Honda Upcoming Bikes

If we take a look at the 150cc to 200cc bikes section, Honda doesn’t have a stylish title to depend on. Bajaj has the ever-expanding Pulsar model, TVS has Apache model and Yamaha has FZ model. These manufacturers have huge cult following which Honda’s Unicorn and Hornet haven’t been capable of spawn.

However taking a look at current gross sales traits, Unicorn 160 offered 11,203 items in July 2022 whereas it solely offered 1,906 items on June 2022.

There’s a enormous potential within the 160cc – 180cc house which rivals like Bajaj and TVS are making use of. When launched, it’ll tackle Pulsar N160, Apache RTR 160 4V and the likes.

However relating to scooters, Honda is the undisputed champion. With heavy lifters like Activa model in its bag, there isn’t a actual menace for Honda’s scooters. However to maintain the successful streak going, Honda appears to be launching a 125cc scooter. We hope it’s a maxi-styled scooter although as that’s the one section Honda has nonetheless not ventured into.

300cc – 350cc Bikes

In 200cc to 500cc class, there isn’t a beating Royal Enfield. In July 2022, Royal Enfield alone took the primary 5 spots with 48,840 items mixed.
