1) Honda has always knows for the best in the class the thing that honda was missing was on a muscular and stylish design with utmost ergonomics and Hornet completes that.
2) Its one of the best bikes in the 160 segment, it holds the same engine as unicorn 160 r, but the roar of this engine is a bit different a bit like ktms but sporty though.
3) bike looks big and length wise is lengthier than yamaha FZS and gixxer, seats on this side are big enough to support your sitting posture however the seats are on harder side
4) ride of this bike is top class in this segment gives a unique feeling from rest of the bikes in this class its very smooth and efortless .
5) the gears are bit on harder sider when u buy it new which is obvious but once go passes 700 km its very smooth . ensure your clutch and gear are adjust correctly.
6) switch quality is bit on the down side and no engine kill switch thats all is the CON in this bike.
8) MRF zapper tyres are the best that u can get for indian roads and the 140 rim of the hornet does the best job in class to grip ur bike always on the roads.
Bottom line- The Best in the classs .please go for it .Honda has always known for quality .
