From many years Honda makes such kind of bikes which are going to leads the line. These products are completely full-fill with impressive qualities and looks.
By the test riding of Honda CB Hornet 160 R CBS, I decide to write a review on it.
The Honda series event surprisingly brought us a new member in the Indian Automobile society, tough enough to play hard. Premium feel would surround the newcomer as it is not made like every other commuter in the market or by Honda itself. The lack of a naked bike with pure street bike feel can be fulfilled by the muscular and tough looking body design. Lean bikes have always been a Honda's way of biking but the changing market forced them to being a popular non-Indian bike series name'The Hornet'.
DESIGN & STYLE:-
The CB Hornet 160 R comes inspired from the design of the concept Honda bike, the CX-01, which was showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo. It comes with a bit different approach as all the Honda bikes in the segment are more commuters than the famous street fighter designing. The tank gets a muscular cowl, which houses the Honda's wing symbol over it. Front gets a Honda style headlight and the most noticeable point becomes its mid-shape exhaust design. The alloy wheel design is new to the Honda family and looks great on the Hornet 160 R.
The tank has been precisely chiseled from each angle, making it more muscular than any other bike in the Honda's Portfolio. The rear gets an X-shaped tail light and a wide tyre, which is always missing from Honda's motorcycle range.
The Length x Width x Height of CB Hornet are 204.1 cm x 78.3 cm x 106.7 cm.
Ground clearance of the bike stands at 16.4 cm with a wheelbase of 134.5 cm. The fuel tank capacity is 12 litres and weight of STD model is 140 kg and CBS model weight is 142 kg. The seat height is 79 cm.
DASHBOARD:-
The Hornet is said to replace the CB Trigger and comes out with the same instrument console which was used in the former. It is a fully digital rectangular unit, cleanly defining all the requirement from a bar form tachometer to a digital speedometer, it carries everything like trip distance, fuel indicator etc. The unit looks good because it's not as dated as many currently running street fighters.
ENGINE AND GEARBOX:-
The engine below the tank is said to be the same unit which is currently available on the CB Hornet 160 but it has been tuned to generate more power and torque.
The gear box remains the same speed, 5-speed units.
