The Honda CBF 125 Stunner

















Honda CBF125












The Honda CBF 125 Stunner
When launched instantly set itself apart
in the 125cc segment with its sporty
stance and youthful looks.



But with an unbeatable combination of looks, performance and comfort, the Honda CBF Stunner 125 is the obvious winner. For 2008, the contenders in this class include the TVS Flame and the Bajaj Platina 125 DTS-Si.
The engine, in spite of scoring high marks on performance, doesn't disappoint on the fuel efficiency front. The Stunner's mid range power is potent enough to shun 150cc bikes in the twistie.
Make no mistake, the bike is comfortable and highly maneuverable in city traffic too. This riding posture makes for great handling capabilities on the twisties.

The footpegs are pulled back to emulate a rear set assembly. The high mid range torque from the engine is a virtue shared by its Shine sibling. The Stunner's five-speed gearbox is wonderfully smooth.

The bike's strong performance is courtesy its rock solid handling, trademark Honda refinement and exceptionally good ride comfort especially considering its sporty stance.
These aesthetics add to the overall novelty of the Stunner and work well for the parent company in order to lure potential buyers away from the competition.
The build quality and design of the quarter fairing takes the game a notch higher and even shames its cousin, the Hero Honda Karizma.
The console, though not digital, is very well laid out and easy to read. To highlight the Honda racing streak, the Stunner comes in vibrant colours like the traditional Honda Red, Bright Yellow and Sober Silver.
The CBF takes all the strengths of the Shine, adds more potency and presents it as a strong package. The Shine 125, forms the platform for the Stunner. The Honda CBF Stunner, When launched instantly set itself apart in the 125cc segment with its sporty stance and youthful looks.

Honda's profilation of this bike
The key to the extraordinary success of Honda¿s 125cc motorcycles may be the fact that its small displacement offerings benefit from the same technical expertise, the same long experience and the same pride in craftsmanship as the company¿s larger displacement machines.

Want Independence & Mobility? Try a Honda ANF125i Innova














Want Independence & Mobility?
Try a Honda ANF125i Innova


It looks sleek and sexy and will no doubt be the pride and joy of any owner. The Air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC engine provides exceedingly low emissions and is praised for its reliability and performance.
I recommend the Honda ANF125i Innova, available for less than £2,000 as a great looking, zippy and safe way of getting about.

So which is the best scooter to choose? Sure the scooter may not be able to hold all their mates as they joyride around the nearest town center, but it will allow them to get out an about at a fraction of the cost of a car.
That word is the route of any argument with a young adult; meet them half way and they can't complain. Now I'm sure if you purchase a scooter for your youngster their eyes will probably look longingly over your shoulder on to the driveway where they hope they will spot a Fiesta or Corsa, but you can respond with a one word answer: Compromise.

Low cost insurance, refueling costs and road tax mean that you can be on the road in a nifty little mover for slightly over £1,500.
Ever since the Vespas and Labrettas of the mod era,
the scooter has represented a much more fashionable and accessible form of transport for the urban youngster.
The answer is simple: Scooters. So how is it p
ossible to gain mobility and independence but not dip into the life savings too drastically?

Without taking the actual cost of the vehicle into consideration, insurance costs for
youngsters are absolutely sky-rocketing out of all proportion. While most young adults are craving for that souped up 6 litre V8 that has adorned their bedroom walls since they were 8, the realities area tad harsher.
The complicity lies in the fact that one often relies heavily on the other and both often come at great cost to the parents or guardians involved.
Mobility and independence are, without a shadow of a doubt, the two most important things to your average 17-21 year old.





Honda ANF125i Innova

Honda's profilation of this bike
The Innova introduces a new generation of smart and stylish step-through scooters that offer even wider appeal than the famous Super Cub it replaced in our range. Featuring a host of modern features it sticks true to the Honda step-through philosophy of producing a motorcycle that is affordable, easy to use and maintain, offers super fuel efficiency and has bullet-proof reliability.

BMW motorcycles were born from precision-minded German aircraft builders, a legacy of engineering that continues today. The 1994 BMW R1100RSL is among the classic motorcycles from the renowned German company.

Learn why that's an apt symbol by linking to the BMW motorcycle articles below. BMW motorcycles wear a blue-and-white logo designed to conjure up a spinning airplane propeller.

The Elegant Motorcycles Honda 250 Rebel



The Rebel´s sticker price is
as unbelievable as its outstanding fuel economy—proof positive it´s a Honda.


It became a symbol Thus blood, violence and aggression became natural attributes that were tagged on to the name of the legendary bike. Also, throughout these decades there were numerous gangster films which were made and these outlaw biker movies always featured the Harley Davidson as being the main vehicle being ridden around. Soon it began to be associated with that concept of being on the road and wandering around.

As a natural consequence, the Harley Davidson got entangled within this mesh of liberty and emancipation from reality. Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums," and "On the Road," were two prolific novels which emphasized on the spirit of freedom during that time. A short form of the expression "homeward bound," the hobo was the man who gave up everything in search of a quest o a higher truth through which he tried to make sense of the reality around him. Sex, drugs and rock n' roll were in vogue then and this was where the concept of the hobo became increasingly popular. During the late 1960s, leading to the late 1970s which were the prime years of the Flower Power movement.


Honda 250 Rebel

Over the years, the bike has been associated with a slew of American underground films, which include Kenneth Anger's path breaking short film called Scorpio Rising. One of the first motorbikes of its kind, the Harley Davidson has been the symbol for being on the road and embarking on a roller coaster ride of reckless fortune. The Harley Davidson has always been the all American symbol for freedom and individuality.
