Limited edition Splendor Plus

Bajaj has tried to redefine the entry level bike segment with its 125cc XCD. This was realy a welcome move, thought that yes may be we have started going in the right direction, started to see a shift from 100 to 125 and from 125 to 150+ , till i read this:-

NEW DELHI: India's largest two-wheeler maker Hero Honda Motors Ltd (HHML) today launched a limited edition variant of its 100 cc motorcycle Splendor Plus priced at Rs 41,250 (ex-showroom Delhi), to commemorate sales of two crore bike units in the country since its inception in 1982.

The company plans to manufacture only 50,000 units of the limited edition variant of Splendor Plus which would sport various added features such as black body colour, silver mono tone stripes, black five spoke alloy wheels, a black engine and matching chain cover.

I guess HH would never let go the 100cc segment. I guess what they want to say is thanks for all the all the support and appriciation that the Indian comuter has shown towards the 100cc for over 2 decades. You like 100cc? Here you go, take some more.

"Brand Splendor holds a special place in the hearts of millions of Indians for over a decade now. Through the launch of this bike, we would like to thank each of our customers and present to them the special edition commemorative Splendor," Hero Honda Managing Director & CEO Pawan Munjal said.
