Why rearsets ?
Rearsets make a huge difference to the riding dynamics of a motorcycle. While adjustable rearsets allow riders of various sizes to customizes their riding posture, the Indian manufacturers generally design these units based on the average Indian height. The rearsets allow better shifting as well, which allows for better riding dynamics. They even facilitate better leaning and hence aid faster cornering not only on the track but in the twisties as well. Honda’s CBF will boast of rearsets – the first bike from the HMSI to have mounted these. The Unicorn and the Shine have already been voted as great handlers by most automobile magazines. The rearsets will make them even better peg-scrapers.

125cc or 150cc ?
If it retains the Shine engine, however mated to a 5-speed gearbox from the Unicorn, the bike can well become a strong competitor to the Gladiator Type SS and Type RS. The Sine engine has truckloads of rear wheel torque which will make it a good entry level performance machine for enthusiasts.
CBF Stunner!?
The bike will be exactly similar to the CBF Sports Concept that Honda displayed at the Auto Expo in January 2008. The engine on the concept however was that of the Shine. As I said earlier, owing to the increasing competition from the 150cc class, the 125cc engine would be chucked for the trusty 150cc unit from the Unicorn. The rearsets will make a lot of difference.
