Looks
The Hornet 160R gives it an impressive look and resembles the one found on the Honda CB 1000R.The slightly-upward side exhaust gives the bike a sporty look which is complimented by the monoshock at the rear and the fuel tank has sharp curves making it look quite aggressive. The carbon-fibre-like touch on the fuel tank makes it look premium and adds more bang for your buck. The X-shaped LED tail lamp looks nice and adds to the overall sporty look and feel of the motorcycle.
Performance and Handling
Push the start button and you are welcomed by this sweet sound which immediately tells you that this bike is a typical Honda machine in terms of refinement.The engine redlines easily which allows you to use the power available with ease. After 6, 500rpm the engine hum changes to a grunt which encourages you to redline in every gear. The 162.71cc engine delivers 15.7bhp at a slightly higher 8, 500rpm, the peak torque is 14.76Nm which is delivered at 6, 500rpm. The five-speed gearbox does its duty smoothly and didn’t fumble once during those five kilometres for which we rode the bike. Ride quality is firm and handling commendable, but it was too brief a ride to really put the Hornet through its paces.Another thing which adds to the masculine quotient of the bike is the rear tyre. The 140/70 17 MRF Zapper S1 not only grips well, but also gives the rear a purposeful look. At the front we have a 100/80 17 MRF Zapper which does a good job.
according to me the bike is best in its class with its price value.
