Sportsbike aficionados will be thrilled to know the baby Fireblade, CBR150R is India bound, to sell alongside bigger brother, the CBR250R. The stylish, fully faired CBR150R’s four-stroke, fuel-injected engine will output a maximum power figure of 18bhp at 10,500rpm, and is to be priced in the region of Rs 1,20,000. The CBR150R shall slip into showrooms around the country as early as March 2012.

The sporty Dio scooter has finally upgraded itself to incorporate Honda’s 110cc automatic transmission engine, along with refreshed styling and increased comfort in the form of better leg space.
