Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Hey how did you ride it 70 kmph at 4k rpm.AFAIK hornet does 55kmph at 4k.was it on a down slope?

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Bro, How did you do that? During my initial run-in, 4.5 used to be the cut off, I used to get only something just above 60 as far as I remember.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Did you guys opt for the extended warranty at ₹660 ?

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Could be a downslope cause i was riding over a flyover.but it does 60 easily at 4k rpm

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Yep I did.

But you should also know this: different people have different views regarding it.

FOR guys say: anything happens to bike you are covered
AGAINST guys say: its a trick from the mangement guys to keep you bound to HSMI service centers.

Anyways you got your bike today?

No bro, it reaches about 50-55approx at 4k as per mine experience.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

As I understand, at any particular gear, a definite rpm will have only a definite speed. It can't change on slope or a flyover or u have pillion or no pillion. or so I had thought. Maybe anyone more knowledgeable can chip in more information .

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Dont know bro but as per my speedo it touches 60 at 4k rpm,and then i close the throttle.could be bacause its almost new not even 100 on the odo

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

It should be around 55-60 at 4k rpm. My unicorn 160 touches 60 at 4k rpm on a slight downslope.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

I think it was without registration, right ? Mine 96206 as well but the final amount was 97106

Here's a pic from my orange hornet. It looks awesome, really premium

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

You see its a love or hate thing.

It all depends on whether you know of any local mechanic who knows how to pull apart a Hornet and put it back together after a service or you have good relations with a particular Honda SVC.

In my case I have good relations with a particular Honda SVC and I always take my Honda Activa to that SVC for service every 3 months. They do an excellent job and sometimes do a little extra out of protocol as a sign of good relation.

Heres the thing about extended warranty. You have to strictly follow their Service schedule irrespective of how much you ride your bike. For example if you havent ridden your bike for 3 months, you still have to take it to the SVC to service it to maintain the validity of the Extended warranty. This is what some people claim as getting trapped in a Corporate scheme. But you really have to think about it before opting for the extended warranty, whether you will be using your bike a lot or not.

As far as I have seen, Honda bikes are very reliable and most of them never really have any manufacturing defects or malfunctions. So like I said before, its a love or hate thing.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Hornet, gixxer sf, rtr 200
Which is better and why?

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

All three bikes are good and the better one will be from an individual's perspective. A lot of factors decide the bike for a person. Eg :if you have performance as the main criteria then apache Comes at top with hornet and gixxer at par.similarly if good pillion confort ,fresh design , smoothness and reliability are your main criteria then hornet is the one followed by gixxer and apache comes third.if you want a faired motorcycles with jaw dropping looks and if you are on the shorter side then gixxer is the one for you.
So please elaborate your criteria to get a proper advice.
PS all the above points are from my point of view and may not necessarily be true.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

Fuel leakage lead to paint peel off from engine.. but honda service center replaced it

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

How did fuel leak?
Was the peeling small, like say small patch.

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

A few concerns that other owners might help me out with..
1.the engine at lower revs is not at all smooth that makes city riding a bit painful will it b smoother as I ride more ..bdw I rode almost 120 kms the day I bought it
2 seat is wide spacing is ample but still as a rider I feel some discomfort anyone else feeling the same
3 some sound is coming from chain ..I guess one owner mentioned
It previously also


Bdw it looks killer in black..
