At at the Honda 'Revfest' yesterday, apart from showcasing four new products (CBR250R, CBR150R, Livo and CB Hornet 160) and launching the CBR650F, HMSI also teased the silhouette of a mystery motorcycle.

Honda did not provide details of the yet-unnamed bike in its press release. It simply noted that the 'mystery-product' rounds up Honda's promise of introducing 15 two-wheelers in 2015.

This bike is reported by the web to be a 125 cc commuter that has been caught testing in production-ready guise several times, and is likely to be launched in the festive season. The barely-visible image did show semblance to the motorcycle that has been captured in previous spyshots.

The bike will probably be the long-term successor or an in-house alternative to the Honda CB Shine commuter, with identical specifications. That means a single-cylinder, 125 cc, air-cooled engine with HET technology generating around 10 bhp and 10 Nm of torque, would power it. Since mileage plays a crucial role in commuter motorcycles, the fuel efficiency could rise from the present 65 km/l to over 70 km/l.
