Kms Runs - 2500+
Color - Fierry Red
Comfort - i'm 6'1 and heavy built so little discomfort other might enjoy to core!
Style - The style of this bike is amazing. Will look like an expensive one. First bike in hyderabad when I used to drive many of them used to ask me!
What bike?
Killing looks?
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox -
Engine - Honda Hornet engine is not silent "Beware" different sound and different speeds. Don't complain about engine sound that is one best features.
Fuel Economy- I Usually drive between 55-65 kmph full tank gives me around 50Kmpl.
Gearbox - You need to use full clutch to change gear for up & down unlike Bajaj and Hero where you do half clutch.
Ride Quality & Handling - My confidence levels came up after using this one. This is gives most comfort to both rider and pillion. Be careful during bigger speed breakers as center stands gets hurt. Bigger tyre gives you comfort!
Disc Size Tyre Size all are better than gixxer!
Tyre size(f-r) 100/80 x 17 inches - 140/70 x 17 inches(Hornet)
Tyre size(f-r) 100/80 x 17 – 140/60 x 17 inches( Gixxer)
Final Words - "Paisa Wasool'. I've waited almost 7 months. Honda Unicorn 160 and Trigger has given big blow to Honda 2 Wheelers India sales have come down. They will have launch a super bike to beat rivals and being last entrant into this segment. Hornet is one proven bikes in Honda so they cannot risk and dilute the brand further. It lived up to my expectations.
Horn - Not powerful change if you need.
