Honda has launched the cheapest bike in its current line-up in an effort to conquer the huge Indian market which is teaming with old bikes which need replacing, and a rock solid and growing economy which enables people who hand’t previously owned a motorbike to do so.
The bike is called the Dream Yuga and it features a 110cc which has an output of 8.5hp at 7500rpm and a four-speed gearbox. The simplicity of the design is, honestly, refreshing, as it features a carburetor instead of a more complex (and expensive) fuel injection system, kick-start and cable-operated drum brakes. All these weight(and cost)-saving measures all add up to a motorbike which is very light, at 108 kg. An electric starter is available as an optional extra, along with adjustable preload for the rear suspension and alloy wheels.
The bike’s 8-liter fuel tank gives it a claimed range of 544km (340miles), so it’s extremely cheap to run and also very cheap to buy at just €645.
