One look at the motorcycle and you know that it is at par with the competition, which is quite a good thing to say considering I love the way the Gixxer looks and everyone knows how purposeful the look of the Yamaha FZ is. The headlamp of the Hornet 160R gives it an impressive look and resembles the one found on the Honda CB 1000R.
Yes, it doesn’t look as aggressive as the Yamaha FZ-S but can be compared to the Suzuki Gixxer. The switch gear feels a little ill-equipped as it lacks an engine kill switch and the high-beam low-beam shifter might take some time to get used to. Another refreshing bit was to see the thoughtfully-made kick lever of the Hornet. It can be engaged to start the bike and then put back in its place in one very seamless manner.
