I Finally Bought my very own Honda DIO!! I have been wanting one of these since ages now, and it finally arrived on thursday! Customisation has already begun...Obviously!!

First new vehicle on "the new and improved" Team-BHP. Congratulations.
How did you choose yellow of all colours?
I hope you have bought a good helmet. Ride safe.

@ cyrus: Congrats on new set of wheels!
What's 'AAA' lettering above headlamp? And is this customisation a real job or a photoshop job?

musicmanaman · 28th June 2009, 09:21

Good choice, Dio's are quite good.

The body is complete fiber I suppose, so no rust just pannel changes if damaged, fantastic isn't it.

That is an honor by itself!! I do have a Good Helmet, Spent 2.5K on it!! But Safety is most important!! Also, I wanted something Different from the usual Red and Ble...I wanted something FLASH!!!

AAA is Automobile Association of America. No photoshop on this one, the mods are 100% Real!!

Congrats on the purchase Cyrus. Are these pics of the bike when you bought it? Or are these pics of the bike after you have customised it?

Either ways the mods look good. What else has been planned?

pranava999 · 28th June 2009, 11:07

Congrats. Really like the yellow and Black combo, however the combo seems so familiar

rjstyles69 · 28th June 2009, 13:55

Congratulations cyrus, now I know why my wife was keen on this very shade of the DIO. I kinda found it whacky initially when we picked up one about 3 months back in the same color.

Dippy · 28th June 2009, 14:00

You got a kaali peeli on two wheels as well. Now thats one flashy scooter and a flashy rider. Is your helmet yellow too?

Congratulations Cyrus, the bike looks great. Its a great city runabout.

Cyrus43 · 28th June 2009, 15:32

No Cartman!!....The Helmet is white!!

@V12, These are the pics after customisation was complete...Mre Mods will be a few engine mods I wanna do, but those will come later!!

Cyrus43 · 29th June 2009, 00:10

Great! Now that will be a wonderful sight and ruly bring out the coolness of that yellow shade.

indiandevil · 29th June 2009, 10:44

Haha thats funny, great color combination on your scooter, does truly match the Transformer counterpart. Which reminds me, that I saw the new Camaro in yellow on the street here in the US, looks like a beast, waiting to see one in India.

That coming from a man who insists on sticking stupid graphics to everything he owns

Congratulations. Now get rid of the matt black wheels.
