Hondas Upcoming Neo Retro Scooter Design Concept Leaked

Watch Video Review

Honda seems to be building something utterly beautiful. The patented image drawings (in this story) is likely to be the future styling DNA for a range of Honda scooters. And while the concept does seem outlandish and more neo less retro, expect it to be slightly toned down for the production model.

The Japanese bikemaker is no stranger to neo retro: the company’s performance naked series of bikes follow the Neo Sports Cafe theme. The CB1000R+ and the CB300R are a couple of the bikes to be offered with this styling in India, and the CB650R will join them shortly as well. Thus, it would not be a total surprise if Honda chose to style the PCX series or, for something that is more closer to home, the Dio, on these lines.

We are confident that Honda might not be able to pull off the single-piece body that is shown in the concept for the production scooter. In the event of a crash, the entire body would need to be replaced, not to mention the expense and man hours required to execute said replacement. But needless to say it looks extremely elegant and flashy. We find the slit on the face, where the lights are likely to be found, quite eye-catching, and the swooping lines exquisite.

This decluttered look would work nicely for the Dio, which we hope in the next ten years could be Honda’s challenger in the 150cc class, taking on the likes of the Aprilia SR 160. The foundations of the bike also suggest that it would work well for a slightly larger displacement scooter and not the regular 110s and 125s that populate our market.

Let us not bore you with speculations about the possible pricing and stuff about the scooter as it is a good 6-10 years away from production at the very least. We just wish the final product looks as stunning as these design filings.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

Watch Video Review Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 .

Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand.
