Honda Eterno May Get Discontinued?

Honda Eterno,the geared scooter attempt from HMSI after testing success in gear less scooters may face axe. Even though the news is awaiting confirmation from HMSI,the sales trend of this scooter depicts the rumour is true.

Honda Eterno was a fully packaged geared scooter with all good features from a motorcycle and scooter. HMSI is offering this as an alternative to Bajaj Chetak and LML Vespa NV.The reasons may be many from boring looks,heavy and bad handling etc.Interestingly this is not the situation only for Honda Eterno. Story is same with all other geared scooters,whether it is Bajaj Chetak or LML Vespa.

But there is good side, if HMSI is actually planning to discontinue Honda Eterno you can expect much more great products in coming years.That will be good plan ,hope you will also agree.Because HMSI can completely focus on their new product line ups including new Activa and sports bikes currently in pipe line.
