There was a time not too long ago when the ubiquitous Japanese mobikes dotting our landscape were simply referred to by numeric names like KB100, CD100 or AX100. Today, they all sport trendy names like Fiero, Victor, Caliber, Aspire, Dawn and Ambition. What happened? In a bid to latch on to the ever-growing tribe of youngsters who want more power, Hero Honda Motors has launched its new 133cc motorcycle Ambition The name has to blend with the character. The bike’s features and its name have to complement each other. If one achieves this, the brand automatically becomes popular,example of Bajaj Caliber says that the bike was made to look bigger despite being 100cc. Market incorporat a different quality or calibre in the bike and wanted to target the people,who had graduated in life. This is the typical thinking that goes behind name selection Country's largest motorcycle maker Hero Honda Motors launched a 133cc four-stroke motorcycle 'Ambition' and said it was upgrading capacity at its two manufacturing plants to cater to increasing demand. Priced at Rs 44,612 (ex-showroom, Delhi), Hero Honda expects a a portion of Passion owners to shift to Ambition. From Splendor to Passion to Ambition, it has been a smooth journey for Hero Honda. With three models attracting the same section of commuters, there are chances of each eating into the others market share - but then the Hero Honda top brass is not worried as long as the predator is their own model.

Now I am not giving any review on Performance, coz I have not tested it yet, but as far as looks are concerned I will not go for this bike, & I dont think it's a Great bike for Power Freaks, comparing to RX 135(my much loved bike after RD350)which is in the same category of 133 CC, lets see how it performs on the Road against RX 135.
Happy Riding,
