Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has introduced the 2018 Navi moto-scooter in the country priced at Rs. 44,775 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The 2018 Navi is priced at a premium of Rs. 1991 over the existing model for the standard version. The moto-scooter is the first product to be designed completely by Honda R&D India, and shares its underpinnings with the popular-selling Honda Activa scooter. HMSI also exports the Navi to markets in Latin America.

For the 2018 edition, the updated Honda Navi comes with a new fuel gauge and metal muffler protector. You also get new body coloured elements including grab rail, headlight cover, rear view mirrors and the sporty red coloured cushion spring.

Along with the convenience value addition like stylish fuel gauge and muffler protector, new vibrant colors offer an extra zing for those who have an appetite for uniqueness. We will continue to surprise our customers and add more fun for the riders."

Power on the Honda Navi comes from the same 109 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor that powers the Activa. The engine churns out 8 bhp at 7000 rpm and 8.96 Nm of peak torque at 5500 rpm. The model comes with telescopic forks up front and a single-shock at the rear, while drum brakes serve purpose for stopping power. The Navi rides on tubeless tyres.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
