The 2010 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[ken cool]

MG bhai I hope that wasn't a typo

It wasn't. This is old hat. It has been happening for a while now!

Do i smell a HONDA 250 parallel twin churing out 28-30PS , with upside down front setup, digital instruments, thing for 180000-200000????

No twins dear! Single mill.

I know I am not quoting CC to price ratio, just Money to Fun ratio!

Then I would be waiting for this 600 that you are talking about.

UPDATE: The Honda Dazzler has been brought to the showrooms in some of the cities and is available to be viewed by public. A lot of details have surfaced. after we gave you the first pictures of the bike. Listed below are some of the things that we have come to know about the bike in the last few hours.
1. The bike is said to produce 14.2 bhp and hit a top speed of 112km/h - which sounds like decent performance for this segment. However, the claimed fuel efficiency is said to be around 70kmpl, which is a little hard to believe.

2. The bike features a digital speedo with a bluish backlight. The tachometer is analogue with an illuminated needle. Rough description of the tacho suggests that it has a white dial and a bluish illumination for the needle.
3. The engine is now redlined at 9500 rpm, which means that the changes are not just cosmetic. Honda have done something to change the character of the engine as well to make it more rev happy and performance oriented. we can expected a slight improvement in terms of acceleration figures. The sprocketing is also reported to altered in favor of quicker acceleration.
4. There are no clip-ons and disc brake comes as an option. The bike also has an engine kill switch

5. The bike will be made available in four colours. While we don't know the exact names used by Honda for these colours, a rough description of the four colours will be Cherry Red, Golden green, Silver and Black
6. The rear tyre seems like a 110-section unit and the tyres both up front and rear will be tubeless

7. There is no chain cover on the motorcycle.

[payeng]

discover 150 launched

Ok, but "Discover 150 Sprint" was too much of a stupid imagination.

[akhilmuraleedhar]

the most likely product from honda could be the cb300. i would like to see the vtr 250(v-twin) launched. recently a new vtr 250 was launched in the european markets and looks awesome.

[chickyheart]

long time news that Honda will launch a 250-300 cc mill,a rumor of cbr150r was also a topic.. i am listening this since 2 years but no launches.
Honda is more focusing on Brazilian markets than Indian..
i don't think or had a hope that Honda will come with a bigger mill...
they should wake up.
and also u Japanese yamaha guys sitting in India wake up..or a new rescission could come and u have to shut off your shops again.

Honda is more focusing on Brazilian markets than Indian..

It is absolutely normal. Brazilian market is way more mature in motorcycling than ours. There is no comparison.
