Honda drives in power bikes

NEW DELHI: Lakhpati wheels continue to hit Indian roads. After Suzuki and Yamaha brought in their million-rupee bikes in India, it is now the turn of another Japanese auto major — Honda — to drive in its power bikes.

Honda, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), Friday unveiled the CBR1000RR Fireblade and the CB1000R (both 1000cc), which would cost a pocket-heavy Rs 12.5 lakh and Rs 9.5 lakh respectively (ex-showroom Delhi).

And the company sounded optimistic on demand for them, which though would be limited. “We are confident of selling around 100 bikes in the first year,” said NK Rattan, sales and marketing Head of HMSI. “The Fireblade is among the few bikes in the world to sport a combined anti-lock braking system,” he added.
