1) price may seem bit high to gixxer but worth buying a more satisfactory bike for bit higher price.
2) ride feel is great in its comfort in posture , and lengthy handle bars for greater turning radius added plus
point for its beefy 140/70 rear tyre, and for stability, gifted with cbs system of honda.
3) you cant simply turn off your heads, yes it steals your attention.
4) easy and smooth as you its from honda
5) pros : smoothness of the engine, good fuel economy, better handling.
cons : kill switch absence , led lamp head light

I really had lot of confusion before settled with honda hornet. When i went for test drive with yamaha fz and honda hornet. I came to terms with honda. I think the above mentioned bike stand out of all the other competitors bike in this variant.. Coming to fz vs hornet, hornet is way more satisfying than fz. People who need best performance, reliability, braking, style, mileage and long life should go with hornet. Its simply a satisfying joy to ride hornet knowing that you picked the best bike in this variant. I should mention the combi braking system here. Its simply amazing braking experience i ever had.. People talk about abs.. But guys cbs is more than enough. Don't waste money on abs. Hope my review would cleared your confusion.

Two things very unsatisfying:1.Its suspension.It is not comfortable for the rough roads.My back started paining after i started riding this bike.2.Its rear tyre is very slippery and also feel the bike like shaking on applying foot brakes.Firstly i thought it was a problem of bearings but they were in good condition.Also the bike feels windy after crossing the speed of 70.

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...
