As per the certain reports doing rounds on the Internet, HMSI is looking forward to reviving its renowned premium commuter in the 110cc segment, Honda CB Twister, this year. The model was pulled off from the production line owing to the introduction of all-new Livo back in time. In a matter of putting competition upfront for the fuel injected Hero Glamour in price vicinity, the company is in the plan of bringing the CB Twister back. Also, we could see the model CB125F as Twister 125 because of it will help in saving a lot on R&D and cycle parts for development.
Honda CB125F will be a change in taste for the buyers who had fed up with typical commuter friendly riding posture. As it is a mild street bike with sportier body language. With slightly intense fascia, the motorcycle gets minimal fairing, Livo style tank extensions and sharp tail section. The instrument cluster on the bike will be a basic unit with tachometer, speedometer and fuel indicator. There are chances, the automaker could ditch fuel injection in order to keep the pricing in check by almost INR 5000 over the standard pricing.
