Which one is better in terms of quality and ride – Honda CB Hornet 160R, Bajaj Pulsar AS150, Suzuki Gixxer or Yamaha FZ?
02 January 2023 06:32
All the above considered 150 cc bikes are excellent options but the best and the most refined out of all would be the Suzuki Gixxer. It perfectly balances the power production to a perfect mileage, making it the best option out of all the above listed bikes. It gets a 154.9 cc engine producing 14.6 BHP and 14 NM of torque. The gearbox used in this segment is a 5-speed manual unit and all the bikes come with nearly the same values in real life performance. Gixxer 155 gets a muscular body and comes with sharp fuel tank design. The SF version of the same gets full fairing and gets a special motoGP version also. The series comes with a starting price of INR 75,000.
Is Honda CB Hornet 160R equipped with a fuel injector?
02 January 2023 06:32
The CB Hornet 160R is said to be with the same engine as the CB Unicorn 160. The 162.71 cc motor is air cooled and fuel supplier used is carburettor, which reduces the chances of the CB Hornet being a fuel injected motorcycle. The newcomer will redefine the Honda's design lineup, which has been commuter based even on the 160 cc segment. Hornet 160R comes with an aggressive design, looking more like a street fighter rather than a commuter. It gets a chiselled fuel tank with sharp cowls for enhanced styling. The one displayed on Revfest also had a rear disc brake on a relatively large wheel when compared to other Honda bikes in the segment, making it more safe and comfortable to ride. The expected on-road price of the Honda CB Hornet 160R is below INR 90,000 and it would launch in the month of October 2015.
What is the mileage for the Honda CB Hornet 160R?
02 January 2023 06:30

Honda CB Hornet has been displayed at the Honda Revfest and the bike comes with few differentiations from other Honda products in the segment. The bike comes with a sport oriented design whereas all the Honda bikes of the segment are commuter based with lesser detail on the design factor. Hornet gets a sport oriented small exhaust, which normally is a long cylindrical unit in most of the bikes. The alloy wheel design is quiet impressive as all other get a 6 spoke simple alloy design. The bike is expected with the same engine as the Honda Unicorn 160, with little chances of it being a further tuned unit. Mileage figure would be totally dependent on the engine tuning and the expectations are close to 40-45 kmpl.

What are the exact tech specs of Honda CB Hornet 160R?
02 January 2023 06:29
The exact technical specifications of the Honda CB Hornet 160R has not been disclosed by the company. From its name, we expect the bike to be a sportier version of the new Unicorn 160, which is more like a commuter bike with a 160 cc engine. The Hornet 160R comes with a double disc brake arrangement, in which each wheel gets a disc brake. With Honda's CBS, the bike would be excellent at braking and the HET would lead to a better mileage for the bike. The 162.71 cc engine from the Unicorn 160 is expected to produce 14.5 BHP and 14.61 NM of torque from the CB Hornet. It is expected with a 5-speed gearbox and comes with a sharp and aggressive designing. The bike comes with a flat rear tyre for better looks and the X shaped tail light would surely be the center of attraction.

02 January 2023 06:29
The technical specifications of the bike has not yet been revealed and would not misguide you with some fake details by simply looking at the design of the bike. The most expected details for the CB Hornet 160R can be taken from the nearest sibling, the Unicorn 160. The expected engine being the 162.71 cc, 1-cylinder motor is expected to produce the same power figures, 14.5 BHP and 14.61 NM. The midship exhaust and the street bike look would be the all new feel from the Honda lineup as all the previous bikes are more commuter focused. The bike will get a rear disc brake and the tail light design is one of its kind. The chiseled tank makes it look better than many in the segment and we expect it to be priced for INR 80,000. The HET would make it a mileage friendly bike and the top speed would be disclosed at its time of launch.
