20 Honda unveils "Dream Yuga" its’ 110 cc commuter bike at the 2012 AutoExpo

Honda unveils its commuter dream.. err.. "Dream Yuga"

Styling mirrors the CB Shine..

110 cc engine from the CB Twister

"Dream Yuga", this one definitely has to be among the top of my list of weird motorcycle names. Yep, "Dream Yuga" is the chosen name for Honda’s much talked about foray into the voluminous commuter/100 cc motorycle category of India. This particular model from Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) was unveiled on the first day of the 2012 AutoExpo.



This particular motorcycle might not interest enthusiasts but it is a very important card in Honda’s grand game plan for India. Given the fact that Honda has officially put it on paper to part with its erstwhile partner Hero, I am expecting Dream Yuga to get top priority in the coming days from Honda.

But dude, that’s a weird name "Dream Yuga".

Suzuki Motorcycles India unveiled a new commuter motorcycle.. calls it Hayate

Suzuki motorcycle today unveiled a 110 cc motorcycle called "Hayate" aimed at the commuters. In terms of styling the Hayate does remind one of the Slingshot 125 motorcycle from Suzuki India's stables.



The Hayate definitely won't cut ice with enthusiasts who were expecting at least the Suzuki GW250/Inazuma motorcycle to be brought to India. According to Suzuki it seems India isn't ready for "big" bikes but they have promised some exciting stuff for enthusiasts next time at 2014 AutoExpo.

Honda (HMSI) shows off its sporty motorcycles for India.. the racy CBR150R..!!

Honda unveils its latest model targetted at the Yamaha R15, the CBR150R at the 2012 AutoExpo..!!

The CBR150R would be more of a "Race track tool" than the "Sports tourer" like CBR250R...

Both the CBR250R and the CBR150R is manufactured in Thailand so probably we can expect the CBR150R to be manufactured in India as well (since HMSI makes the CR250R in India). At first glance the CBR150R appears similar like its elder brother the CBR250R, but there are some differences between the two models which are skin deep.
