Not a good bike to invest in

Ashish Kumar Sharma | 2 years ago

After owning the Honda Hornet, I have come to realize that it doesn't quite measure up to the Honda Hornet 160r. The rear disk brake is incredibly noisy when I apply the brakes. I took it to the service center, and they changed the brake pads, but the sound got even worse. The rear suspension was also noisy when I moved the bike or even sat on it. The starting pickup was abysmal. It would start like it had low fuel, and after 10 minutes of driving the engine would return to its normal range. The mileage was incredibly low, clocking in at less than 40km/l. The date also gets reset automatically every day, which is incredibly strange. The lighting was not as good either. The low pickup engine made me fall off the bike, which was really concerning as it couldn't move properly.

Excellent bike with great build quality and a stylish look

Charu Jain | One year ago

Honda Hornet 2.0 is an excellent bike with great build quality and a stylish look, especially with the X-Back light. It's especially suited for short riders due to its bulky frame. After owning it for 5 years, I have had no issues with its performance.

The only downside I have found is the poor quality of the side guard. After an unfortunate accident, the side guard was unable to support the bike and it fell on my leg. It is only bolted onto the round chassis of the bike, which is not ideal for safety.

The combination braking system does not offer the best control. When you brake and the handle is slightly crossed, the control goes off due to the combination braking system. This system is not suitable for bulky bikes.

A terrible product

Md Shafi Imran | One year ago

I have had a terrible buying experience with the Honda Hornet. The customer service was downright appalling and I felt like I was being treated like a beggar. The riding experience is just good, but it is not up to the mark. The looks and performance are great, but the plastic items and switches are of very poor quality. The stickers had started coming off after just 800 kms. The engine and USB paint also got removed. The ground clearance is less. In conclusion, I think the Honda Hornet is a terrible product.

An excellent choice for city commuting

Vijay Kumar Dahiya | 2 years ago

When it comes to city commuting, the Honda Hornet 2.0 is an excellent choice. Lightweight at 142kgs, the bike is easy to handle and maneuver through tight spaces. The engine is smooth and refined, and the bike looks great with its 110/70 & 140/70 tyres. The brakes are great, giving you complete control over the bike. The mileage of 40km/l is great for city commuting, and the gear shifts are smooth as butter. The low and mid-range performance is best in the class, and although it lacks a 6th gear, it is more than enough for city use.

The initial issues like engine heating and noise from rear brakes can be resolved after the first service. Some bikes may also have a lockset issue, but this should resolve itself in a month or so, or a new lockset can be installed.

Overall, the Honda Hornet 2.0 is an excellent choice for city commuting. It is lightweight, powerful, looks great, and has great mileage and performance. Highly recommended for a smooth and pleasurable riding experience.

Love it!

The Honda Hornet is a great choice for the everyday rider. It's comfortable, stylish and reliable. The engine is smooth and powerful enough to get you around town or on the highway. It has great fuel economy and is perfect for those who don't want to break the bank on gas. The bike has a great look and feel, too. It looks okay the road and is attractively priced. The Hornet is a great buy and I highly recommend it.
