The Japanese two-wheeler giant has been focusing on the premium end of the market for a while now
The all-new Honda CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet SP have been launched in India. In the last few years, this segment of the Indian market has displayed steady growth. Influential personalities and avid riders often want motorcycles with massive engines. That is where such products come into the picture. In India, this is still a niche space.
