Hello,
Recently read that Honda has removed 250r and 150r from their Indian website. I hope they launch new products.

CBR300R hell yeah

Re: Honda India announces its Mid-Term Business Direction 2017-18

By any chance are they bringing the the cb650f?

Re: Honda India announces its Mid-Term Business Direction 2017-18

Don't want to sound like a Bonda fan, but it's not lack of innovation that hinders HMSI, but lack of consumer interest in Hondas products.

Both the Dominar and the RE models which sell at around 2 lakh have more sales than the CBR 250. Why would they take the trouble to make the 300 here if it's sales aren't going to be worth the cost?


Let's consider the fact that Bajaj has a plan to hike the production of the Dominar to 10,000 units a month by September 2017. In contrast, the sales of the CBR 250 is definitely not going to be above 1000 units a month. So Bajaj, in effect, is confident of outselling the CBR by 10 to 1!


With these numbers at hand, would any company bring in their bikes to India? Knowing that people would prefer to buy a paisa vasool bike rather than a higher quality one?

Re: Honda India announces its Mid-Term Business Direction 2017-18

I would rather say Honda's lack of interest in consumers is the main reason ,when Kawasaki can bring in so many models without any bestsellers like Activa why not Honda ?. When it gets it's bread buttered with Activa & Shine it can afford to offer consumers better products from it's range atleast in major cities with separate servicing . CBR250 has not had any upgrade since launch except for a repsol colour edition ! SAD .

Re: Honda India announces its Mid-Term Business Direction 2017-18

"higher quality" SERIOUSLY? I will still prefer a Dominar, Apache or Duke over any Honda as they offer as much reliability at much lower price and way more performance for buck. If I am i in market for a scooter then definitely I will pick up Activa but not a performance bike (CBR 1000RR is an exception. LOL )

Consumers looking for performance bikes and cars are always ready to shell out extra money as long as they get good enough equipment for the price.
