Hero Honda CD 100, Back in 1983, then Hero collaborated with Honda. Hero Honda was born and the first bike they launched was the CD 100. From then on this bike created history. Here is why the bike caught India’s fancy and why it should have a reserved space on a pedestal.

Birth of the Hero Honda

Then Hero Honda understood this need and launched the Hero Honda CD 100. The CD 100 was a rather simple motorcycle. It sported a simple design complete with chromed out metal mudguards, a rectangular headlamp and also a rather basic instrument panel. The large seat offered ample space too. But what made the CD 100 different was its engine. The bike was powered by a 96cc 4-stroke engine generating a 7.5bhp and 7.2Nm of torque. The bike featured a 4-speed gearbox.
