The price seems to be very competitive… this would mean that there will be cannibalization with hero honda products, contradictory to what honda announced.
This will eat into the Passion market for sure.Passion Pro costs 52K and Passion Plus 50K OTR with same old CD100 engine.Looking the ex-showroom price this one should be priced around 48-53K OTR.Price overlaps with Honda Shine which is priced around 47-54K OTR but Shine is a commuter bike in 125cc while CB Twister is a sporty bike in 100cc.
What the hell does Honda think of us Indians?
More plastic, more color use age old technology and churn out more and more of small commuters?
Just LOOK AT THE TINY POLIO STRICKEN ENGINE.
WHAT A JOKE!
Wow what a nice bike it is. I am sure hero-honda jv will break soon because CB Twister will eat the market share of splender & passion.
Wow what a nice bike it is. But i wanna 2 no when honda will launch CB 300R in india.
Twister series itself seems very promising, as far as further launches are concerned from Honda from the Twister series are concerned it is likely to be happen.
