Honda has some real brilliant machines in its international line-up and we are specifically talking about the affordable segment.

Another motorcycle which we have added to our – ‘We want in India‘ list is this – the new 2019 CBR 400R. A rival against Ninja 400, it was recently unveiled by the brand in Japan.
