The Neo’s 8-litre fuel-tank feels slender, and comes with a hinge-less fuel filler cap. The base model Dream Neo comes with 18-inch wire-spoke wheels while higher variants are available with six-spoke alloy wheels, in black. The Dream Neo’s engine, frame and exhaust are also finished in black. At the rear, the Neo uses a simplistic tail-light and jaded looking tubular grab handle. Overall quality and fit and finish are however up to the mark, as expected on any Honda motorcycle, and the Neo faces no issues here. 

The Dream Neo shares its HET enabled, four-stroke, 109cc, air-cooled and single-cylinder engine with the Dream Yuga. There’s a four-speed gearbox, operated via a heel-and-toe shifter in an all-up pattern. The carburetted motorcycle makes 8.25bhp of maximum power at 7500rpm. The clutch feels light, and works with good progressive feel as apt on a city commuter like this. Power delivery is step free, and the engine pulls well from low in the powerband, making this an easy motorcycle to ride in urban India.
