Right after KTM finally brought its large-capacity motorcycles to India, Honda seems to be on the same route. According to a dealer presentation leak, Honda might bring in five big-displacement models to India, which also includes a scooter. All four models will be CBUs and will be sold through Honda’s BigWing dealerships.
Honda to launch five two-wheelers
As per the leaked dealer presentation, the five models that will make it to India are the Honda CBR650R, Honda CB650R, Honda CB750 Hornet, Honda CB1000 Hornet, and the X-ADV scooter. The Honda CB650-series have been on sale in India previously as well, so the models coming are the latest versions and there is no surprise in that.

The other three are more interesting. The Honda CB750 Hornet is a street-naked based on the same engine that powers the Honda Transalp, which is on sale in India. This makes sense as the KTM 890 Duke R is also on sale and Honda can get the pricing right, it could be a great alternative. The 750cc engine on the Hornet makes 91bhp and 75Nm of torque. The Honda CB1000 Hornet follows a similar style and will replace the CB1000R.

The off-road-styled scooter has found success in many global markets and is powered by a twin-cylinder engine that makes 57.8bhp and 69Nm of torque mated to a DCT gearbox. The Honda X-ADV gets USD forks, spoked wheels, and a host of other features to make it off-road worthy.
