I took Honda CB Twister for a test ride and found some useful facts, which I like to share with you. Rather than the conventional description, I am gonna make the CB Twister talk by itself.


Me:Hi CB Twister?


CB Twister: Hi. rider.


Me: How are you?


CB Twister: so far so good.


Me; So, you are just now out on roads? First my worrying facts. What’s your cost? What’s your mileage?


CB Twister: Hi. I am very young, just came out of the factory. My price tag shows


Rs. 55000 on road. Though I am a little dearer, I am trendy as well as conservative.


Me: Good, now tell me your design features?


CB Twister: Have you seen the recent RTR 160, or the HH Hunk or the TVS flame?


Me: ya . of course…


CB Twister: I have a similar tank design with two fabrics running on the sides of my petrol tank ending in a nosy shape.


Me: I noticed it. It is much different from other bikes. hmm.


CB Twister: My speedometer is all new, you have never seen that in a normal commuter bike


Me: Interesting. continue…


CB Twister: I have new 6 spoke alloys, straight and simple adding to my beauty. Also, to increase the sportiness, I have a cut open chain set and toe shifter instead of the conventional gear shifter. The headlamp and the indicator lamps will make me stand out of crowd even in a traffic jam. Thanks to my design team, who have crafted me with an all new plastic front which adds to my muscularity.


Me: Well, you doesn’t seem to be an ordinary commuter bike? You are better looking than your brother shine and even good looking than the classic Unicorn…


CB Twister: Yes, you are right…


Me: What do you have in your heart?


CB Twister: My heart is an all new 110 cc engine with 8.4 bhp @7500 rpm. I shall be first when you race with any other 100 cc or 110 cc bikes.


Me: Let me ride you and have a hands on experience.


CB Twister: You are welcome, hop on!


After the chat, I took her for a test drive, of course the showroom guy was sitting at my back. The first few thoughts that sprang into my mind was, when I got into the seat, I felt that I am not into a commuter bike(or the masses bike), rather, I saw it as a sports bike with new instrument clusters, aggressive tank shape and grippy driving position.


Coming to the ride, I was able to shift the gears easily and even at low speeds, the bike pulled both of us(the showroom guy behind me) without much fuss. When I opened up the throttle, I could feel the good response from the bike taking me from 0 to 40 in less than 5 seconds, not bad for a 110 cc engine. Although, downshifting was not smooth, coz I could hear some thud thud sounds, the overall gear shifting stuff is a relaxing job in CB Twister. Honda claims 70kmpl under its testing conditions. I believe it shall give atleast 65km on road. Top speed is supposed to be 95km.


THANKS FOR READING THIS REVIEW


Like this review? Good. If not, here is an interesting stuff.


I shall give you a link where there is a conventional review done by me. Since this link has my first detailed review attempted, kindly bear with my drawbacks. Have a great day.
