  • Hornet 2.0 only bike for daily & long tour vehicle

    3 years ago


    Gautam Biswas

    Great bike, riding, sitting, look everything awesome. Overall i will give 10 out of 10. Every mechanism and parts are unique. If you ride this bike you feel how smooth & aggressive this bike . I have bought this bike & ride 56 km after 8 years of my previous riding I never feel that i am a new rider in kolkata traffic.

  • Just ride it once then come back

    1 year ago


    Pratik

    Don't compare spec sheets
    Don't compare features
    Gimmicks are going to make you feel special.......For some time
    Then you'll get used to it
    & you'll never use it
    Just ride this one, once
    You'll fall in love with it
    The torque surge comes from 2000-2500rpms
    Will scare your pillion
    It's that kind of machine
    The rush after 6000rpms will scare you as well
    As if you'll feel like the bike will leave you behind
    The short gearing is the cherry on the top
    You can cruise in 5th gear
    From 30 to straight up 130
    Suspension's stiff
    Yes, I agree
    But if you're seeking comfort in this kind of machine
    Then you'd be better of go with activa....
    But but but
    You still want this one........
    The suspension stiffness
    Makes the bike rock solid at whatever speeds you wish to go
    The headlight's illumination is not that great
    Just lower its level
    & you'll be fine with it
    But for everything else
    You can trust honda & hornet
    Aftersales is excellent
    It's cheap to maintain ( no pun intended )
    & trust me
    You'll never regret this one !!!
    Though its expensive, less features, only 5 speeds, blah blah
    I repeat......
    you'll never regret this one.

    Clean chain every 3-4 weeks. While deceleration you'll feel a jerk on the footpeg That's dust, and mud on your chain & sprocket Tyre pressure 25-25 for both tyres will give you the best of both worlds Mileage & Comfort.

    1. No issue face while buying
    2. Very smooth ride while traveling long distance
    3. Decent look and performance good.
    4. Servicing and maintainance is very easy. Feel very safe I feel while travelling long distance. Because both are disk brake and front abs
    5. Cons is face heating issue. Pros is smooth ride, easily maintain.

  • A mature bike who is still a kid at heart

    3 years ago


    Divyanshu

    Owner of this bike from last 1 month. Here are a few pros and cons.
    Pros : 1.) exceptionally good handling - you will just love to ride it in city or on highways. 2.) superb comfort - for riders it's seat is very comfy but for pillion I will give 8.5 out of 10 3.) great for cornering - if you live in a place where there is a lot of cornering , this bike will amaze you with the confidence it gives while cornering. 4.) decent mileage - was 40-42kmpl of mileage before first servicing but they said it will increase to 45+. 5.) grabs attention - it's something new on Indian roads + it's golden USD forks looks amazingly sexy. 6.) power - it can beat any bike(under 200cc) in 0-70km/h speed, even that roaring apache !! . Very strong mid range . Cruising speed is 90-100 without any vibration.
    Cons : 1.) no abs on rear disc - this was disappointing. The rear wheel does skids on heavy braking. Should have been there. 2.) creepy sound from rear disc - rear disc sounds like rat while braking, however it got fixed after first servicing.3.) stiff suspension - it has adjustable rear suspension which is pre fixed on stiffer side. But on positive it gives confidence while cornering. 4.) headlights - could have been better, specially in low beam. Many owners have posted issue with this bike like oil leakage or others. I didn't faced any of such issue except of sound from rear disc which got fixed after first servicing. And yes it will lose race against mt-15 or apache but only in top range which is after 90km/h, probably and you don't need that in city even if you like to race. P.S -- this bike is mature and seeks probably a mature rider who loves riding rather than speeding or doing drag race.

  • My review of my honda hornet 2.0

    1 year ago


    Amit

    Buying - I bought it for 1,56,000 rs chakdah , west bengal with all accessories (seat cover and leg guard )
    Riding - seating position is a little sporty but it's comfortable, 1 gear too much power feels torquey, little vibration in 2 nd gear at higher rpm . You have to ride it 3rd or 4th gear for smooth riding. I usually use it 4th gear and I am satisfied with no vibration and good control.
    Looks - obviously, looks are a subjective matter but those golden fronts are eye-catching, look premium, and look decent, I love my bike looks which are matt red colour.
    Servicing - good, it depends on which showroom you buy.
    Pros - looks, honda engine, smoothness, controlling, all led
    Cons - no mudguard so muds come up easily, no liquid cooling thought engine did not heat much.
    That's it folks hope you guys read my entire review if you want to buy this bike, buy it you won't disappoint it's the perfect combination of power and mileage you can daily commute as well as a tour on this bike. thanks.

  • Good bike with little bad service.

    3 years ago


    Mani

    Buying at tamilnadu is good and cost effective. In salem i got for 1.55l. The bike riding is good smooth. Don't expect aggressive riding (it is not duke 200/ns200). Good for cornering.Look is very good and the performance it is crushing 80kmph without any vibration for me. But 70 - 80kmph increase the speed slowly otherwise i got some noise while raising but not on running. Service is not that much good. Maintenance cost is ok same like unicorn.Pros: good mileage (i got 54kmpl at highway at speed of 60-70kmph) , for city i got 49kmplLooks good and giving confidence for ride long. Con's: i have small wobbling issue. Service people dint solve that issue. Other than that some time false gear happening.

    3 years ago


    Gautam Biswas

    Great bike, riding, sitting, look everything awesome. Overall i will give 10 out of 10. Every mechanism and parts are unique. If you ride this bike you feel how smooth & aggressive this bike . I have bought this bike & ride 56 km after 8 years of my previous riding I never feel that i am a new rider in kolkata traffic.

  • Just ride it once then come back

    1 year ago


    Pratik

    Don't compare spec sheets
    Don't compare features
    Gimmicks are going to make you feel special.......For some time
    Then you'll get used to it
    & you'll never use it
    Just ride this one, once
    You'll fall in love with it
    The torque surge comes from 2000-2500rpms
    Will scare your pillion
    It's that kind of machine
    The rush after 6000rpms will scare you as well
    As if you'll feel like the bike will leave you behind
    The short gearing is the cherry on the top
    You can cruise in 5th gear
    From 30 to straight up 130
    Suspension's stiff
    Yes, I agree
    But if you're seeking comfort in this kind of machine
    Then you'd be better of go with activa....
    But but but
    You still want this one........
    The suspension stiffness
    Makes the bike rock solid at whatever speeds you wish to go
    The headlight's illumination is not that great
    Just lower its level
    & you'll be fine with it
    But for everything else
    You can trust honda & hornet
    Aftersales is excellent
    It's cheap to maintain ( no pun intended )
    & trust me
    You'll never regret this one !!!
    Though its expensive, less features, only 5 speeds, blah blah
    I repeat......
    you'll never regret this one.

    Clean chain every 3-4 weeks. While deceleration you'll feel a jerk on the footpeg That's dust, and mud on your chain & sprocket Tyre pressure 25-25 for both tyres will give you the best of both worlds Mileage & Comfort.

  • A mature bike who is still a kid at heart

    3 years ago


    Divyanshu

    Owner of this bike from last 1 month. Here are a few pros and cons.
    Pros : 1.) exceptionally good handling - you will just love to ride it in city or on highways. 2.) superb comfort - for riders it's seat is very comfy but for pillion I will give 8.5 out of 10 3.) great for cornering - if you live in a place where there is a lot of cornering , this bike will amaze you with the confidence it gives while cornering. 4.) decent mileage - was 40-42kmpl of mileage before first servicing but they said it will increase to 45+. 5.) grabs attention - it's something new on Indian roads + it's golden USD forks looks amazingly sexy. 6.) power - it can beat any bike(under 200cc) in 0-70km/h speed, even that roaring apache !! . Very strong mid range . Cruising speed is 90-100 without any vibration.
    Cons : 1.) no abs on rear disc - this was disappointing. The rear wheel does skids on heavy braking. Should have been there. 2.) creepy sound from rear disc - rear disc sounds like rat while braking, however it got fixed after first servicing.3.) stiff suspension - it has adjustable rear suspension which is pre fixed on stiffer side. But on positive it gives confidence while cornering. 4.) headlights - could have been better, specially in low beam. Many owners have posted issue with this bike like oil leakage or others. I didn't faced any of such issue except of sound from rear disc which got fixed after first servicing. And yes it will lose race against mt-15 or apache but only in top range which is after 90km/h, probably and you don't need that in city even if you like to race. P.S -- this bike is mature and seeks probably a mature rider who loves riding rather than speeding or doing drag race.

  • My review of my honda hornet 2.0

    1 year ago


    Amit

    Buying - I bought it for 1,56,000 rs chakdah , west bengal with all accessories (seat cover and leg guard )
    Riding - seating position is a little sporty but it's comfortable, 1 gear too much power feels torquey, little vibration in 2 nd gear at higher rpm . You have to ride it 3rd or 4th gear for smooth riding. I usually use it 4th gear and I am satisfied with no vibration and good control.
    Looks - obviously, looks are a subjective matter but those golden fronts are eye-catching, look premium, and look decent, I love my bike looks which are matt red colour.
    Servicing - good, it depends on which showroom you buy.
    Pros - looks, honda engine, smoothness, controlling, all led
    Cons - no mudguard so muds come up easily, no liquid cooling thought engine did not heat much.
    That's it folks hope you guys read my entire review if you want to buy this bike, buy it you won't disappoint it's the perfect combination of power and mileage you can daily commute as well as a tour on this bike. thanks.

  • Good bike with little bad service.

    3 years ago


    Mani

    Buying at tamilnadu is good and cost effective. In salem i got for 1.55l. The bike riding is good smooth. Don't expect aggressive riding (it is not duke 200/ns200). Good for cornering.Look is very good and the performance it is crushing 80kmph without any vibration for me. But 70 - 80kmph increase the speed slowly otherwise i got some noise while raising but not on running. Service is not that much good. Maintenance cost is ok same like unicorn.Pros: good mileage (i got 54kmpl at highway at speed of 60-70kmph) , for city i got 49kmplLooks good and giving confidence for ride long. Con's: i have small wobbling issue. Service people dint solve that issue. Other than that some time false gear happening.
