During the festive season, most motorcycle manufacturers typically see a sharp rise in sales. In a bid to lure more buyers, motorcycle companies typically launch special editions of their popular models during this time period. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has also introduced a special edition of the CB Hornet 160R.
