Dear All,
A Very happy Independence Day to you and your Entire family.

Classic Bikes were Introduced, Left Right and Center But NOT in India (200cc-800cc).
Guess why? Political and Marwari Business Houses who did not see much of a bargain.
Look at JAWA, today. Jeans clad dasi wannabees!
Did your retro Fan following get what they believed was a true resurrections 0f the JAWA Road King, NO.
Look at British motorcycle History and their Bikes, true blood Line machines.
RE also is in the same search for a butter smooth refined low stress engine.
Just notice a JAWA, tin box overtake your daily commuter scooter.
You will be so proud of yourself and your wisdom for sticking with the HONDA bikes and scooters.
Travel to East Asia, you will see an thriving Economy and Business is alive and kicking even late at night!
Manufacturing, is directly with technology tooling from Japan. Low Volumes.
And Bharat, Nope!
Why?
The statistics of number of young Boys and Girls dying or permanently disabled in India/ every day is Highest in the World.
Bikes named:
Street Fighter
Interceptor
Hornet
Blade
Fury
Fire, wire, Tyre !
Lets get a a proper Classic Family commuter Bike, Scooter that is manufactured in East Asia.
Honda, is not doing justice to the Common man!
We are paying way too much for a 100cc two wheeler.
This should stop.

There is a possibility of Honda showcasing a high-voltage strong hybrid architecture as well. With around 0.5 kWh of battery and a starter motor/generator, Honda can offer around 10 to 15 km of pure electric range at around 40 km/h speed. For longer commutes, ICE is always at the user’s disposal. This would be a halo tech that won’t probably make it to budget vehicles

Zigwheels says

We did some digging around and found out that the Japanese bikemaker has been working on a security system for its two-wheelers. This anti-theft feature could be a scaled-down version of the Honda Ignition Security System (or HISS for short) that is present on its two-wheelers like the CBR650R, CB650R, CRF1100L Africa Twin and other premium offerings

This is a long story going on for over 6 months now; hopefully HMSI launches a real upgraded Activa as the SME technology with Yamaha is already over a year old & it's 125!!

Need to replace our 18+ year old Activa. Have been following up for the launch of 7G for such a long time now that I have literally given up on following the launch date now. Hope they release something in the market soon.

When i had first seen this photo two days back, i assumed it to be fake because it was not posted in Honda Two wheeler Twitter account (It is now) and the image felt like a very shoddy job that someone came up with a 5 minute edit to create rumors.

In fact a google reverse image search shows this image is just a stock image used a lot by newspapers.



Hence do not give much heed to the words like AI shown in the picture.

The only real change that can be expected will be the H-Smart which as per the Trade mark application seems to be a Anti-theft systems / anti-theft alarm for two wheelers.

The new top-end variant of India’s most popular scooter is debuting on January 23

as per the document, the scooter’s power output has gone up from 7.79PS to 7.84PS, despite using the same 109.51cc engine. Furthermore, the upcoming Activa Smart’s gross vehicle weight (kerb weight + permissible weight) is 1kg less than Standard and DLX trims. We are unsure how Honda could have achieved this despite the added tech

Honda had filed a trademark for ‘H-Smart’ which is an anti-theft system for two-wheelers. We reckon this could be something similar to the Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) equipped on CBR650R, CB650R, CRF1100L Africa Twin and the marque’s other premium offerings
