    If you need fun in riding get a Gixxer. If You care about Mileage and better after sale service networks then get a Hornet. Both have more or less same power and torque. Gixxer shows the peak in lesser RPM while Hornet shows the peak in little higher RPM.
    Hi, I'm asking a bike which will be there for long term. Not comparing with power and all. I'm ok with both the bikes in those things.

      That depends on your riding style and your maintenance. No bike will dissappoint you in long run. Hornet may score little high in this aspect

        I got my bike , the next day I was doing speeds between 60 to 80. Avoided sudden acceleration.
        Before first service clocked 115 (only once)
        Bottom line .. avoid constant speeds. Maintain shifts within 5k. Rev your bike through all the range. It won't affect the engine. Here I make a point don't Rip it. Gentle acceleration and using the rev range.
        Thanks Brother and advise taken. I am also agree 👍 with you. Since my daily drive of 100 is through NH only, trying level best to vary speed.

          You took your bike to 115 and yet maintained below 5k?.... 🤔 How?

              I said about gearshifts. Within 5k rpm
              gear shifts with in that range and gentle speed ups.

                              Do you guys inflate your tyres at the gas station? I'm a little sceptical that the guy there might damage the pins if proper care isn't shown. Atleast that's what someone told me....😐
                              Also, do they offer nitrogen gas?

                                Better go to any tyre station for air. 10₹ not more. Nitrogen air not really useful unless you are doing track racing and you want to have exact same pressure all the time
