Good bike in the segment

1 year ago by Vaishakh513 views

I am using this bike in last 3 years. I got 48 km per liter mileage. This bike is excellent for city usage. Have good riding experience. Good tyre. The main problem I feel for this bike is its seat. It is very hard. So if you want to ride long distance modify your seat. Also you should maintain the chain very well.

Tips for Honda CB Hornet 160R

Maintain your chain very well. Use oil in regular interval.

It is a very good bike for a cost of 1 lakh rupees, it has a great sound with a good speed and mileage. Nice bike with ample performance and style. The looks may be intimidating for a few, but in my opinion, the bike is a true looker and a head-turner. It is a good bike...
It is a very good bike for a cost of 1 lakh rupees, it has a great sound with a good speed and mileage. Nice bike with ample performance and style. The looks may be intimidating for a few, but in my opinion, the bike is a true looker and a head-turner. It is a good bike for daily commute with routine mid-riding speed pros - good looks, avg mileage, handling, braking, good mid-range performance cons - sloppy engine performance on high speed, very basic features with switch gears and meter.

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.

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...
