“The new bike has gone under production by the middle of this month,” Mr Naresh Rattan, VP, Marketing and Sales, HMSI, said. Honda CBR250R usually accounts for about 2,500 – 3,000 units monthly sales in India. But since Thai floods, production is on the decline due to shortage in supplies. Last month Honda Motors sold just 140 units of CBR250R in India. Honda also said that they will be launching new CBR150R sportsbike next month in India with an approximate price tag of Rs 1.15 lacs.

“There is no dearth of demand for premium priced bikes in India despite a broader slowdown in demand for the commuter bikes witnessed by a few players. The market is growing rapidly even is such times. There have been issues relating to components shortage due to the recent floods in Thailand which has impacted local production. This matter is being sorted out before we launch the new version.” HMSI is also working on bringing highend sportsbike in India. Honda is planning on launching CB1000R and CBR Fireblade in India.
