Honda introduces New Dio at Auto Expo

Honda Motorcycles Scooters India (HMSI) has introduced the newer and upgraded version of its existing Dio scooter at the Auto Expo 2010.

New Dio has been given a new and refreshing look. New Dio tries to blend the looks of a motorcycle with the comfort of a scooter.

The new Dio also features a new meter console design, sporty handle bar cap, stylish two-tone seat, mirror design, attractive clear winkers, sporty muffler protector, stylish Pivot arm-cover and new fender.
