The Honda CB1000 Hornet made its debut last year at the famous Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA 2023) in Italy. It replaces one of the company's most popular superbikes, the CB1000R. At that time, there was confusion about whether this Japanese bike would come to India. But now Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has filed a design patent for the CB1000 Hornet in India. It is being speculated that the 1000 cc bike may be available in the country soon.
