Recently Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India (HMSI)’s President, Atsushi Ogata, hinted towards launching a new sporty 150cc motorcycle (You can read about it here), and they have already patented the CBR 150R.
Honda has now decided to patent the CRF 190L, but it doesn’t mean that the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has already decided to launch these motorcycles in India.
