Honda User Reviews - Page 5

Its a good bike bt not the best in its class. The best thing is 5th gear. By which you can ride it smoothly on highways and city also. And mileage also good. Now it's giving me 45kmpl on city use. I wish it would increase by 10-15kmpl after 2-3 servicing.

Best Features: Sound and mileage

Pros: Sound, comfortable back seat and front also, without servicing 45 kmpl. its good as its power.

Cons: Handling, vibration occurs upto 50kmph, low build quality, head lamp shakes on road, price too high like 150cc

Dear Friends, I am siva reddy, I purchased hornet 160R (STD) on january 28th 2016. I feel so happy ,but few a days i dissappointed. my bike repair so many times. one time my bike chain problem.second time Digital meter problem.third time battery problem and not satisfied service centres.

Best Features: disk brake comfort and good mileage

Pros: I like good look and mileage.

Cons: bike parts

I have purchased 3 week ago... I found realibility.. Feel power & good mileage.. in good sense But chain drive noise and & rear suspension having some issues....during drive.. overall I love my Hornet.

Best Features: Only look & style. and mileage

Pros: Looks & riding comfort

Cons: Vibration during top speed (80 kmph+)

I have completed 4500 km in 5 months. It delivers good power in roads as well as in off roading. Really surprised with mileage (52-55Kmpl). But Honda again repeats common mistake in the case of engine kill switch. Better road grip in snow, rainy roads and off roading (Rosemala, in kerala). Only feeling chain loose problem but I am not feeling bad about it. Build quality is unbeatable.

Best Features: Combi brakes gives best safer braking, best in mileage for segment bike

Pros: Better mileage (53-55kmpl) ,Awesome braking (combi), Effective mono shock (highways and off roading), Best look, Safer in cornering.

Cons: Very disappointed about engine kill switch, chain loosing problem, Poor switch console (comparing to bajaj,yamaha,suzuki)

Done 9500 kms. Going great. Engine is great not peppy still powerful. Premium feel. Confident riding. Nice agility and balance. Head to head with Gixxer.

Best Features: Muscular tank. chunky tyres. powerful engine.

Pros: Good road presence Good engine Powerful Commuterish at lower RPM and beast at higher RPM. 110kmh still can go higher

Cons: No engine kill switch is a big miss. Service by EVM Honda is piss poor. Gear indicator missing

Nice for city use Smooth engine but heats up quickly Pickup is very nice I personally tested speed is- On 2nd gear 0-30 km/hr On 3rd gear 30-80 km/hr & Further I have no need to use top gears

Best Features: 2nd gear 0-30 & 3rd gear 30-80+

Pros: Smooth & nice pickup

Cons: Engine heats up quickly

Average. I'm not satisfied .and bike back wheel too small. and looking very Bad. Bike self starting is so kind of problem .very deeply nonzero and long drive back pain no.

Best Features: Long drive is good and comfortable

Pros: Milage and smooth, no sound silence and good comfort

Cons: Looks not ok and cross 70 so vibrating and back wheel too small

CBR should be a genre of Cross Beam Racer but not this 250R. Its more of a compromise on quick bike to make a to do all tourer. Comfortable stance with good wind block from the fairing. Quality of components is really good but misses out on no. of components, like side stand indicator and no radiator protection. First thing I did was dump those ContiGO's/MRF's and put Michelin Street Pilot radials the accuracy on leans and grip is way sorted than stock (note rounder profile of rear tyre makes it a bit shaky after 100kph). It's a infantly sensitive on 1st to 3rd gear (forearm clutch exercise in traffic) but post that 4th-5th have a mid range hammer to 6th, which can take 5k to 8.5k revs; from 70kph to 130ish kph. But passing power in 7. 5k to 8. 5k revs is non-existent/mellow. To conclude, if you want one bite of all types of bikes it's a good option and is a really exciting one. Though the price and updated competitors make it hard to recommend it now. (Honda should desperately launch 300 etc.)

Best Features: 6th gear is an overide, smooth gearbox and throttle response.

Pros: Mid Range - usable power & Well dressed - fairing works.

Cons: Minimal display & Low end wrt to gear ratios.

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!!

Best Features: Power delivery, brakes and refinement

Pros: Raw power, Comfort, CBS and of course the LOOKS

Cons: Digital console

The bike is really good and comfortable for touring or long rides, its a sport tourer and not completely a sport bike so don't mix and compare with KTM RC 200 or Ninja. It is best in its sphere of 250cc. Considerable mileage of 30-40kmpl if u ride it with passion rather than rudely. And last but not the least nothing is perfect so make it perfect if u want and assurance lies with brand honda itself, get the road side assistance while purchasing and extended warranty.

Best Features: Comfortable with long rides, braking system, smooth and low-mid pickup, instant pickup, horn power

Pros: Handling, comfort, smooth pickup, sitting posture, pillion comfort, grabrail, storage inside bike, exhaust sound and braking with combined abs

Cons: Headlight power comparitively low though 55/60w, cornering is not confident with this, huge difference between 1st and 2nd gear, rear mudguard not enough to resist mud splashes

Fantastic bike for touring and a great starter bike, but lacks in low end torque which is needed in the city, and looks a bit outdated. Would have been nice if the 300r was released last year. Probably has the best seating position in class. Has a meaty mid range and top end, ideal for high speed cruising on highways, very stable at high speeds. Engine is not stressed and is mod capable. City riding is manageable. Very very decent return of mile age depending on the riders' s riding style. Non existent exhaust note, poor low end torque.

Best Features: The engine, coolant system, seating position

Pros: The mid range and top end, cost of spares ,engine, coolant system

Cons: Non existent exhaust note, low end torque, slightly outdated looks, display, satisfactory braking (non abs)

I have my own sporty Red Hornet, bought 2 months ago. I am satisfied by its mileage, though its giving 40/42 kmpl on city. Its Rear wheel beats all bikes of 160cc to 220cc.

Best Features: Back light, Rear wheel size

Pros: Good looks... Comfortable, easy to handle..!!

Cons: Above the speed of 80 kmph, vibration occurs..!!

Completed 5000 KM with in 4 months.It has good ground clearance compared to Suzuki Gixxer and very comfortable seat.

Best Features: Comfort and power

Pros: Good performance, comfort, ground clearance is very nice

Cons: Gear system not smooth

Best Features: Not having any best feature.

Hi guys, it's been two months with this bike and 1500 kms of driving, & here's my short review of all the experience i got. Firstly, let's talk about the LOOKS & really this bike's got all the sophistication & aggressive looks at the same time. Now power, this bike is a beast bit trust me if you really want to enjoy the ride i personally recommend you to get on a highway with an endless road & you then feel the real power & comfort bike has got. In terms of fuel economy, before 1st service this bike's giving fuel economy of 42 to 45 kmpl, but after 1st service the fuel economy has gone to 49 kmpl which is pretty much satisfying. Brakes, the reason i bought this bike. Brakes are the main advantage of this bike, if you are in a traffic these brakes will amaze you with it's performance (thanx to CBS) Well it's been only 1500 kms on this bike, there's many more kms to come.

Best Features: CBS obviously ;)

Pros: CBS, High Ground Clearance

Cons: Lack of 6th Gear, Gear shifting is not so smooth.

It's a nice scooter but, why Honda giving very worst tyres (TVS) because of these tyres I am suffering a lot, I never refer Honda.

Best Features: Built with quality. but not tyres

Pros: Honda brand

Cons: Using cheap quality of tyres (TVS)

Bike's look and style is very good and good in 110 cc segment, comfortable riding experience, very stylish lights and overall look stylish bike, average is good at 40-50 km/hour speed, good HET engine

Best Features: Very good bike in its segment

Pros: Look style and average

Cons: Few colour choice

Honda CB Hornet 160R is very affordable bike for students and the look is very nice and new one and the braking system is very powerful and efficient.This bike has disadvantage of ground clearance and head light power is variable with rpm of engine.

Best Features: Combined braking system

Pros: Braking system

Cons: Ground clearance

For the price, they could have given better gearbox, gear indicators, engine kill switch. Gear shifting gets too tight and false neutral is too common. Seating could be better. Looks, pick-up and braking is top class.

Best Features: Looks and braking

Pros: Looks, X shaped Tail light, pick-up, sound, braking

Cons: Gear shifting, shock absorber, no gear indicator and engine kill switch

Very weak shock absorber, hard Gear shifting to neutral, chain sprocket loose for every 100KM, regular chain tight to be done, no proper seat lock, it's very loose if we ride on bad roads, sound coming from the seat lock.

Best Features: Rear tyre

Pros: Good Pulling and Braking

Cons: Worst shock absorber, hard gear shifting, chain sprocket, seat sound
