(9) Thanks 16th July 2013, 11:53 #2 parrys Senior - BHPian Founded in 1999, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, Private Limited (HMSI) is a wholly owned Indian subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Limited, Japan. With a production facility at Manesar, Gurgaon and an initial investment of 215 crores (back in the day); HMSI was functional since 2001. One of the very first motorcycles that the Indian market received from the stable was the Unicorn way back in 2005. The Unicorn, first introduced with spoked wheels and only a kick starter on Honda's diamond frame, later on incorporated a few changes like alloy wheels, electric starter, powder coated engine etc. to stay in the game alongside the Bajaj Pulsar and TVS Apache. The Unicorn sold well in the market, Join Date: Oct 2011 but all the while, HMSI kept betting big on an ageing design where Bajaj very aggressively kept updating the Pulsar Location: Thane - Mumbai series. Posts: 1,147 Thanked: 4,649 In 2010, in an attempt to bump up the motorcycle sales, HMSI introduced the Unicorn Dazzler. Apart from different Times styling with floating side cowls and a disc brake at rear & a missing kick starter, the Dazzler carried forward the rest of the features from the Unicorn. But as we all know, the Dazzler never tasted success like the Unicorn did. Reason? Unknown. It was a decent looking bike with a competitive power to the wheels compared to those times. On March 13, 2013; HMSI launched the CB Trigger to replace the Dazzler. The CB Trigger is basically a revised Unicorn Dazzler, a commuter motorcycle with a rating of 60 kmpl and 14 BHP on tap. What differentiates the Trigger from the Dazzler big time is the introduction of CBS (combined braking system), which automatically engages the right amount of front braking if you press only the rear brake. The bike is not exceptionally good looking but is in sync with the current times compared to other commuter segment motorcycles. But, when you look at the much older Unicorn Dazzler, this current offering does look a little pale. I found the Dazzler to be much better looking than the Trigger. Also, the trigger gets the kick starter back. It was removed from the Dazzler in order to reduce the kerb weight and cost. LED tail lamps and a full digital speedometer have been added to the CB Trigger to make it look much with the times. The CB Trigger will be available in three colours- Meteor Green Metallic, Pearl Siena Red and Black and three variants: Standard: Disc brakes (F), Drum brakes (R) 2 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Deluxe: Disc brakes (F & R) CBS: Disc brakes (F & R) with CBS When we spoke to a dealership, they clearly mentioned that the Unicorn used to outsell the Dazzler (now discontinued). Time will tell if the new CB Trigger be able to take away the sales from a much older bike with the revised styling. A very basic looking bike. No striking design elements to garner a second look. Accommodating seats, long and soft. A comfortable commuter for two. Ground clearance of 175 mm will help you cross rough terrain with ease. Also, notice the overflow pipes ending below the exhaust. 3 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Rear seat is not too high, pillion does not feel like he is on a floor higher. Rear seat is soft as well. Commuting with a pillion is not a problem at all. LED tail lamps are not too bright, just the right amount of intensity. Indicators are shared with other Honda 2-wheelers. 4 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Headlamp powered by a 35/35W bulb. Headlamp visor gets air scoops on the lower section on either sides and a small silver wind deflector on top. Honda emblem placed on the tank might gather a lot of dust around it. Will need detailed cleaning over a period of time. 5 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Full digital instrument cluster with an orange backlight is good to look at. Redline marking is noticeable even when the bike is turned off. Choke revvs the bike till 3000 RPM and the bike idles at a notch above 1000 RPM in regular situations. Two trip meters, odometer and a digital clock finds place in here. Side cowls seen on the CB Dazzler were much better than the ones on the Trigger. 6 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... A close look at the 14 BHP motor. Notice the absence of a leg guard. Kick starter provided across the range. All black silencer with no chrome. 7 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Air scoop like design in a grey shade on the side panel covering the frame. Fuel tank on / off / reserve control on the LHS below the tank. 8 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Old school gear shifter, cannot complain as it is in the commuter segment. However, the brake lever looked like a locally cut metal piece. No clip on handle bar, again, the basic commuter elements. Notice the Honda logo on the handle bar mount. 9 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Control switches on the handle bar are downright cheap. Feel clicky & are evidently of a low quality (Look at that high beam button). Only self-start on the right hand, and a control overload on the left. ORVMs are shared with other Honda products too. Same unit seen on the Dazzler & Unicorn as well. 10 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... It would have been nice if the fuel cap was a flip unit instead of this complete lift one. You tend to misalign the cap while placing it back. Look at the frame for the rear foot pegs. Small hole below the foot peg indicates that saree guard is an accessory you need to pay for. 11 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Notice the two cables running to the brake caliper. One for the Independent front brake and one for the CBS. 240 mm disc brake at the front. 220 mm disc brake at the rear. Both the front and rear calipers are by Nissin. 12 of 23 3/9/2014 11:58 AM Honda CB Trigger : Ride Report & Pics - Team-BHP http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/139059-honda-cb-trigger-... Keyhole to pop the seat next to the LHS indicator. A sideways placed reflector on the rear mudguard.
