Honda Motorcycle And Scooter India Affected By Cyber Attacks; Production Schedule Adjusted

Honda Motor Company, Japan reported it was under cyber-attacks earlier in the week, leading to a virus problem in its servers. The result was that over 11 Honda plants were affected globally and five were in USA itself. Both, Honda two-wheeler and four-wheeler plants have been affected because of a global network outage. While Honda Cars India reported that the cyber-attacks did not impact its production, but Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has reported that it had to temporarily adjust its production schedule at its various plants.

As per a report from the Press Trust of India (PTI), a spokesperson from HMSI said, "A company-wide network outage has been reported by Honda companies globally. While the cause of the problem is currently under investigation, the recovery process is underway."

Details are scarce at this point and carandbike has reached out to Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India for an update on the situation. Honda Two-wheelers began operations at all its four plants in India last month, with all of its 308 suppliers resuming operations as well. The production schedule was being ramped up in a phased manner but had to be re-adjusted because of the cyber-attacks. The company began sales and service in over 70 per cent of the dealerships as well.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

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. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
