Honda NXR 160 Bros - Your New Mate Wherever You Go

Well readers, we already discussed quite in detail about the bike Honda NXR 160 Bros. Wish you have gotten comparatively a clearer picture of that awesome dual terrain machine from Honda motorcycle.

You know we are fortunate enough that we are getting some new bikes just after launching in the international market from the last year. But we are also unfortunate that still, we are not getting quality bikes in every segment. The rolling motorcycle companies and importers in our country only marketing street racing bikes, whereas most of the roads & terrains of Bangladesh don’t remain in good condition.

Moreover, our riders are now more habituated with motorcycle touring in countrywide and even international. So definitely we need some capable dual-purpose machine. Therefore Honda NXR 160 Bros can be a capable companion for our riders which can be a new mate wherever we want to go. Wish the companies and importers will put their concentration on this unlighted segment.
