Two-wheeler manufacturer Honda Motorcycle and Scooter plans to enter into 800cc and above high-powered motorcycle segment by the end of the current financial year, a top company official said.
"We are entering into the premium 800cc and other high-powered motorbike segment and are currently working on it. These higher segment vehicles will be launched in the last quarter of the current fiscal," HMSI's Divisional Head (Sales and Marketing) N K Rattan told reporters here today.
The company also plans to launch 100cc motorcycle by 2010, he said.
"We will be launching a 100cc motorcycle and other range of fun bikes by 2010," he said.
The company recently launched its new 125cc bike — CBF Stunner. The bike is available in three variants — kick drum alloy, self drum alloy and self disc alloy.
CBF Stunner's ex-showroon price in Mumbai varies from Rs 50,377-55,185.
In the current financial year, HMSI targets to sell around 80,000 units of CBF Stunner, he said.
The company, in the last fiscal, sold 9.07 lakh units of two-wheelers which included scooters and motorbikes and enjoyed a marketshare of 11 per cent, he said.
