The Honda CB Twister should twist the competition with looks and economy
Finally we have the spy pic of the new Honda 110cc motorcycle, named CB Twister. As you can see this bike by no means looks like an ordinary commuter.
The Honda entry-level motorcycle looks stylish and we are sure that it will lend a new lease of life to the 100cc segment in India. Honda will unveil this bike at the upcoming Auto expo next month. The CB Twister is also expected to be equipped with some useful features which are not present in the other bikes from this category in the market.
Like its elder sibling CBF Stunner, the Honda CB Twister should also receive good response mainly because of its looks and features. So let us see how the real package turns out to be next month!
The Honda CBF Stunner gets a new color scheme in Europe. Perhaps it will await us at the Expo ’10?
Honda, earlier in this month, launched a new white and black color scheme for its CBF 125 (known as CBF Stunner in India) in the European market. The CBF 125 was launched last year to replace the old CG 125 in the Europe.
The White-black paint scheme looks attractive and it wouldnt be a bad move to launch this color scheme in India as well. As we all know that the CBF-Stunner in the 125cc segment, is popular among the youth. This color scheme would provide another reason for the people to go for this bike in its segment.
So lets wait and watch if this color arrives in India as well, may be we’ll see it in 2010 Auto Expo?
The Honda CBF Stunner is a unique addition to the 125cc range of bikes in India. With its sharp cowl and slightly tuned engine, the CBF Stunner shows no signs of its Shine-derived architecture. Naturally, this will prompt existing customers to explore the possibility of fitting performance parts to their bikes and here’s something that will interest them.
