The sporty decals and the word ‘HORNET’ get white printed to make it even more attractive. The black shrouds feature the logo Honda in white. The geometrically-shaped mudguard and the chiselled engine cowl protect the rider and the engine from mud and dirt.

The bike is built on a diamond frame and linked to a sophisticated suspension system. The golden colour upside-down front forks make the bike look extremely attractive. It is the first-in-segment bike to feature premium shock absorbers. The rear monoshock enhances the bike’s aerodynamics and brings more balance to it.

The bike has a step-up seat that is 590 mm long. It provides a comfortable riding experience by distributing the weight evenly of both the rider and the pillion. The rear portion of the bike tail features a sleek grab rail and a taillight. The blacked-out upswing exhaust pipe complements the bike’s overall sporty appeal.
