The latest addition to the Honda CBR family will be the 500cc parallel twin cylinder CBR500R, making it the second entry level sports tourer bike after the CBR250R. Honda is still riding on the grand success of the CBR250R and bike has gained popularity in many upcoming markets around the world including India.
Honda showcased its latest 400cc parallel-twin motor which has been developed specifically for Asian markets and there is a high likelihood of it heading our shores
Honda unveiled its latest 400cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine in Japan. The engine isn’t a specially developed unit but a tuned-down version of the 470cc engine which is seen powering the CBR500R/CB500F/CB500X. The motor has been specially developed for JDM and Southeast Asian markets where 400cc is an important tier to adapt the various licensing regulations. Well, one might think what difference does that make for the Indian consumer but we feel the 400cc will make its way to our country the way the Ducati Monster 795 which was developed for ASEAN-markets.
