New Honda CB Hornet 160R design

The Honda CB Hornet 160R will be a good looking motorcycle that resembles the regular Hornet 160 R. It will look very sporty and will have a stylish full fairing. A large headlight will grace the centre and will also have LEDs. The instrument cluster will resemble that of the regular Hornet. Apart from the fairing, all other parts will be the same as the regular Hornet 160R. These include the sculpted fuel tank, sleek seat, two-piece grab rail and also the exhaust. The tail light will also have the same X design. The fairing means that the design of the motorcycle will not see any major changes.

New colors for the Honda CB Hornet 160R

The faired version of the Honda CB Hornet 160R will be available in five color variants. These will probably

• Neo Orange Metallic
• Pearl Amazing White
• Pearl Siren Blue
• Pearl Nightstar Black
• Sport Red

New colours may also be introduced. Perhaps a Repsol edition. However, we expect this to be for the CBR 150 rather than the Hornet.

New Honda CB Hornet 160R engine

The 162.71 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine produces 15.6 bhp at 8,500 rpm and offers a maximum torque of 14.76 Nm at 6,500 rpm. This engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The engine has enough power for city riding. It also cruises comfortably. Only when you need more power on the highway, it lacks a little. The acceleration of the bike is linear and the exhaust sound is also the same. Technically, nothing will change in the bike and the fully faired version of the Honda CB Hornet 160R will deliver similar performance to the naked version.
