Hero Ignitor Vs Honda Stunner

 Hello Bikers, I am back with a new comparision between the former partners Hero and Honda 125 cc beasts. All of my friends has query between them that "Ignitor best hai, kya look hai boss.... And SpeedoMeter to dekho mast hai" and "Stunner k kup jada hai".
So guys don't fight let's see a comparison.

The HONDA STUNNER uses VISCOUS Air Filter whereas the HERO IGNITOR uses the same air Filter as they have used for the HERO HONDA Hunk and CBZ xtereme. The basic advantage of the VISCOUS AIR FILTER is that it provides as hassle free ride and demands a low maintenance on the other hand the air filter of the Hero Corporation needs some maintenance after some time.

There is no digital Console for the HONDA STUNNER which provides the trendy and tough looks as compared to the HERO IGNITOR, having the neat and stylo look. Integrated front body cowl in the HONDA STUNNER provides a muscular look and the same thing lies in the HERO IGNITOR. But Hero Ignitor has a good clearance and new design. We can say that IGNITOR is a new and refined version of STUNNER which is quite better in looking.

Hero Ignitor's Combo Digital+Analog Speedometer, which is borrowed by the Hero Hunk.

The major difference in the riding of the STUNNER and IGNITOR is the initial acceleration and pick of the STUNNER and in the battle of pick-up STUNNER wins the field. The initial acceleration of STUNNER is 0-60 in 5.30secs while in IGNITOR it is 6.20 sec.

But the Honda Stunner feels vibrating some time when goes to a speed of 85-90 Kmph while the Ignitor runs smoothly.

The electrical system has same in both the bikes i.e. the battery capacity of STUNNER is of 3Ah and of IGNITOR it is of conventional HERO type is also 3Ah.

STUNNER and IGNITOR both provides the sporty split seat which is quite popular and attractive in the youngsters.

As far as the major technical terms are concerned the basic difference in the both bikes lies in the engine itself. The STUNNER uses the OHC single cylinder while the IGNITOR uses the ATFT technology.

As the dimensions of the two vehicles are concerned, there is not such a huge difference. Have a look to the dimension comparison of the two.

Specification Honda Stunner vs. Hero Ignitor:

Classification Criteria	HONDA STUNNER	HERO IGNITOR
Length	2012 mm	2101 mm
Width	734 mm	755 mm
Height	1113 mm	1115 mm
Ground Clearance	173 mm	175 mm
Weight	129 kg	129 kg

Price of Honda Stunner: Rs. 54,000 (ex-showroom)

Price of Hero Ignitor: Rs. 55,000 (ex-showroom) 

 Clearly Hero's Ignitor is launch after a good piece of work and the looking is quite better than Stunner. Ignitor can easily beat Stunner by its smooth acceleration in a drag race. Finally Ignitor wins.

Mahindra Centuro vs Honda Dream Neo

Honda Dream Neo vs Mahindra Centuro

Design and  build

The Centuro is the better looking of the two

The Mahindra Centuro reminds me a lot of the TVS Flame that was on sale a while ago especially the front end. It is an eye catching design with its golden “ribs” under the tank. It makes all my friends say “Kya design hain, boss!” I like the fact that it has a distance to empty reading in the instrument cluster as well as a trip meter. It saves me the trouble of pushing my bike to a fuel station if I run out of fuel, especially since these fellows at the petrol pump have stopped giving fuel in bottles. It also features a tonne of goodies like LED pilot lights, LED tail lights, a car-like key fob with a bike locater function, follow me home headlamp, a little torch on the key and a headlight that has much better throw than the Honda’s. Again, “Kya features hain, boss!”

The Centuro gets a completely digital instrument cluster with a speedo, tacho, trip meter, fuel gauge and a distance to empty display

The seat however isn’t that great. Two reasons – the foam is too soft and the seat itself isn’t wide enough. In comparison, the seat on the Dream Neo is wider and the foam is not as pliant. This means I’m not left sitting on the seat pan at the end of my work commute. And no, it’s not because I need to lose weight! The riding position too is much better in the Dream Neo. I was sitting more comfortably thanks to the fact that there was more space between my knees and the handlebar. When compared to the Centuro, the Dream Neo definitely felt like you were sitting on a bigger bike.

The Dream Neo looks identical to the Yuga

The Dream Neo’s clocks are pretty standard – just a speedo, odo and fuel gauge

Ride and Handling

I’m not one to go corner carving on my motorcycle. The most important aspect for me has to be a plush ride. But then it shouldn’t be so plush that with my wife and me sitting on it, the suspension keeps bottoming out. With this in mind, both the Dream Neo and the Centuro work for me. They both soak up undulations reasonably well.  The Dream Neo is a bit harsher while the Centuro feels more plush. Both bikes feel pretty stable over bad roads. The Centuro especially feels more planted while the Dream Neo’s harsher ride did make me think twice about going over bigger potholes. Even when it comes to braking the Centuro performs much better. The Dream Neo, well let me just say that the Centuro stops quicker. (Official test results show that the Centuro comes to a halt from 60kmph in 27.68m while the Dream Neo takes 28.65m). I rode both motorcycles in the rain and both of them felt quite stable. Even when taking sharp turns, they never seemed to get unsettled.

Engine and Performance

The 106.7cc motor of the Centuro gets a high pressure oil pump now

The brochures say that the Centuro uses a 106.7cc, air-cooled, single cylinder engine that makes 8.5PS at 7500rpm and 8.5Nm at 5500rpm. The Dream Neo uses a 109cc single cylinder engine that makes 8.3PS at 7500rpm and 8.6Nm at 5500rpm. All that doesn’t matter to me. What does matter is that the bike is just like the Splendor I learnt to ride on. All up gear shift pattern, I hear it is called.

The Honda’s motor now comes with Honda Eco Technology (HET) that promises more economy than before

The Honda’s engine has a lot more “dum”. One part where the Honda really stood out was when you needed to ride it around in light traffic. The Dream Neo feels more rideable. There are less gear shifts and I didn’t need to downshift every single time for an overtake. The Centuro on the other hand feels seriously lacking in this area. In fourth gear, if you want to quicken your pace a bit, you have to drop to third gear more often than not (the Centuro takes 26.4s to do 40-80kmph in 4th gear while the Honda takes just 17.3s).

Both motorcycles could manage around 85kmph on the occasional highway stretch on my commute. But then if you’re riding either bike at that speed, then there is just too much vibration. But at around 60-70kmph both motorcycles feel ekdum smooth. The Honda a little more than the Centuro. But not by much.

All this refinement and stuff don’t mean much to me but what does matter is the average. From that point of view it is the Honda that wins. It gives me 69.6kmpl in the city and 76.7kmpl on my occasional ride out of town. The Centuro on the other hand gives me 78.6kmpl on the highway and 65.4kmpl in the city. The Dream Neo has a 8 litre tank while the Centuro has a 12.7litre tank. With an average of 68.7kmpl (Centuro) and 71.4kmpl (Dream Neo) this lets you travel around 571km for the Honda and 872.5km for the Mahindra. Lesser fuel stops for the Mahindra then.

Verdict

Honda Dream Neo vs Mahindra Centuro

Now you will know why I am in so much confusion. Both these bikes are very close to each other in terms of performance and efficiency. But then there is the most important factor left to discuss. Price. The Honda Dream Neo costs Rs 50,426 while the Mahindra Centuro costs only Rs 44,784 (both ex-Mumbai). If I had to pick a bike without considering the brand, it would without a doubt be the Centuro. Despite all of Mahindra’s promises I am still not confident of how this bike will age. Likewise, the strongest case in the Dream Neo’s favour is that it is a Honda. But then there is that difference of Rs 5,642. For that price I get more features, performance and economy almost as good as the Dream Neo, and fresher styling. Saving some money while still getting an excellent product? Sounds like a great deal to me.
