Honda to launch a stunning new bike on June 30th 2008

After R15 – Yamaha’s mini super bike, Mr. Dependable – Honda India, is all set to launch a brand new stunner themselves. Check the pictures on top, its from Honda India’s website. It is speculated that the new bike will be based on the internationally successful CBR125s. Rumors are that it will have the following specs;

Engine: 25cc
Power: 11.2bhp
Brakes: Front Disc
Tyres: Rear Tubeless
Design: Half-fairing, Sporty Foot Pegs
Seat: Split-seated Design
Odometer: Digital Tacho

But I have my fingers crossed and hope they launch a tweaked 150cc engine which can pump up to 17 BHP with a twist of wrist and a sad 125cc.

During the Auto Expo, earlier this year the concept bike that was on display at the Honda stall. I guess it was done on purpose to get a feeler from the public about the displayed model. Compare the my Auto Expo Photos with the images from Honda India website.

The pictures above are the concept CBF Sports from the Auto Expo 2008…

…and this is the CBF Racing version!

Now that the Yamaha R15 has triggered so much of action in the Indian motorcycle industry, Honda too want a share of the pie and more importantly don’t want to be left behind.

According to Honda’s website the new bike will be launched on June 30^th 2008… that next Monday. So hold on to your knickers coz Honda’s new has gotta be a Stunner!
