Nobody has till now noticed that Hero has displayed a couple of models with changed names at the 2012 AutoExpo..!!
This indicates the beginning of the demise of a name (CBZ) which started the trend of 4-stroke, stylish + performance bikes in India..
Its very surprising that nobody, I repeat nobody (blogs, forums or mainstream auto journalists) have so far noticed that apart from removing the Honda name from all the vehicles that were displayed at the 2012 AutoExpo, Hero also displayed its 150 cc “CBZ Xtreme” model with just “Xtreme” branding..!!
Not just that, Hero also displayed it’s 100 cc “CD Dawn/ Deluxe” models with a new brand name as “HF-Dawn/Deluxe”. Also when observed closely the PGM-Fi letters from its Karizma ZMR model has been rewritten now just as “Fi”.
