Hero Honda Glamour FI Launch
Hero Honda has launches its first Fuel Injection Bike - Glamour FI. This also makes Hero Honda the first indian manufacturer to have a Fuel Injection bike.
Bajaj too had been in the fray for first indian bike with Fuel Injection, but Bajaj is looking at entering the slightly higher market segment (200-250cc) and the bike would be available only be the last quarter to 2006 and likely to be priced at about 80 to 90 thousand rupees (INR)
Hero Honda on the other hand has launched this bike sqaurely at the lower end of the market (125cc). The prices are 49,990 for the standard model and 53,990 for the deluxe model (electric start and front disk brakes) ex-showroom Delhi. Hero Honda Glamour FI will feature Honda’s first 125 cc PGM-FI Engine (Programmed Fuel Injection)
The bike has a 124.8cc engine, 2 valves, providing 9 bhp (7,000 RPM) and a maximum torque of 10.35 NM (4,000 RPM)
Overall, the bike has the same ratings for maximum power and torque, and looks same as the old one (equally silly and pathetic)

I assume that you have kind of made the decision that you wand to buy Glamour, and your question is should you go in for the FI version or the old non-FI version. Well, I don’t see much of a difference in the two except that FI will probably give you more kilometers to the liter (because it uses a better technology - Fuel Injection) but would also be about 5000 rupees costlier. The pick-up, top speed are same in both the version.
