Honda releases a wildcat -the CB1000R into the Indian urban jungle.
Since Honda entered into Indian market a decade ago, we’ve witnessed its growth into India’s second largest two wheeler producer.
Honda’s first two wheeler into India was automatic scooter Activa followed by the sporty Dio and the geared Eterno. Honda followed up the scooter onslaught with the 150cc motorcycle –the Unicorn, the 125cc Shine and the 125cc CBF Stunner. Honda also unveiled the premium scooter – the Aviator in 2008.
And now Honda is ready with its wildcat to launch in the Indian urban jungle.
Yes , Honda now unleashed their street demon, the CB1000R, at an attractive price of Rs 9,50,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Unlike Yamaha FZ , Honda could also launch its lower version of CB1000R . Yamaha also launched FZ15 (150cc) in Indian market from its original version FZ1 (1000cc).
Though the CB1000R poses no real threat to the Hayabusa, CBR1000RR or Yamaha YZF-R1 on circuit in a straight line sprint , with its stunning looks and ample power, it defines itself as one heck of a sensible ‘ride-on-a-daily-basis’ superbike for Indian roads.
So good:
* Perfect riding posture.
* Agile and novice-friendly handling perfect in city.
No good:
* High pillion saddle could offer better comfort.
* ABS brakes option not available in India.

hey friends
here we have Honda CB1000R..the wildcat in indian urban jungle.
The CB1000R is built with top-quality parts, with a superlative level of fit and finish.
The bike is built around a gravity die-cast (GDC) aluminium frame that houses a retuned in-line four, 998cc CBR1000RR liquid-cooled engine that’s suitable for city riding, rather than for all-out performance. The CB1000R’s ride stays smooth thanks to an Intake Air Control Valve (IACV) that works to keep torque reactions from causing jerky low-rpm conduct. Maximum power of 125bhp is developed at 10,000rpm.
So accoding to me this will give tough competition to YAMAHA FZ1.
Also HONDA may launch smaller version of CB1000R in India to compete yamaha's FZ15,which is now India's hottest bike till date.
