Listen to this article:
As of now, the specifications of the new Honda motorcycle are not known. The new motorcycle is expected to be based on the Hornet that the brand already sells. Honda 2 Wheelers India has filed a design patent in the Indian market for its new motorcycle. The design of the new motorcycle is of a neo-retro roadster. As of now, it is not known whether the brand will launch the new motorcycle in India or not. Sometimes the brand files a patent to protect the design language of the vehicle.
From the design, we can see a muscular fuel tank, a flat handlebar and slightly rear set footpegs. There are also tank shrouds and an engine cowl on offer. The tail section looks sleek and here is a tyre hugger on which the number plate will be mounted.
Other things that can be noticed are a single-piece seat, an upswept-exhaust, upside down forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear. Being a neo-retro motorcycle, all the elements on the motorcycle are circular to the headlamp, turn indicators and the instrument panel is circular in shape.
There are also alloy wheels on offer which means that there will be tubeless tyres. Braking duties will be done by a disc in the front as well as at the rear. There will also be a dual-channel anti-lock braking system on offer.
