Needless to say, the use of the new orange and red MotoGP livery visually enhances the exterior sporty appeal of the scooter. Also, it won't be a surprise if the company launch a limited-edition version of the scooter for the regular customers in the future.

Honda Vario 160 is available in two trims - CBS and dual-channel ABS. While the former has been priced at RP 25,800,000 (approx. 1.34 lakh), the latter costs RP 28,500,000 (approx). The latest 2022 Honda Vario 160 joins the already existing Vario scooter line-up that includes models such as the Vario 125 and Vario 150. Both the models are quite popular in the Indonesian market. At the heart of the scooter sits a 160cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is known to push out 15 bhp of maximum power backed up with 13.4 Nm of peak torque.
