Best look with best mileage honda hornet

2 years ago by Sangam Kumar1,755 views

My college class 11 dream was to purchase yamaha r15 s, but price is so high , again after 2 year honda was launched 2015 r15 s, i see it in showroom everyday in the way of college road in honda showroom but my budget is not that much , i collect 160000 , in that time 3rd generation 2k18 hornet with abs was launched again , so i forgot yamaha and see a mileage of hornet in youtube , omg i see 49 to 52 mileage it have , suddenly i go to showroom and purchased this beautiful machine , fully satisfied with it but only problem is that headlight is not sufficient for highway and initial gear punch is lack , overall best look with best mileage and honda durability trust go for it.

Tips for Honda CB Hornet 160R

You can rely on honda engine blindly, but the plastic quality should have been better. Great service reaches, good staff behavior. Honda really cares about their customer. I rode this bike for nearly 15000 kms. Some flaws are there but after servicing, it goes very smooth.

Best bike in its class. Typical short pickup, good mileage, perfect for a long tour, unique comfort and balance, proper braking system. And its muscular looks grow attention in the traffic. I'm completely satisfied with it.
It has good adjustment between speed up and speeds down during overtaking. Easy and light clutch helps to ride in traffic also.

I am using this bike from 2016 - 2022. Driven around 94000 km . Its major problem is only its chain sprocket. Riding , seating , look wise , pricewise experience is so good. Honda all bike below 200 cc have low maintainance cost. Great bike for long route and city drive also. On highway my hornet still gives 50 - 55 mileage. In city its goes around 45 - 50

I had amazing experience of my hornet 160r 2018 model driven close to 50k kms best in reliability, mileage, braking, maintenance. Only normal service been made even the stock tyres lasted so long decent performance for touring too had 400 kms long drive feels comfortable though felt power may have been little better. Getting a mile age of 50 km per liter if you throttle too hard 35 maybe. Overall very good experience.

4Perfect offering from Honda for Indian market 11 months ago by Ashwin
Buying experience was decent. Paid the whole amount in cheque and got the bike delivered the next day . As per my experience, the bike feels a bit short of power at low rpm but performance is good as you go past 4000 -5000 rpm. Looks are personal preference so won't say...
Buying experience was decent. Paid the whole amount in cheque and got the bike delivered the next day . As per my experience, the bike feels a bit short of power at low rpm but performance is good as you go past 4000 -5000 rpm. Looks are personal preference so won't say anything. Maintenance is on par with other 160 cc bikes ( not considering the premium offerings like r15 etc) as Honda engine oil is value for money and does the job. The only cons i feel are that the chain requires frequent adjustments as it gets loose very often. Also the rear suspension is a bit stiff in my opinion. Other than these things, the bike is very reliable and has never troubled me . Go for it if you are considering purchasing it for the long run.

Honda CB Hornet 160R vs Bajaj Pulsar NS160: Comparison Test

23 January 2018

Charles Pennefather

The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 hopes to catch the fancy of the premium 150cc commuter segment - but will it manage to claw its way up to the up? The first obstacle is this, the Honda CB Hornet 160R. We have a look.

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Carb vs Bajaj Pulsar AS200 vs Honda Hornet 160R: Comparison Test

17 June 2016

Vikrant Singh

What we have here are two obvious players in the affordable and performance centric commuter class, and one outsider of sorts. The TVS Apache 200 4V – one of the obvious players, given it has nearly 20bhp – is the newest entrant. And though it is available both with fuel...

Honda Hornet 160R vs Bajaj Pulsar AS150 vs Suzuki Gixxer vs Yamaha FZS FI: Comparison Test

16 December 2015

Vikrant Singh

Seems like déjà vu. We just had the Suzuki Gixxer and the Yamaha FZS-FI locking horns a couple of months back right here on BikeWale. But here we are again with both the Gixxer and the FZ, and for good reason. The last time round, we couldn’t get a Bajaj Pulsar AS150 in...
