I became the owner of twister just recently. Its just 3 days and I am enjoying the ride. I was confused as to buy 100cc discover or CB twister or passion pro but I went with twister because bajaj has some issues with gear transmission and high maintenance after 3 yrs and passion pro has nothing noteworthy, but twister - The bike looks very sporty and aggressive in terms of looks and styling. It seems the designers had high end super bikes of Honda while designing the CB Twister. The fuel tank of CB Twister looks like reworked CBF Stunner's tank or starved HUNK tank and also the red shock absorbers at the rear have been carried as it is from Stunner.
The headlight has been made very agressive and gels very well with the stylish air scoops. Honda has already promised it won’t compete with splendors and passions but a niche bike in the commuter segment. The CB Twister boasts some never seen before features in this segment bike including six spoke mag alloys, front disc brake, stylish exhaust design, split grab rails, open chain and high quality paint. Gear transmission is smooth. and it has good pick up in 100-110 cc category. it high speed is around 90-95 km/hr. speedometer is all new and cool though non digital. Honda claims 70kmpl under its testing conditions. but I think it will give 65 on highways and 55 on city roads. I will get a hang of it in coming days so I will update it.
Things which I did not like is - rear seating is not good for sari wearing females. also I think there is quite a bit plastic in the bike and plastics are not covered in insurance so thats a bit concerning. But over all I like the bike and in comparison and its a best buy in 100-110cc.
Price on road for CB twister self start, drum break in Gurgaon = Rs. 47, 900(RC+insurance included) excluding accessories + ext warranty
Price on road for CB twister self start, disk break in Gurgaon = Rs. 50, 600(RC+insurance included) excluding accessories + ext warranty .
after riding for about 250 kms my bike is giving around 60 kmpl in a mix ride of city traffic and highways. after 1st service I hope to get even better mileage.
