I am pleased to start writing this blog on Honda Dio HET(2013) variant. I hope that this will help people in making their purchase decision easy and smooth. As I was also so much confusing in selecting a best suitable and comfortable scooter for me and my wife, who will be using it occasionally.
In my wishlist I was preferring only Honda scooter because recently they launched HET(Honda Echo Technology), in which company was claiming 60kmpl mileage, which is not bad at all. In Honda my decision was confusing between selection of Activa and Dio, As you know Activa is well known and doing so well in Indian market but personally I was attracted to Dio and was not willing to go with crowd by selecting Activa. So, finally I made my mind for Honda Dio and purchased it.

| Honda Dio HET |
Initially I was bit confused about its body building as previous model has some issues on and another concern was fiber quality. But thanks to Honda, it looks like they have fully revamped this scooter in this generation. It's made of carbon fiber which looks quite durable and gives less weight on scooter. I was quite happy in driving the scooter in heavy traffic, it was so smooth to take the scooter away from sharp corners and pickup is amazing responsive to throttle which can take you ahead of signals.
As per my best experiences I have taken scooter often to out of town and the handling was very nice like bike on top speeds. Also, the Dio gave me 52+ kmpl mileage (Which is roughly lowest estimated). Often I have driven with three persons, and never felt like its a scooter. It was running so well with 3 riders, which made me amazed and proud owner of it. One thing more I love about Honda Dio is, its ground clearance. Its body is built quite well that footrest is never touching any speedbreakers, where I have seen that many Activa owners were facing issues.
Also, I feels like its zero maintenance bike. Till now I have not spent a single penny except oil changing during servicing and never need to take for any single repairing.
If you are looking for most advanced looking scooter with long durability, good mileage and less maintenance then you can definitely go for it. Along with all that you can get Honda's best resale value!
If you have any query then feel free to ask me here. Thanks for reading and sparing your time, I hope it will help you to take decision.

Hello Friends,
I am pleased to start writing my product experiences with this Honda CB-Trigger product. I was looking for a good 150cc bike for my brother who just joined the college. I was recommending him usual running 150cc bikes like Bajaj Pulsar, Hero Xtream, Hero Hunk etc. But he was refusing all those well known bikes and willing to own Yamaha FZ-S. I was strictly against it due to its less mileage and high maintenance cost, which I came to know from my few friends who owned this bike.
During my visit to Honda showroom for servicing my Honda Dio, I talked to the sales person who had been a good friend of mine during purchase of Dio. He said that few days back Honda has launched a new bike in this segment and the look is quite competitive to Yamaha FZ-S. I had been excited to hear this news from him because I trust Honda vehicles and was confident that in longrun Honda bikes can definitely beat Yamaha!
After some conversations me and my brother agreed upon Honda CB-Trigger, as he is getting FZ-S kind look and I was getting Honda's reliability. So, we finally booked the bike and dealer promised to deliver within 10 days. But fortunately I got it within next 3-4 days of booking.
I had driven the bike around 30-40km only in first 3 days within Ahmedabad city and then I was going to other town for attending a ceremony, which is around 120km from Ahmedabad. Due to monsoon weather I preferred to take bike ride and tune its engine on highway. Though this decision can be trouble making due to longride and slow driving for tuning the engine, but at the end everything gone quite well! Thanks to the CB-Trigger.
During that journey I covered 260km in a single day with average speed of 40-50kmph. Me and my pillow rider were still quite comfortable throughout in this long journey and reached safely and happily back in the late evening. Also, I was surprised to knew that Trigger gave 67kmpl mileage during this journey. Just recently I again measured the mileage in cityride and I was very happy to see that it served me 64kmpl in city area! This mileage was unbelievable for me from 150cc segment bike. I was really impressed with it and found that its worth the price in long run.
Till date I have driven more than 500km and not found any technical issue. Except I am feeling gear bit hard from initial day, and looking forward to be it smooth after some running or will get it checked during first service.
So, overall I am very happy with this bike but there are few cons which I have observed with this bike and that are:
- Gear shifting is bit hard(Can be a case with me only)
- Switch quality looks like Honda's commuter bike segment
- Gear padel is simple like Splendor or Passion (Though I liked it for keeping my shoes well)
- Silencer has got heat cover but looks like color is not so well sticked and getting scratches from foot, It would be greater if Honda has given extra foot pedal on it like Karizma or kept full black or steel.
Overall I am rating this bike 9/10 from my experience over Bajaj Pulser, Hero Karizma, Hero Xtream. I must admit that if you are looking for a good 150cc bike then definitely go for Honda CB-Trigger.
Feel free to post your comments and questions. Thank you for reading the lengthy article! :)
