Honda NX125 Patented in India; Launch Soon?

Honda has filed a patent application in India for the NX125 scooter, which is already available on the international market. Although the Japanese automaker hasn't revealed anything, we expect the two-wheeler to arrive here soon and compete with the TVS Ntorq 125. For the uninitiated, Honda currently offers two powerful monikers in the 125cc segment: the Dio and the Activa. With the launch of the NX125, the company may seek to enhance its position in the segment and respond strongly to rising competition.
