Reports about a new Honda motorcycle for
the Indian market started to surface the Internet recently. Likely to be named
as the CB Hornet 200R, this upcoming product is expected to replace the CB
Hornet 160R, which is the only Honda motorcycle in India that has not received
its BS6 update yet. While we already knew that Honda is going to launch a new
bike on 27 August, the company has now released a teaser video, which could be
of the CB Hornet 200R.
The teaser video reveals key features of
the new Honda motorcycle. The upcoming bike will have a full-LED headlamp with
a sharp design that should impart a bold front look to the motorcycle. Also
enhancing the front fascia will be a pair of USD forks painted in gold. Honda
has also included a fully-digital instrument cluster that will show details
such as tachometer, speedometer, gear position indicator, trip meters, clock,
and more.
If the motorcycle in the teaser video is
the Honda CB Hornet 200R, it will likely be powered by a 200cc engine. As can
be seen, it will be an air-cooled motor equipped with Honda’s HET technology
for ultra smoothness, high performance, and impressive fuel economy.
The new Honda motorcycle will also feature
a belly pan for added sportiness. The extended fuel tank shrouds will also
enhance the overall visual appeal. The single-piece handlebar suggests that the
riding position is likely to be relaxed and upright. For braking, there will be
disc brakes at both the ends with ABS. The alleged Honda CB Hornet 200R will
have a blue/grey dual-tone colour scheme along with a few others.
