My point is, a company of Honda's stature would definitely have tried this on small-capacity engines before, and didnt put it into production for one or all of these reasons:
1) Cost vs. Complexity didnt work out in its favour
2) No significant change was seen in the engine's characteristics
3) There was a significant change when the plugs fired in staggered pattern (not together) but the system was too complex to use in a small-capacity engine.
Bajaj is very good at putting small improvements like this to use in marketing their products...Look at their new twin-spring shock on the Discover and CT100, and you will know what I'm talking about.

bajaj may not be the first one to try this tech but is the first one to implement it on motocycle engines.it has been applied on car engines long ago.
but people are not ready to belive that Honda is now going to use technology first implemented by bajaj.(not reffering to anant).
