      As of Now I am inclined towards the below.

      1. Hero honda Passion Pro ( 55K)
      2. Hero Honda Glamor (57K)
      3. Honda Twister. ( 60K)

      Can some one please tell me the mileage for the above three.. My frnds told me that they are getting close to 60 easily with Passion pro.

      I had a close look at the twister yesterday and I feel it Puny. Also the way they designed Pillion and Helmet lock is really bad.
      checkout the new passion its coming with digital speedo

          well I accept the fact that the stunner being a honda is having a good FE, natural performance etc etc .

          but just think how much petrol you can get in that extra cost & how many kms you can that petrol last in the carburretor version & the rest draw backs has been mentioned by puneet. The stunner FI is not even offering any goodies like digital speedo or tachometer etc etc. Even the top speed is also not so impressive as it is less than that of p135 & almost equivalent to that of the gladiator.

          @OP - i suggest Twister from honda else P135 if you want more power .
          +100 to that

              looks like you have copied it straight from the brochure & pasted it here.

              @TS- the p135 would also be a good selection considering the VFM & performance.

                Buddy, I found this thread boring so i posted more boring content.
                You all are doing to much chit-chat for a guy who is inclined towards passion pro!

                Moderator must close this thread.
                These kind of threads are just.........

                      Thank you all for the inputs.

                      Yesterday I went for the test drive. I liked Honda shine than Passion Pro and twister.

                      Booked it, though there is waiting period of 2 months.

                      I have a noob query here. Does the frequent usage of Clutch consumes lot of fuel? I beleive fuel is linked to the accelerator not Clutch

                        Congrats for Shine....its a Quality city bike with good average...using clutch more then often will result in poor efficiency and worn out Clutch plates

                          Does any one here has contacts with JSP honda Hyderabad. I have booked mine about 20 days back and waiting for delivery.

                          Any way to speed up the process? ( I can pay in cash)

                            I got my CB shine today. Self,Disk,Alloy. Costing me close to 63K including all the accessories.














                            The moment I drove it, I felt like WOW... The pick up is superb.(I drove Passion/Splendor earlier).

                            Got the Teflon done. .....I am loving it to the core..

                                63K on road? You could have bought new Stunner for that price, which is better product than shine overall. Shine vibrates more after 60kmph.

                                P.S.: To reduce the vibrations, I have an idea with me which requires very minor modification. PM me if you want.

                                BTW, congrats on the new bike. Enjoy the ride.
