/yuga by looking the picture. Honda did in reverse order, starting with higher cc unicorn, slowly finishing at 100cc, their favorite segment - inverse of hero honda;-) People can complain only about service centers when it comes to honda, experts like xbhp guys should not ;-) When the bike is a perfect gold, I have nothing to worry about service.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

All I can say is, WOW. Irony is, to take on the compition, Honda had to snatch the surname "CD". The Japs have come fully prepared for the assault it seems.
Now the only thing Honda should concentrate on, is ASS. Also Honda has significantly less no of showrooms Compared to Hero.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

What do you mean snatch the surname.. 'CD' , 'CB' are Honda's badges which were merely 'licensed' to the erstwhile hero honda. Which is why now hero has re-badged its offerings as HF-dawn, HF-deluxe, Xtreme (without the CB) etc..
Well this is business for honda and i dont see why they shouldn't use their own stuff to market their own products!

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

Sir can you explain which engine.. Honda has introduced HET engine 110cc with the below properties. I think it is to reduce friction and improve mileage and acceleration.
Friction has been reduced with an offset crank, lighter materials, a low tension piston ring and improved bearing oil seal.

Re: CD 110 Dream: Honda launches its most affordable two-wheeler in India at Rs 41,10

I agree with you. But I don't understand why you attacking me immaturely? What I meant to say is, Honda had to relay on the CD surname to become numero uno. Hence they snatched the rights from Hero. Whats wrong in that?? The engine layout and components are no way related to the original CD series. Control your fanboyism while replying. I myself a Honda Owner. I am happy for Honda as well.

WOW. if its true, then they are truly genius. Coz, there low quality engine in Dream Yuga belonging to our factory manager recently completed 70K. And milage still around 60Kmpl(OK, milage is less than splendour, I accept). And yes, he often do Cuttack to Kolkata on that stupid bike. I should warn him now. OK, this post needs deletion....
