Hornet 160R: More than we expected

Summary

This is my first bike after through reviewing all bikes. Styling is good and one could easily relate to the CX-01 concept from Honda.
This is my first bike after through reviewing all bikes. Styling is good and one could easily relate to the CX-01 concept from Honda. Power and mid range torque is good but slightly lesser than Gixxer. Wider seat and it is comfortable for pillion. Braking is very good with the petal discs. Around 1500 kms has been over in my bike. Highway driving is excellent. Suspension is not a problem. It's better to go slow on the bad roads. Mileage is above 45kmpl for a normal city ride.

✨ Best Features

Muscular tank, Raised handle bar, wider tyres

👍 Pros

Good styling, better mileage, comfortable ride quality

👎 Cons

Engine Kill switch, Average lighting

Have completed 3056 kms and the sail is smooth going. The bike has best performance in the segment. Can beat ANY 150 cc under 1 lakh. Mileage I got is 54 kmpl highest and 37 kmpl (cruising at 110 kmph). Still you can make the bike go to 132 kmph. It comes from 100-0 in just few seconds. One word just go for it!!! It's Built After You!!

Honda CB Hornet 160R is an Expensive Toy

Summary

All fine but pillion seat is small. After 50 kmph the engine starts to make noise.
All fine but pillion seat is small. After 50 kmph the engine starts to make noise. Gear shifter is a nonsense for a premium bike.

✨ Best Features

Tuned for Racing

👍 Pros

Tuned for power & pick up

👎 Cons

Gear shifter is from Rajdoot era! 1 N 2 3 4.. the neutral is a pain ; after paying 90 grand one would expect all down or up. Shifting gear up down with toe alone really s*cks!
