Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has taken the wraps off its latest commuter motorcycle called the Dream Neo. This new model will slot in under the Dream Yuga in Honda’s burgeoning commuter bike line-up that also includes the upmarket CB Twister.
In line with the conservative tastes of most commuter buyers, Honda has played it safe with styling with a simple bikini fairing to shroud the smart angular headlamp. Instrumentation is neat with a speedometer and a large fuel level readout presented in an easy-to-read layout. Riders will like the comfy palm grips and switchgear that is shared with other Honda bikes. The designers have tried to differentiate the Dream Neo from its competition with funky graphics for the fuel tank and side panels. Sadly, the 8-litre fuel tank makes do with a hinge-less filler cap. As has become the norm, much of the Neo’s cycle parts come finished in black and the effect is quite good. Styling at the tail is nothing out of the ordinary either though the tubular grab rail looks really outdated.
