Honda CB Twister

Honda India is learning it's lessons fast. After the sporty 125 CBF Stunner, here's the 110cc avatar .... the Twister. Looks good, but the engine appears too puny compared to the sporty bodywork.

Launched today at 42k ex-showroom Delhi, this has the potential to take the fight to Hero Honda's perennial best sellers - Splendor; Passion & their myriad derivatives.

Pulsar 135 LS

Bajaj had shown this ....

... as the XCD 135 Sprint at Auto Expo 08.

But today, they've come out with this ....


.... the same thing bar the tank, as the Pulsar 135 LS. And it does look striking.

There's a long list of nifty features including clipons, disc brake,split seats, digital meters, floating number plate holder, tank scoops, LED taillight & best of all, a 4 valve engine. Which is all very good, & I think they have a winner on their hands here .... I know I would have bought it in a flash if it had released 5 months earlier when I was in the market for a bike.

But it does make one wonder where BAL is taking it's most successful biking brand.

VeeDub ups it's India game

... launching the Beetle ....


... & the Touareg ....

.... today.
