Thankfully, BMW did not disappoint and showcased its smallest offering at the 2016 Auto Expo, which will be coming to India towards the end of this year.Ī rival to the KTM Duke 390, Mahindra Mojo and the likes, the BMW G 310 R gets design influences from the S 1000 RR as well as the R 1200 R and gets styling influences from the heavily sculpted fuel tank, gold front forks and triangular headlamp. The much awaited child of TVS-BMW - the G 310 R was unveiled late last year and Indian motorcycle enthusiasts could not wait to see the bike in flesh. Bookings are open for the NAVi with deliveries to commence in April. Moreover, there are a tonne of customization options to get the right look for your tastes. 39,500/- (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Hond NAVi is pocket-friendly as well and somehow looks a lot of fun, making it something we can't wait to get our hands on. The NAVi has left most baffled with its dimensions and the quirky looks only adds questions to the motorcycle/scooter's existence. Honda promises a top speed of 81 km/hr, while the automaker's HET technology ensures a higher fuel efficiency figure. Power comes from an 110cc single-cylinder, air-cooled four-stroke engine seen on the Activa that produces 7.8bhp and 8.96Nm of torque, while using the V-Matic automatic transmission. As the curtains dropped on February 3, the Honda NAVi was revealed as a mini bike bringing a scooter and a motorcycle together, being based on the very familiar Activa 110. There was a lot of curiosity related to the NAVi when the teasers first rolled out last month and very little was known on what Honda was actually planning to showcase. The bike will roll out later this year with a marginally premium price tag over the existing model. Other updates include an analog-digital instrument cluster, split grab rails, new fuel tank and tail lamps. Power on the new Hero Splendor iSmart comes from an 110cc air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that is paired to a 4-speed gearbox The bike is said to be 9 per cent more power and 12 per cent more torque than the outgoing iSmart and is also more fuel efficient.

More so because the Indian two-wheeler giant has resurrected its 'Fill it, shut it and forget it' tagline, which once featured on the very popular Hero Honda CD100. What really makes the new Splendor iSmart interesting is the fact that the model has been completely designed and built in-house by Hero and has the potential to be a best seller. The new Splendor 110 iSmart is another step in the same direction that takes the legendary motorcycle moniker forward.Īlso Read: Hero MotoCorp Unveils First In-House Bike Splendor iSmart 110 Hero MotoCorp is the undisputed king of the commuter motorcycle space and the recent years have seen the automaker retain that position independently without ex-partner Honda's technical assistance.

Honda says the Africa Twin will be assembled in India, and that should see it priced well.
