Anyway my reasoning for that is if Honda actually managed to import it at $900 a bike. We could become a motorcycle nation, I could see fathers buying this bike for their children to learn on. I could see kids saving lawn mowing money, I can see people like myself getting one as a local run about "oh we need sugar, I'll run to the store real quick", I can see people like my parents buying one or two to strap to the back of their camper, and using them to explore the city around a camp ground. At $900 I think this could be in industry changing bike, at more than $1,100 I see another sales disappointment. At the right price Honda could put itself into almost every home in America.

Too fricken funny!!  That is exactly what happened for Honda in the U.S. during the middle 1960's. I was right there begging my folks for a S65.  laughingdp applause

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

unless, of course, we have safety standards that this bike does/will not meet.

What standards could that not possibly meet? Mirrors, check; front and rear brakes, check; lights and turn signals, check. Looks like it meets the standards for bikes of it's size...

was just throwing out a possibility. Emissions for one. India might not have anything close to EPA regulations here. Anything is possible

I don't think the EPA monitors bikes under 150cc, especially since it's a 4 stroke...

   The 50cc super cub would sell today just like it did when I bought one in 1969. Honda has lost the plot. Don
