introduction

Scooters are usually the underdogs in the two-

wheeler market though they are in great demand
from every sort of buyer, from college kids to men
and women of all ages. And there is no denying
that the scooter that really rules the roost in India is
the Honda Activa. But as good a scooter as the
Activa is, it does lack panache. So for those who
want a bit of flamboyance while keeping the
Activa’s practicality, Honda has been offering
another gem for quite a few years now,  While
maintaining the Activa’s underpinnings, the Dio
loses the heavy steel body and replaces it with a
sleek plastic body which not only makes it look
extremely euro-chic, but also makes it look like it’s
doing 100km/h while standing still. So obviously
this made the Dio a big hit with younger audiences.
And with the Activa having gone through a major
upgrade a couple of years back with a slightly
increased capacity 109cc engine, a new Combi
Brake System and some design alterations, it was
high time that the Dio too went under the knife.
 
So finally at the Delhi Auto Expo 2012, Honda
unveiled the next generation of its scooter which
will cater to the younger masses. And the first thing
that really strikes you is the completely redesigned
front end of the bike. The trapezoidal headlight and
the two sliver like indicators have been replaced by
a massive new unit that incorporates the headlight
and indicators into one near seamless piece that is
sprawled all over the front body panel. The new Dio
of course retains the headlight-less unbroken
handlebar shroud from the older bike and though its
design is pretty similar, it does sport a few
additional lines and curves.

History

   The Honda story is the story of one man,

Soichiro Honda, and his unparalleled
achievement of bringing motor cycles to the
masses. Soichiro Honda was a racer, a
businessman, and a manufacturer. But most of
all he was a dreamer. He dreamed of a better
way of making piston rings, founded a small
company, and began production. He dreamed
of giving people everywhere an economical
form of transportation, and began producing
small motorcycles, including one built in 1949
called the D-Type Dream.
   He also loved racing too. So his company
built bigger and faster machines, two, four, five
and six-cylinder race bikes and won the Isle of
Man.
   Honda Motor Company is by far the world's
biggest motorcycle maker. Honda's first
motorcycle was born out of necessity in
immediate post World War II Japan, where
public transportation was desperately
overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted.
   Looking for a solution to his, and thousands
of others', personal transport problems, Honda
came across a job lot of 500 war surplus two-
stroke motors designed to power electric
generators; nobody else wanted them so Honda
picked them up cheap.
   His aim was to adapt them for attachment to
push-bikes and, by October 1946, his small
factory in Hamamatsu was making complete,
makeshift motor bikes using proprietary cycle
frames. Because gasoline was in short supply,
Honda adapted his motors to run on turpentine,
a fuel that he himself distilled from pine trees
and sold throughout Japan. Turpentine (or gas
thinned out with turpentine) was not the best
thing for powering motorbikes, and required a
lot of strenuous pedaling to warm the engine up
enough before you could get going.
   Honda's first bikes were very successful and
supplies of the surplus engines ran out after a
few months. Business was good by then, so he
decided to manufacture his own motors. Using
the surplus motor as a model, Honda designed
and built his own 50cc engine.
   In November 1947, the 1/2 horsepower A-
Type Honda was being manufactured and sold
as a complete motorbike. Because the
motorbike gave off a lot of smoke and a stench
of turpentine it was known as the "Chimney".
   Soichiro Honda started Honda Motor
Company in 1948, at the age of 41. Soon after
he hooked up with financial whiz Takeo
Fujisawa and together they built an empire.
   1948 saw Honda introduce a 90cc version of
the A-Type known as the "B-Type".
   By 1949 Honda came out with the "D-Type".
Mr. Honda was involved in every step of the
two-stroke D-Type Dream's design and
manufacture. This was Honda's first
motorcycle. This was far from simply slotting a
motor into a pushbike frame. Honda called his
machine 'The Dream', because his dream of
building a complete, motorcycle had come true.
Soichiro Honda was an engineer and was
always looking to produce better and more
sophisticated machines.
   It turned out to be the 146cc, OHV, four-
stroke E-Type Dream. A powerful machine
producing 5 1/2bhp capable of 50mph. It had a
steel frame and proper suspension front and
rear. By October 1951 the new Dream was in
production at the rate of 130 units per day.
   In 1952 Honda produced the first "Cub" F-
Type, a 1/2 horsepower, 50cc, two-stroke
engine that was produced in huge numbers.
You could get one to fit to your pushbike or
buy the complete red and white Honda "Auto
Bai". Less than a year after its Introduction,
production was 6500 units per month, at that
time it was 70% of Japan's powered two-
wheeler market.
   In 1953 Honda produced the 90cc, four-
stroke single, a motorcycle of even greater
sophistication. This was known as the Benly, in
Japanese this means "convenience". The J-
Type Benly had a three-speed gearbox,
produced 3.8bhp, a pressed steel Frame, rear
suspension with the engine and swinging arm
on a sprung pivot, and telescopic front
suspension. Before long they were selling at a
rate of 1000 units a month.
   In 1954 a 200cc scooter, the Juno, was
introduced to capture some of the sales from
the Vespa scooter copies that were being built
in Japan. Honda produced different versions of
the Dream and Benly motorcycles over the
next few years incorporating different size
engines (up to 350cc) and other refinements.
   In September 1957 Honda introduced their
first twin-cylinder motorcycle, the
sophisticated 250cc OHC four-stroke C70
Dream. It was the forerunner of Honda's high-
performance 125 and 250cc twins.
   In early 1958 Honda fitted an electric starter
to the 250cc Dream and named it the C71 and,
in 1959, the latest Benly an incredibly
sophisticated 125cc OHC four-stroke twin,
capable of 70mph was introduced as the C92.
   In July 1958 Honda introduced in Japan what
became the world's most successful motor
cycle, the C100 Super Cub.
   The Super Cub was developed over three
years to be a cheap and practical motorcycle
that literally anyone could use. It used a 50cc
four-stroke OHV motor and centrifugal clutch
with three-speed transmission. It was so easy to
operate that even new riders could ride it as
easily as a pushbike. Its innovative frame
without a crossbar made it popular with the
ladies and set a new trend in commuter
motorcycling. The word "scooterette" was
coined to describe this step-through style
motorbike which sold in 50, 70 and 90cc
versions.
   In 1959 it was the first Honda motorcycle
sold in the U.S., eventually becoming the
world's best-selling vehicle (30 million to
date). As proof the original concept and design
was perfect is the fact that today's C50, C70
and C90s have only detail changes to set them
apart from the machines of 25 years ago.
   That same year, 1959, Honda introduced the
250cc C72 Dream in Amsterdam. This was the
first Japanese bike to be officially shown in
Europe. It surprised the crowd with its unusual
pressed steel frame, swing arm and front
leading link forks, sophisticated OHC all
aluminum engine, electric starter and
indicators.
   In the UK learners had just been restricted to
motorcycles of this size and wanted the fastest
bikes they could legally ride. The Honda's were
the fastest 250s around, and the C72 with its
improvements like 12-volt electric's and wet
sump lubrication, successor of the C71, was
capable of 80mph and could still get 66 miles
per gallon.
   The CB92 retained the pressed-steel frame
and leading link forks while the CB72 received
a tubular style frame and telescopic front
suspension.
   In 1961 two years after Honda started selling
Super Cubs, Honda stunned the racing world
with "Mike the Bike" Hailwood's twin victories
at the Isle of Man. It was the first of an
unprecedented string of victories that was only
the beginning of Honda's racing tradition.
   From the beginning, Mr. Honda dedicated his
company to racing, racking up over 100 major
motorcycle championships around the world.
What was learned from building high-
performance racing machines later led to the
development of groundbreaking production
motorcycles.
   The classic CB72 and CB77 helped fuel
interest in riding, got America on two wheels,
and established Honda as a serious player. The
Hawk name has appeared on Honda models
CB72, CB77, CB400T, NT650, VTR1000F
ever since, the latest being the 1998
VTR1000F.
   In 1962 this breakthrough advertising "You
meet the nicest people on a Honda" shattered
the myth that motorcycles were only for tough
guys and rebels. It reached out and made
Honda and motorcycling in general, appealing
to everyone.
   The C77 a 305cc version of the Dream and
the CB77, a Super Sports motorcycle
producing 28.5bhp were introduced in 1963.
   In 1964 the C95 a 154cc version of the Benly
and a 161cc version Of the CB160 was also
offered.
   The Hondells recorded "Little Honda" in
1964. Honda entered the American pop culture
as the subject of this hit song.
   In 1965 Honda, always eager for a new
market, jumped into the big leagues with their
first big, fast production motorcycle, the
innovative 43bhp CB450 twin. This was a
double overhead-camshaft machine with
torsion bar valve springs that would do a
genuine 104mph, a machine to challenge the
500cc-plus bikes.
   Despite its performance, sales of the CB450
worldwide were Poor. A number of
engineering changes were made, in 1967 a
five-speed gearbox was added.
