Honda is unquestionably one of the prime bike manufacturers in the world. Honda is clearly aiming for the top position, their former partner Hero has occupied for years now. And for the mission, Honda is banking big on its ‘Dream’ series of motorcycles. Dream Neo is a part of Honda’s Dream series motorcycles.

Honda had launched a new motorcycle ‘Dream Neo’ in 2013. The Dream Neo is slotted below the Yuga and competing with Hero’s Splendor and Bajaj’s Discover T.

The Honda Dream Neo is a cheap vehicle, priced at Rs 41,954-46,008 lakhs, making it the company’s cheapest two-wheeler in the country.

Though the Honda Dream Neo looks a lot like the Dream Yuga, there is a difference in the tail section and graphics that set apart the Dream Yuga from the Honda Dream Neo.

The Dream Neo gets an analogue speedometer and fuel gauge, a pass-light flasher, an 8-litre fuel tank, and a hinge-less fuel filler cap. The base model of the Dream Neo comes with a 18 inch wire spoke wheels while the higher variants are available with six spoke alloy wheels, in black.

The Neo is powered by a four stroke, air cooled, single cylinder refined 110 cc motor mated to a four-speed gearbox that is operated via a heel-and-toe shifter in an all-up pattern. The carburetted motorcycle generates a power of 8.25 bhp and a torque of 8.63 Nm. The Dream Neo is the first motorcycle based on the revolutionary Honda Eco Technology. HET is believed to improve power output and efficiency. The ARAI tested mileage figure, according to Honda is 74 kmpl for the Neo.

Though the Dream Neo weighs 105 kg in weight, on the move, the lightweight Neo feels nimble and its engine feels very responsive. The ride quality and handling is typical to Honda – it soaks up all the bumps and holes with ease, and the butter like handling only increases the experience.

The Neo has a front telescopic fork, rear hydraulic shock absorbers and powerful rectangular swing arm section that provide suspension features. The absence of an optional front disc brake sometimes takes the toll.

The Dream Neo comes with a long comfortable seat, long suspension travel, upright seating posture and wider handle bar. To make the new bike more agile and sprightly, Honda has extended the wheelbase to 1258 mm and has equipped it with a five-step adjustable suspension. The Neo comes with a build quality, fit and finish that is of top quality and is a worthy alternative to an entry-level motorcycle.

Dream Neo is now available in five colour variants – Amazing White, Black with Violet Stripes, Black with Red Stripes, Alfa Red and Monsoon Grey.
