    2025 Honda CB300R Patented? Or Is This A New RE Hunter 350 Rival?

    2025 Honda CB300R PatentedHonda has patented a new motorcycle in India that takes a neo-retro Roadster approach. Going by Honda’s past patenting exercises, one would think that this is just a global vehicle and that the company is protecting its IP here in India. However, this looks like an affordable motorcycle that the company might launch in India.
    2025 Honda CB300R Patented?
    One look at this patent design, anyone would dismiss it as a CB300R with a slightly updated design to make it more neo-retro than it already is. This could be true as well. However, there seems to be more about this patent design than what meets the eye. On closer inspection, one can see that it has an air-cooled engine.
    For context, Honda CB300R has a liquid-cooled engine, which doesn’t have fins on the engine block for air-cooling. That said, liquid-cooled engines on Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles get these fins just for aesthetic purposes, which is great attention to detail. We can expect Honda to do something similar with 2025 CB300R.
    2025 Honda CB300R Patented
    If this is true, we might be looking at the new CB300R with an updated design it desperately needs. It gets a new LED headlight, almost identical to the one seen on global 2025 CB300R. There’s a new fuel tank with less clutter and simpler tank shrouds. There’s a beefier belly pan and more muscular body panels on rear subframe.
    Turn indicators are now circular and so are the instrument cluster and ORVMs. The main change can be seen at the rear where we get a new design with a tail tidy. Wheels and tyres look the same and the brakes seem to be carried over too. Exhaust end-can looks the same as current CB300R, with a new heat shield. USD front forks and rear mono-shock are carried over as well.
    Is this a Neo-Retro Hornet 2.0?
    There’s a good probability that Honda might be carving a new version of Hornet 2.0 that takes a neo-retro roadster design. Yamaha has used this formula and has created FZ-X, based on FZ street bike. If this is true, we can see the same 184.4cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that generates 17.3 bhp and 15.9 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
    New Honda Roadster Patented
    Given the higher performance ceiling, this new Honda Roadster motorcycle will rival the likes of TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Honda could achieve an excellent power-to-weight ratio, similar to CB300F and CB300R. For context, RE Hunter 350 delivers 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm but weighs up to 181 kg. We can expect it to launch by the end of 2025. More

    2025 Honda Livo
    Owing to its commuter roots, Honda Livo gets a long single-piece seat along with a conventional pillion grab rail. The main highlight with 2025 Honda Livo is the fully digital instrument cluster that shows a multitude of information like real-time mileage, ECO indicator, distance to empty (DTE), service due indicator and gear position indicator.
    Other notable additions include a side stand sensor with an engine cut-off feature. Componentry-wise, we still get the same RSU telescopic front forks, twin rear shock absorbers, 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 80/100 tyres and CBS (Combi Braking System).
    2025 Honda Livo Instrument Cluster
    Powertrains-wise, we get the same 109.51cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that is capable of generating 8.7 bhp of peak power at 7,500 RPM and 9.3 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. This powertrain is now OBD2B compliant too, like most new motorcycles in its segment.
    Statement from HMSI
    Introducing the updated Livo, Mr. Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “We are happy to announce the launch of the new 2025 Livo. At Honda, we are committed to setting new standards in the commuter motorcycle segment.
    The 2025 Livo reflects our dedication to delivering a premium experience for our customers in the 110cc category with its vibrant styling and new features. We are confident that the new Livo will strongly cater to the diverse needs of Indian riders.”
    Commenting on the launch, Mr. Yogesh Mathur, Director, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “The Honda Livo has been a trusted choice for our customers and with the 2025 model, we aim to further strengthen its position in the market.
    The integration of OBD2B technology underscores Honda’s commitment to sustainability and compliance with evolving regulations. By enhancing both technology and aesthetics, we aim to offer our customers a motorcycle that seamlessly combines innovation and practicality. We believe that it will be a trusted companion for riders across India to Live Life, Livo Style.” More

    Interesting design!
    The main highlight of Vayve Eva is that it gets a solar panel on its roof, which contributes to the vehicle’s range. Design-wise, Vayve Eva is quite simple and it has a narrow two-door car design. The two colours showcased are Pink and Blue, lending a chic appeal.

    Vayve Eva
    LED DRLs are connected and remind me of an MG Windsor. Wheels get a cover with contrasting body colour element that looks stylish and modern.

It has been visualised as India’s premium compact 2-seater car that is a solution for growing congestion in major cities like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and more. This is a new formula for electric cars and reception for which, is yet to be seen.

    2025 TVS iQube ST Concept Revealed At Auto Expo 2025 – Might Launch Soon

    2025 TVS iQube ST Concept
    At Auto Expo 2025, TVS Motor displayed a few concepts like Vision iQube Concept and RTS X Supermoto Concept. But the production-ready one was the 2025 TVS iQube ST Concept. It is based on current iQube ST and is inspired by Northern Lights and gets a unique colourway which is not sold with standard iQube ST.
    iQube ST Concept
    2025 TVS iQube ST Concept
    TVS Motor has had quite a few showcases at Auto Expo 2025. The most prominent among them was the Apache RTX 300, which was only displayed for a short time. Within the company’s scooter range, we have 2025 TVS iQube ST Concept that might launch as a special edition version soon.
    iQube ST Concept
    The company calls it ‘A symphony of elegance and innovation’. When compared to the standard model, this concept gets a few added goodies to set itself apart. This is a similar strategy that TVS has used with other scooters like NTORQ 125 and Raider 125 motorcycles.
    iQube ST Concept
    What stands out, is the new colourway on 2025 TVS iQube ST Concept. It looks like a gentle Teal shade with a hint of Green and a glittery pearlescent finish. Also, there’s a dual-tone effect on this concept where floorboard and seat gets a unique White shade. Seat upholstery looks premium as it gets a quilted pattern.
    iQube ST Concept 7-inch Touchscreen
    Notably, this concept gets a pillion backrest with cushioning, which is quite rare among the electric scooters sold in India. TVS Motor has also incorporated interesting graphics on this vehicle in White shade that looks rather nice on the base colour. The mentions that this concept is inspired by Northern Lights.
    iQube ST Concept
    Any new features?
    Where features are concerned, this Concept gets a 7-inch touchscreen instrument dashboard, alloy wheels, front disc brake and square ORVMs with minimal bezels. All of these are on offer with Standard iQube ST as well.
    iQube ST Concept
    This is a cosmetic exercise and hence stays identical to standard model, where powertrains are concerned. Battery options include 3.4 kWh and 5.1 kWh. The latter is India’s biggest battery pack option in any scooter and promises a real-world range of 150km on a single charge.

    TVS RTS X Supermoto & Vision iQube Concepts Unveiled At Auto Expo 2025

    TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept (Right) and Vision iQube Concept (Left)At 2025 Auto Expo, TVS Motor took the cover off a few interesting concepts, two of which grabbed our attention a lot. We’re talking about TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept and Vision iQube Concept that look rather good, showcasing a glimpse of the company’s future design direction.
    TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept
    RTS X Supermoto Concept
    This is the first time TVS Motor is trying the Supermoto genre. As seen in the pictures, TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept is still far off from the production line. Mainframe of this motorcycle looks similar to that of Apache RTR 310, while subframe is entirely new. This subframe even houses an under-seat exhaust, which looks rather neat.
    TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept Under-seat Exhaust
    There’s a long single-piece seat that is set too high to offer a high-riding posture with 875mm seat height. Bodywork includes an edgy fuel tank, muscular tank shrouds finished in a translucent effect, a flat LED headlight with a sharp front beak, partial front fork covers and knuckle guards.
    TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept
    Engine start button is below a fighter-jet-inspired toggle on fuel tank, which means it gets a keyless go feature. There’s also a pill-shaped instrument cluster. USD front forks were not adjustable and TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept gets 17-inch wheels on both ends with fat rubber.
    TVS RT XD4 Engine
    It weighs 144 kg and can sprint to 60 km/h in 2.8s and 100 km/h in 6.3s. It is powered by a 299cc engine, probably the new RT XD4 engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Supermoto genre is not exactly popular in India. KTM is likely to be contemplating launching 390 SMC R here. Once that happens, TVS might be prepping a rival for it under Apache RTS sub-brand.
    TVS Vision iQube Concept
    Vision iQube Concept
    TVS Motor currently sells iQube range of electric scooters in India with fixed and rechargeable battery options. However, the company seems to be visualising a future where swappable battery tech holds prominence. That’s exactly what TVS Vision iQuve Concept showcased at Auto Expo 2025, seems to be signifying.
    TVS Vision iQube Concept
    Even with design perspective, this futuristic concept vehicle is an astonishing piece. The size quotient has been increased massively. It is much longer and significantly wider than current iQube scooter. Handlebar on this scooter is exposed and they get two square digital screens that seems to take care of switchgear functions.
    TVS Vision iQube Concept
    In place of an instrument cluster, we can see a HUD (Head Up Display). Diamond-shape LED headlight, single-piece seat, muscular side body panels, extending tail section with an inverted ‘U’ shaped LED tail light, massive disc brakes at both ends and fat tyres are notable attributes of TVS Vision iQube Concept.
