Honda Hornet 2.0-Based ADV's India Launch On August 19 - What To Expect?

Honda Two-wheelers India is launching back to back new motorcycles in the Indian market. Just a few months ago, the company launched the new Honda CB 500X adventure tourer in India. However, the new CB 500X is an expensive motorcycle and so to target the mass-market audience, Honda is now coming up with an affordable ADV. The company will soon launch the Hornet 2.0-based ADV in India and it might be christened as Honda NX 200.
