Honda Hero

[Black Bandit]

They may have a MotoGP champion but somebody has to have a word with their Indian R&D boys about naming motorcycles. Introducing the 2006/07 model line up:

Hero Honda CD Dawn
Hero Honda Super Splendor
And my personal favourite, Hero Honda Passion Plus with a whopping 7 BHP @ 8000 RPM !!!

P.S. Check out their homepage Herohonda.com - it has this thing on "Rider Safety" and there's this dude on a bike in a T-shirt and jandals - surely they're taking the piss? Farking hilarious. And their promo vids have received the full Bollywood treatment. I guess travelling in India is a rather unique experience - 30 million "bikes" sold in India.

If it gets more bums on 2 wheels good on them. Was never into media marketing hype myself.

Is that what you call it? I just call it the lame name game.

I've had myself and 3 others on one of those bikes, just like the locals do....

You may find this amusing then.
