The new buzz in town is Honda CB Hornet 160R.
As far as the honda engine and specifically the Hornet 160 engine is concerned there is no comparison with any other engine about reliability and lifespan of a honda engine.
And it is the same 160 unicorn engine but tweaked differently to make it more powerful and peppy. The looks of the bike is good enough and the color options or variants are superb, also it has a x shaped backlight. Hey this is something you don’t see on road everyday. It also has a dedicated app on android, so check it out.
The bike is little heavy at around 148 kgs and is good for people over 5’8 height. Looking at the history of honda one could expect a mileage of around 50-52 kmpl. The tires are tubeless and wider MRF Zapper tires. With BS iv emission standard meeting 162 c.c. 5 speed engine tweaked at 15.66 bhp@8500 rpm and 14.76 nm of torque@6500 rpm with split 5 spoke alloy wheel, fully digital meter, mono rear suspension and 12 litre fuel tank capacity, the bike HIDE NOTHING.
The bike has two variants, one with dual petal disc brake cbs version and another one is single petal disc brake version. In kolkata the prices are around Rs. 96000 and Rs. 91000 respectively. Now the con part. No Engine kill switch ( Why you Honda people. Does it cost so much? ) and very basic old fashion switchgear. But overall with superb looks, good mileage and the quality of Honda this one is going to be a tough competBrianbalakumaranr in 150 c.c. segment. Watch out Gixxer. Hornet is coming.
