HMSI, which launched the 110cc CB Twister a few weeks back is riding on a wave of bookings and inquiries.

Since the launch of the CB Twister, it received around 20,000 bookings for the stylish commuter and successfully delivered over 50% of that volume (11,000 bikes) to its customers.

The CB Twister has made it to the showrooms

CB Twister which has been in the news for quite sometime now has finally made it to the showrooms. The launch event of the bike happened in December 2009 and it took almost 3 months for the bike to finally make it to the Honda dealerships.

Honda conducted various launch events for the twister in various cities in India in the month of February which I think could be because of the fact that the first launch event happened long time ago.

Today I thought to visit the Honda dealership in my city just to check out the bike. To my surprise it looked pretty much silent at the showroom and the new bike was placed somewhere hidden among the several other bikes standing there.

I expected the bike to be placed right at the front and the first thing any customer would notice while entering the showroom should have been the new Twister, but that was not the case.

I stood there for around 5-10 minutes and not a single person from the dealership came to me to ask what my query was. After a few minutes one guy noticed my presence, I asked him about the twister. Before he told me anything about the bike’s features he asked me “in cash or finance?” This meant that he wanted to know if I would be buying this bike in cash or looking to get it financed. Never thought that these people are in such a hurry of selling their bikes!

I asked them a few questions regarding the bike which I already knew the answers for, I was just behaving as a potential customer to them and pretended as if I didn’t knew anything about the bike.

In the end I was a bit disappointed with the overall treatment I got from the people in charge of the showroom.

Now coming back to the bike, there was only one CB Twister present at the showroom. The Candy Sonic Green color looked amazing and let me tell you that the bike doesn’t look like a 110cc commuter bike by any means and looks muscular enough. The drum brake version was at the display, interestingly the rear grab rails of the bike are somewhat merged with the rear portion of the bike( you would have to look at the bike yourself to understand what I mean here), it might create an impression that there are no rear grab rails at all.

The meter console was simple with analog odo meter and speedo meter, fuel indicator, turn indicator and high beam indicator.

Just in case you are interested, below is the Ex-Showroom price(Delhi) of the three version of the CB Twister:
KICK DRUM ALLOY Rs. 41,850
SELF DISK ALLOY Rs. 47,850
SELF DRUM ALLOY Rs. 44,850

Soon IMB will come back with more details regarding the bike including the test ride review of the CB Twister. So keep following IMB for more updates!

As per the company officials the CB Twister will be the best in its class when it comes to the pickup and initial acceleration. The 110c bike would not be a boring commuter bike but would add fun to your ride.

The bike comes up with a 110 cc engine capable of producing 9 BHP of power. The other useful features of the bike include tubeless tires, maintenance free battery and viscous air filter. The company claims the mileage of the bike to be 70kmpl.

The bike will be available in five colors, electric yellow metallic, candy palm green, pearl nightstar black, pearl siena red and pearl Fiji blue.

The 125cc Honda CBF Stunner has been doing pretty well and is popular among the youth and similar is expected from this 110cc motorcycle from Honda.
