In a year of government approval for stronger motorcycles upto 375cc engines on local roads, Bangladesh Honda Private Ltd (BHL) has launched its 185cc Hornet 2.0 at Tk2.89 lakh.

The new Hornet featuring an assist and slipper clutch system, programmed fuel injection technology, Showa-built upside down front fork, and Bosch-made single channel anti-lock braking system is available nationwide in four colors - Matte Sangria Red Metallic, Matte Marvel Blue Metallic, Matte Axis Grey Metallic and Pearl Igneous Black.

"With advanced features and cutting-edge technology, we are giving riders the perfect blend of performance and excitement. This launch is a testament to our commitment to delivering world-class innovation and elevating the riding experience in Bangladesh," BHL Managing Director and CEO Shigeru Matsuzaki said at the virtual launching event on Friday.

While introducing the features of the Hornet 2.0, BHL Chief Marketing Officer Shah Muhammad Ashequr Rahman said, "Being a formidable combination of energy and sportiness, Hornet 2.0 is an essence of massive naked street sports styling and aggressive performance in its DNA."

Hornet series was globally launched in 1996 and its 165cc model hit the Bangladesh roads in February 2018. 

According to industry insiders, there are around 45,000 Hornet 165 cc motorcycles on local roads. 

Having LED-lighting, 140mm wide rear and 110mm wide front tyres, an advanced digital meter console Hornet 2.0 engine can produce 16.6 Ps power at 8,500 RPM and 15.4 Nm torque at 6,000 RPM that makes it enjoyable for both daily commuting and weekend rides.

Uttara Motors, the manufacturer and distributor of Bajaj, in November 2023 launched the Pulsar N 250 at nearly Tk3.4 lakh as the first higher cc commuter in Bangladesh.

Later, in February this year, Hero launched its 210cc Karizma XMR at nearly Tk4 lakh.

By 30 June this year, over 1,400 of the two models were sold in Bangladesh.

After more than two decades of restrictions on motorcycles having over 150-165cc engines, Bangladesh last year allowed stronger ones up to 375cc engines for local roads, only if the motorcycles are manufactured in local plants.
