Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is developing a new 100cc motorcycle that will release in the first few months of 2023.

With its new commuter, the business is expected to appeal to the broader market by promising great mileage at a reasonable price—the further Honda 100cc motorcycle details have not been made available.
