Why does this story matter?
The Honda Click 160 is a good-looking vehicle with lots of features and is expected to attract many customers in the Thai market. If the two-wheeler makes its way to our shores, it will be a completely built unit (CBU) and should be priced keeping in mind the competition. The rivalry in the maxi-scooter segment will also be raised considerably.
