Hello guys!! New to this forum..
I bought my hornet 1.5 years back.
Its really awesome to rise. Pickup is really good.
Presently I am experiencing some tightness in engine, as if this bike has potential to ride very fast and smooth but something is holding back. Something tightens the engine or gears whatever. And the engine sound trrrrrr something like that.
Currently i have ride for 18k almost. I am happy with the beast. Put CBR oil every alternate service. Can someone please explain me about this weird things?

Check chain slack and lube it, if needed.
Check air filter and clean or replace it, if needed. Update us with change in performance.
Check and replace oil, if it’s used for over 4K Kim’s.

Some svc's are notorious for not doing service. They just wash and return the bike.
Someone else has pointed out such things happening in honda asc in some thread too.
Check whether proper service has been done or not. Check whether air filter has been cleaned or not. Also, check whether your chain is running dry or is it lubed?

These should fix the problems in most of the bikes, with such issues.
Try complaining to honda. Others reported that Honda doesn't respond. Try your luck.

In my village too, because it easily sells more or less 15k units a month but Unicorn 150 is much popular here than the 160R.

I changed to Philips HS1, (12v 35W) purchased from local shop for 140/-.
Packaging claims 30% more light.
I feel, it's better than stock and sufficient for city riding.

Kind of: https://www.amazon.in/Philips-12636-.../dp/B00NAZKO9E

For Highway riding, what should be the better configuration than stock?
