Just hearing 'premium bikes and EVs, back to back' already has me dying to know what models are coming.

What would 'premium' in India roughly compare to in terms of Japanese bikes?

Electric scooters make perfect sense in India, given the population and air pollution.

Honda's India strategy is pushing premium and electric both within the same year, quite hectic.

Even calling it 'premium for India', the displacement's probably not that big.
