2 Honda CBR250R to get (Red-Blue-White) color combo, shown at the 2012 Auto Expo

New color for the CBR250R showed at the 2012 Auto Expo.. to be launched in India soon

Honda made a big leap into affordable performance biking in India last year with its CBR250R. Expecting Honda to surpass the CBR250R is such a short time would be too optimistic. Moreover Honda has unveiled the CBR150R at the 2012 Auto Expo, they also have the task of making the 110 cc “Dream Yuga” motorcycle a sales success.

I am expecting Honda to take it easy with the CBR250R and it would probably be left untouched for 4-5 more years, at least mechanically.

Cosmetic refreshments should keep the CBR250R fresh and Honda has initiated the same with a new "Red-Blue-White" color scheme for the CBR250R. After its launch in india, so far the CBR250R had been available in 3 colours – Red, Black and Silver.

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.
