Context
Why does this story matter?
The Honda Dunk is a lightweight scooter with good looks and excellent mileage. It should rack up quite a few sales in Japan. If the two-wheeler proves to be a success in the country, it might also make its way to India. If the vehicle does arrive on our shores, the competition in the two-wheeler market will be raised considerably.

The scooter packs a USB charging port, a multifunction keyhole, a halogen headlamp flanked by bulb indicators, and rides on blacked-out alloy wheels. It has an exposed handlebar, a low seat height of 730mm, and tips the scales at just 81kg.
