        Check the bike carefully and take advice from local mechanics. This much difference in price is not believable.

          Desided to go for hornet 160r instead of rtr 200 .
          But hornet don't have kill switch will it be a problem.
          How is engine refinement
          Mileage. Plz guide me .
          I have huge confusion which one to pick rtr200 or hornet 160r
          It depends on you. Both are good machines in its own way.

          If you are looking for greater power..less worried about mileage, engine refinement... go for rtr200 (Compromise mileage, engine refinement, maintenance on long run)

          If you want a commuterish sport bike with good mileage, ample pillion and reliable engine go for hornet.(Compromise common switch gear, bad head lamp, average lower end performance)

                  White is good, avoid yellow under all circumstances

                    hi all
                    this is my first ever post here in Xbhp

                    today i got the ladies foot rest for my CB hornet

                    shop name - Arora auto parts (different from Arora automobiles which is located in the starting of the GP road when going from LIC)
                    location - it is available exactly 2 shops after Hardeeps
                    price - 240 (costly compared others, but i needed it)

                    guy standing outside asked Rs.40 for fixing it, but i chose to fix it myself

                    the bolt near the foot peg was long enough to damage the chain cover so i replaced it with 12mm 2.5 inch bolt

                            Ok, but doesn't you feel that it's just like lugging the engine, or pls help me with gear shifting as per speed.
