Honda has revealed a teaser video of its upcoming 200cc motorcycle that's scheduled to launch on August 27. A closer look reveals an all new bodywork that's sharper and more aggressive as well. The bodywork looks similar to the Honda CBF 190R which is sold overseas and also which Honda patented in India last year. While Honda has remained tight lipped about the upcoming motorcycle, reliable sources inform us that it will be a 200cc bike. In all probability Honda will call its new 200cc motorcycle the Hornet 200R.
The new motorcycle gets large fuel tank extensions with a 3D Honda emblem as well as an engine cowl. It gets a sharp looking LED headlamp unit. The bike gets a fuel tank mounted ignition and a flush fitting aircraft style fuel filler cap. The new digital instrument console gets negative LCD layout with an additional gear position indicator. It gets a premium looking dual-tone blue and grey colour scheme as well.
Power comes from an air-cooled motor. For more details about power outputs, we will have to wait till launch. In terms of underpinnings, the Hornet 200R surprises us with a premium upside down fork which should help improve the motorcycle’s dynamics. Like most performance motorcycles, the Hornet 200R could get a monoshock suspension setup. Going by the raised handlebar, the Hornet 200R could get an upright riding position similar to the Hornet 160R.
The Honda Hornet will be the Japanese bikemaker’s largest manufactured motorcycle in India. When launched, we expect the Honda Hornet 200R to be priced around Rs Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete against the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200.
