Honda CB Hornet 200R India launch today: Expected price, features, specs of Apache, Pulsar rival!

Powering the Honda CB Hornet 200R is an air-cooled engine and the gearbox will most likely be a five-speed unit. The engine output is expected in the region of a little over 20hp to keep up with the competition. Here is what all to expect from Honda's upcoming Pulsar, Apache challenger!

Some may be thinking that Honda is a little late to the party! The CB Hornet 200R that is all set to be launched in India today will be rivaling against the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 in the highly competitive naked 200cc streetfighter segment. A few days back, the company dropped a teaser of its upcoming 200cc bike and it looks heavily inspired by the CBF190R – the same moniker for which the company had filed a patent in India some time back. A few days back, we had reported that the bike in question will be the more powerful version of the CB Hornet 160R. Given the nomenclature that Honda used for the now-retired 160cc model, the latest offering in all certainty might be called the Honda CB Hornet 200R.
