I bought this bike because the style statement it provides to the rider and the aggrassive looks of the bike.
This bike has already been showcased by Honda and in terms of styling, it looks very aggressive. The bike looks best when viewed from its sides. Its fuel tank gets a lot of cuts and creases to showoff its muscle. There are hydraulic petal disc brakes on front as well as rear wheels. The CB Hornet 160R will also feature slanted V-shaped, five-spoke alloy wheels. Honda’s Combi Brake System will also be present here to minimise stopping distance.The hornet features single piece seat for rider and pillion.
CB Hornet 160R is likely to share the engine with the CB Unicorn 160 along with its all-digital console. Around the back, the stop lamp is designed in the shape of “X” and gets LED treatment. The exhaust muffler is shorter than that of the CB Unicorn 160 and gets aluminium heat shield.
If the engine isn’t tweaked for the Hornet, then it could produce power figures identical to the Unicorn 160. The 162.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine in the Unicorn produces 14.7 PS of power at 8000 RPM and 14.6 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. The patented Honda Eco Technology(HET), seen in new Honda two-wheelers, will also mark its presence in the Hornet to help boost its mileage figures. When launched, the Hornet will go head-to-head with Suzuki’s Gixxer and Yamaha’s FZ V2.0.
In this bike every this is good, but there is only a little problem of fuel but that can be accepted from an powerful bike.
