With an aspiration for a dynamic lifestyle, riding community is getting performance oriented and look forward to a big bike experience.”

The sporty streetfighter comes equipped with a 293 cc single-cylinder four-valve SOHC engine with oil-cooling technology. It is loaded with features including Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for better stability during slippery conditions. It also comes with a dual-channel ABS system as standard along with an assist and slipper clutch.
