HONDA
Though Honda has performed well, it will be disappointed by the fact that the company is no longer number one. Honda’s strength as far as CS well structured dealerships. The areas of gain for Honda this year have been in the Service Advisory and Performance categories, the dealers recording a significant improvement in this area — equating to a substantial jump. Its overall success is due more to a balanced performance than any one factor. The most significant drop according to customer response is in the most important factor . Problems experienced the percentage of Honda owners reporting one or more repair problems at 12 to 18 months of vehicle ownership has continued to increase over the last three years from 27 percent in 1999 to 41 percent in this year’s study.

Honda VTEC Review
Honda has finally launched the City with a VTEC heart, much to the enthusiast’s delight. The City’s revised looks now make it appear as if the car sits lower than the tall looking pre-face lift model.The reason for the same is increase in the car’s length, together with a higher bonnet design, all of which contribute towards making the car look broader than the earlier variant. The boot space too is increased to 500 liters. The 1.5-liter VTEC meanwhile is a different engine than the available on the older City VTEC. Besides being lighter and more
compact that the older engine, the new VTEC produces lesser horsepower at lesser rpm as well – 100PS at 5800rpm against 107 PS at closer to 7000rpm produced by the former. The new VTEC therefore, is expected to be an equally good low-and mid-range performer, as i-DSI The VTEC will sport fogs lamps at both front and rear, besides disc brakes at the rear. Other features include, an opititron meter and a self illuminating high visibility instrument panel. The revised looks have been carried over to the complete range, coupled with a slight increase in prices.
Unicorn
Unicorn was the first bike launched by Honda under their fully owned arm in India. Prior to that, they had already established themselves in the scooter segment with 102cc Activas and Dios. Since then, Unicorn has been regarded as one of the most refined bikes in the country along with great mileage and adequate performance. Sporty and conventional are two words that best describe the Unicorn and we like its simple and well-poised looks. The bike comes in fantastic quality red, black, grey, blue and Silver paints. The Unicorn has been gifted an engine developed specially for Indian conditions by Honda. The Unicorn engine is straightforward and delivers on all counts. This jewel of a motor is silken, purring to life with a light kick. Displacing 149.1cc its four-stroke unit offers a max output of 13.3bhp at 8000rpm. The bike does not give a sudden jolt of acceleration, but very efficiently increases the speed in a smooth fashion. The same acceleration power is retained as you go to higher speeds. Unicorn does a good job of constant acceleration for a long time with its 150cc engine.
Honda Hawk GT
The Hawk made history. This is one sweet motorcycle. Nimble, light, fun, great handling. The Honda Hawk GT was one of Honda’s most unique designs. Definitely one of my favorite ‘naked’ bikes.V-Twin, 647cc, water cooled, five speed transmission. The Hawk has achieved an almost cult-like status, with machines being modified for racing and being used to rack up very high mileages on the street.These little V-Twin sportbikes have become more popular since Honda stopped importing them to the USA.
