The
Honda CB Hornet 160R in a faired avatar will be introduced in the Indian market
this financial year. The faired Honda CB Hornet 160R is expected to
retain the Hornet’s exhaust canister, alloy wheels, and tail section.
The bike
shall also continue with the conventional handlebars instead of clip-ons, to
save on costs. The powertrain will be the same 162.71 cc carburetted,
air-cooled mill coupled to a 5-speed gearbox, putting out 15.04 bhp of maximum
power and 14.76 Nm of peak torque.
Confirmation on either of the products is awaited
but the second motorcycle is a ‘fun’ product, which fits the description of the
faired CB Hornet.
The new Honda CB Hornet 160R variant is expected to
be priced at least 10 percent higher than the sticker price of the naked
roadster which is set at INR 87,075 (ex-showroom Mumbai).
