Weekly News Wrapup: Honda X-Blade BS6, Benelli Imperiale 400 BS6, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R Launched And More

This week witnessed a flurry of launches and other developments

Honda X-Blade BS6 Launched

After the Grazia 125 BS6 and the Livo BS6, Honda further strengthened its portfolio with the launch of the X-Blade this week.

This is the first time the Japanese brand has hiked the prices of the four motorcycles since their launch earlier this year.
