    Honda Click 125i scooter imported into India for R&D purpose

    Seeing the growing two-wheeler market, two-wheeler manufacturers are launching their new products to increase market shares. Last month, Honda’s Activa range of scooters has put the Japanese manufacturer at number one position in scooter sales. It seems that Honda wants to further enhance its sales in the scooter segment. The company has just imported the Click 125i scooter into India for research and development purposes and might even think about launching it in the future.

    Dubbed as the ‘future of scooters’, the Click 125i is a sleek and sharp looking scooter that was mainly developed for countries like Thailand and Indonesia. The Click 125i is powered by 125cc PGM-FI built-in Liquid cooled engine that gives 11.4 PS of maximum power and 11.16 Nm torque.

    It also has ‘The Idling Stop System’ (ISS) technology that helps the company to achieve high fuel efficiency. This system removes wasteful fuel consumption by automatically switching the engine off after 3 seconds in traffic lights and other short stops; and when you have to move all you have to do is just twist the throttle. The Click 125i is claimed to return an excellent fuel efficiency of 64.3 km/liter that is the highest number in 125cc segment scooter.

    To further provide the benefit of Honda Smart Technology, the Click 125i is also equipped with is Combi-Brake System (CBS) which balances braking at rear wheels and front wheel evenly. Though the scooter has been imported for R&D purpose, the possibility of Honda launching Click125i in India cannot be ignored.
