BREAKING: Multiple New Bikes Incoming From Honda

The bikemaker hopes to challenge Hero MotoCorp’s domination in the Indian market

Atsushi Ogata, President, MD and CEO of Honda Two-wheeler India has revealed that the Japanese giant has two motorcycles lined up for the Indian market in the immediate future. 

There are 160cc and 300-350cc bikes in the pipeline from Honda. We suspect the bikemaker would try to introduce both these motorcycles before the BS6-2 OBD regulations kick in from April 1 2023. 

While Honda, too, is plagued by the shortage of semiconductors, the demand for two-wheelers is gathering steam with the reopening of schools and offices, Ogata said.

The 160cc bike is likely to be a more premium alternative to the Honda Unicorn, something to go up against the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar N160. It’s likely that the 300-350cc bike, on the other hand, will be an adventure/touring motorcycle based on the Honda CB300F’s 293cc engine, something similar to what the brand did with the Hornet 2.0 and CB 200X. While we found the CB300F a rather underwhelming bike when we rode it, we hope that things would get better if Honda decides to offer it in a more touring-friendly  format.
