There is a new addition to the already crowded Indian motorcycle market and it’s called the Honda CB Hornet 160R.
The street naked-style Hornet is the 15th launch by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt Ltd (HMSI) this year and has been priced at Rs 79,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

First showcased at the Honda RevFest 2015, the bike design is angular and the tank shrouds with carbon fibre pattern make it look aggressive. Honda has fitted 5-spoke split alloy wheels which are complimented by the short muffler.
It is on the rear, though, that the bike stands out visually, with the X-shaped LED tail lights and the wide 140mm rear tyre.
According to Honda, the CB Hornet 160R complies with Bharat Stage-4 emission regulation norms and is one of the first motorcycles in its category to do so.
