Hero MotoCorp Laucnhes Ignitor 125

The country’s largest two wheeler maker and the world’s largest two wheeler maker by volume, Hero MotoCorp, has just launched their second product for this year, the 2012 Hero Ignitor motorcycle. This motorcycle, which was first showcased at the 2012 Indian Auto Expo is essentially a rebadged and restyled Honda CB Stunner. The Hero Ignitor 125, however will get only the carburetted version instead of the fuel injection that is available on the top end variant of the CB Stunner. The rest of the specifications of the Ignitor 125 are bog similar to that of the Stunner.

Hero MotoCorp's rebranding exercise on motorcycles by September 2012

By September 2012, the Hero Honda Dawn will read Hero HF Dawn and the Hero Honda Splendor will read Hero HF Splendor. This, as Hero has quit its long time joint venture with Japanese automaker Honda a year ago and ever since, has been promoting its new brand name, Hero MotoCorp across the country. While the rebranding effort of Hero MotoCorp has been effected across Hero dealerships in India, the brand is yet to re-brand its range of motorcycles, which still continue to carry the Honda moniker alongside the Hero name. This too, will change in the coming months.
