I was surfing around this morning and found the announcement of a new Honda CB in India. It is cute.

Very intereSTing, thanks for the linky.

70km/liter = 165 MPG. Doubtful claim unless the average speed is ~23MPH (With only 9 HP, could be true I guess. )

Cute little bike.

It's easy George, tested in the mountains...all down hill! And like the early H-D advertisment,"Will climb any hill, w.l.p.a." With Light Pedal Assist. willy

Actually the 1949 Honda Dream Type D had a 98cc 2 stroke motor and got over 230 MPG. Of course it only had 3 horsepower but it would run over 45 MPH.

A mid 60's S90 would get around 115 MPG

I think expecting 165 MPG out of a 110 would be a little pie in the sky, but it should get over 100
Nice looking bike for the size. What do WE get? Rebels.

MMMMM Pie!

(I thought I would beat the regular pie posters.)

My first bike was a 1980 CB100. It would do 70mpg+ and up to 60mph, but not at the same time!

I agree 165mpg is optimistic, but this bike looks like it weighs a lot less than the original CB100, and they are probably filling the tires with hydrogen.
