Do you people experience pain in the palm and wrist after a long ride?

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
I think I'm putting too much pressure on the handle-bar. What's the correct posture to ride a hornet?Originally posted by gowthamh View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
No need to put pressure, ride casually... But in high speeds., Have a keen focus on road, have more conscious on brakes, ur ability to manage bike ( as bike is 140kg) .. I made a 123 kmph in my hornet but was moreee conscious about surroundings that speed shouldn't kill me and I should be able to reach destination safe..Originally posted by aishwary23 View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Fz has no such issues. At least not the v2.Originally posted by aishwary23 View Postस्वभावो नोपदेशेन शक्यते कर्तुमन्यथा !

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Wrong comparison to make.Originally posted by aishwary23 View Post
CBR250R is DOHC and has a shorter stroke, with the obvious fact that it's a bigger single.
Hornet is SOHC and is long stroke.
Also, you'll get used to shifting into neutral with time.
Buddy, ride the bike normally. Let it complete at least 6000kms before commenting on this. I have seen your comments/questions about vibration and oil in a lot of places.Originally posted by #bpk View PostLast edited by Shashank K R; 11-11-2018, 11:57 PM.Comment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Sorry, I don't have deep understanding about the bikes and the comparison I made is wrong.Originally posted by Shashank K R View Post
But, isn't it true that the CBR250R also has weak low-end torque, maybe because of a different reason than the Hornet?Comment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
It is a bit weak in the low end, we can't ride it like we ride a 100-150cc. Most of the bigger bikes are like this. I've already mentioned the reasons above.Originally posted by aishwary23 View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Yes, but that's not the case with other bikes of the same segment. I think Honda lacks in this department.Originally posted by Shashank K R View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Depends on which bikes you're considering.Originally posted by aishwary23 View Post
Check out other Hondas below 200cc (excluding the CBR150R), and you'll find that the hornet is different. Most Hondas intended for our market have a good low and mid range, which is exactly what we need for commuting and normal riding.Comment

I think only xBlade has good low-end torque.Originally posted by Shashank K R View PostComment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Not really, ride the 100ccs, shine, unicorn 150/160, Activa, etc or even the Karizma/Hunk/Splendor. All of them have a good low and mid range. There's hardly anything at the top.Originally posted by aishwary23 View Post
In fact, I found it hard to keep up with a shine upto 40-50kmph on my FZ25 without revving it a little hard.Last edited by Shashank K R; 11-12-2018, 12:13 AM.Comment

Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Commuter section has good low range torque. I've done quite a few KMs on my 2006 model Shine. Honda really nailed the commuter section in India, but it really needs to catch up with the 1L+/Sports bike section.Originally posted by Shashank K R View PostComment
