Honda Twister makes it to Honda’s Indian


Honda Twister

Sometime ago, we brought you a scoop about the Honda CB110 a.k.a the Twister doing the testing rounds. Now, it is official with Honda launching the Twister on it’s website. The Honda Twister is the newest entrant to the hyper competitive commuter Indian motorcycle segment. Displacing 110cc, the Honda Twister oozes style like no other motorcycle in the commuter segment and we’d go as far as to say that it is what the Yamaha FZ16 is to the premium 150cc segment.

The engine is derived from the Honda Activa and will thus help Honda cut costs and enable them to price the Twister extremely competitively. Talking of which, the Honda Twister will sell for approximately INR42,000 ex-showroom Delhi. Very competitive pricing that. Customer deliveries will start in February. Start saving up people.
