Honda Hornet 2.0 Repsol Edition launched, is inspired by Honda RC 213V

Honda has launched the Repsol Edition of the Hornet 2.0 in the Indian market. The new livery of the 180cc motorcycle has been introduced to commemorate Honda’s 800 Grand Prix victories in MotoGP.

The Honda Hornet 2.0 was launched in India earlier this year. It was the Japanese brand’s entry in the 180-200cc segment. The new motorcycle carries a sporty design to lure in more young buyers. Now, with the latest Honda Hornet 2.0 Repsol Edition, the company has given the customers another reason to pick this motorbike.

Inspired by the Honda RC 213V MotoGP bike, the new Hornet 2.0 Repsol Edition features the iconic orange, white, and red combination with ‘Repsol’ written in bold letters on the side of the motorcycle. Also, the orange wheels accentuate the overall racing theme.
