Styling isn’t very different from the Shine and it boasts features like a self-starter, alloy wheels, long seat, full chain cover and tubeless tyres (first in the segment) as options. Apart from this, it has maintenance free battery and vicious air filter similar to Honda CB Twister.

Honda Dream Yuga is powered by a 4-stroke, air cooled, 109cc engine which generates maximum power of 9 bhp@8,000 rpm and maximum torque of 9Nm @ 6000 rpm. It comes with 4 speed transmission and self start as an option. The commuter bike claims to be a fuel efficient vehicle which provides a mileage of 72kmpl and it also includes an intelligent ignition control system which works according to the increased torque load.
