Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences
Nothing as such. Comparisons are relative and choices are subjective.
Though they don't seem much now, back in the day the P220 and RTR180 were aggressively tuned machines.
I'd still prefer to run an under-powered machine granted it has decent part quality and spare availability as component life is higher on an under-tuned machine, only reason the same in not obvious these days is due to a considerable dip in part quality of certain manufacturers.
The difference is substantial.
The CR is the ratio between the total area of the cylinder and its squish clearance, meaning even the slightest difference is significant nonetheless.
This statement has lead me to believe that you've not worked on a motorcycles of different brands.
TVS has the best part quality when it comes to indigenous motorcycles, HMSI and Hero though have been said to be decent back in the day(before I got on two wheels), they have been known for quality concerns in their commuter(Anything below the CBR range) segment motorcycles, if you go deep into the CB150 thread you'll get to know what I'm referring to, it was a shame when the CB150 which was known for its reliability started experiencing quality concerns that forced owners to dispose off the motorcycle with really low odo reads.
The motorcycle at my disposal was a 2013 CB Unicorn that was owned by a friend, after repeated quality concerns and failure of SVC to address the issue we tried Honda's redressal page which literally ended is a 'Link Not Found' page, it was with the help of fellow xBhpians that we got in touch with higher up officials who helped resolve our concerns, by when my friend got fed up and decided to part with the motorcycle.
The upside in all this was that, we did get a good resale for the motorcycle due to warped market perception about Honda's reliability and unbelievably long waiting times, which were a thing those days.

Quality level of Bajaj bikes is pathetic, that of TVS is nowhere near Honda.
