Honda CB300R : Coming to India?

Honda has recently replaced the 250cc Twister with a new 300cc model called the CB300R. The launch in Brazil took place a few days back and is already a hot topic on various forums across India. The point is, will HMSI (Honda Motorcycle Scooter India Ltd) go ahead and get the bike here too?
Honda currently sells both scooters and bikes (along with superbikes) in India but the largest capacity bike made locally is the 150cc Unicorn. The CB300R surely fits the bill for India :
- Single cylinder
- 292cc
- 26.5 bhp
- 27.5 Nm of torque

It looks like a scaled down CB1000R too. If HMSI makes this bike locally with a few imported components, they can still price it around the Rs 1 to 1.2 lakh mark, which needless to say, makes it a fantastic buy for India!

In a nut shell, the Ninja to us looks much appealing, due to the full fairing. It also has a more potent motor that puts out 32 bhp as compared to 29 for the Honda. But, the Honda is a full 30kg lighter than the Ninja!! It seem it will be close battle then. See MCN's website for more details
