Looking at this information, we can see why Road Prince users often feel the speed lag when they switch to Honda. The fact is that RP 70 has a displacement of 78cc as compared to CD 70’s 72cc. And being 2Kgs lighter might explain why RP 70 is faster in terms of acceleration. Other numbers seem slightly better on the RP 70’s chart. The top speed for RP 70 is 80 km/h, whereas CD 70 can do up to 97km/h.

Regarding fuel economy, RP 70 offers a mileage of 65 km/l, which is quite good. However, Honda CD 70 2023 has a fantastic fuel average. Under ideal conditions, CD 70’s mileage is 72 to 80 km/l. The carburettor upgrade helps in getting closer to Honda’s claimed figures. Overall, Honda felt to me smoother in its mechanics.

The latest models for both motorbikes were released this year, back in September.
