Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is all set to launch Honda CB Hornet 160R on 19th of November 2015. The company has not revealed any information about the product in the invitation, but we believe that it will be CB Hornet 160 R. There are chances that the company might also introduce its 125cc ‘mystery bike’, which was teased during the Honda Revfest, instead of CB Hornet. The Honda CB Hornet might be introduced as a replacement of CB Trigger and will lock its horn with Yamaha FZ, Suzuki Gixxer and others in the segment.
It is powered by 162.71cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which is equipped with Honda Eco Technology (HET). The company has used the same powertrain of Honda Unicorn 160R. The bike generates the 14.5 bhp at 8000 and 14.61Nm of peak torque at 6000rpm. According to the company, the engine helps the vehicle to offer high acceleration and sporty performance.

Overall it's a beast bike in this segment. The road grip is superb. The suspension is a little stiffer side but not so much. Just waiting for the BS6 version.
Very good bike in a 160 cc segment. Very stylish bike in India. Very good looking bike of the segment.
