Why is Honda delaying the launch of CB Hornet 160R?

The Honda CB Hornet 160R has been planned for the festive season. The bike seen on the Revfest was a production ready version, making the fact clear that the delay is willingly chosen and not due to technical reasons. Hornet 160R would be a great product from Honda as it mixes the style statement with the practicality of a Honda bike. It comes with a rear disc brake for better braking and a bigger rear wheel for better road grip. It gets aggressive styling instead of a conservative approach seen on all the other 150 cc commuter segment Honda bikes. The bike is expected with the same engine as Honda CB Unicorn 160, making it mileage friendly also. It is expected with a price tag of INR 80,000 and most probably would carry the Honda's signature technologies like CBS and HET.
