Hey everyone! We’re just running a quick clarification on the Honda BeAT that was featured in the “Motorcycle” section of this month’s CoverStory.
The photo we used was, erroneously, the Fuel Injected version of the Honda BeAT. This variant of the BeAT is, unfortunately, not currently offered in the country.
