    I too feel the same [emoji4]

      The reason why want to be move away from rtr 180, i am getting back aches, due to riding postures. i am ready to sacrifice some power output, and get the Hornet 160r, for its comfort posture riding and some power.

      Does the Hornet 160 cant be comapred to apache 160(old one)
      On smooth roads/highway you will not get backache riding Hornet even for long. The same can not be said in case of bad/rough roads.

            IMHO, I have seen some Duds riding pulsars with Tail Tidy. It's running without undies and showing off their A$$ .
            Til Tidy needs that build of super bike look.

              Thanks guys for your inputs, made my decision not to go for hornet, as i need similar power and more comfort than RTR. Not sure what to look for, may be stay with RTR[emoji4]...

                    You can actually get rid of the rough feel (on the handlebar)by fixing heavier bar ends. I know 3 guys who've fitted bar ends, their bikes feel very smooth compared to other Hornets.

                    Compatible (direct fit) - Xtreme 150, RTR
                    Both cost ~400.

                    Mods required to fit - Pulsar, Duke

                    Xtreme bar ends on Unicorn 160-

                      Would you recommend Motul 5100 4T 10W30 Technosynthese ester synthetic oil for Hornet? I was on 10w40 since 5k kilometres.

                            Really !! I haven't ridden Hornet for long distances anyhow is there any handlebar wobbling? Coz misalignment and non maintenance of rear shock absorber can even cause backpains !!!

                              Hornet has the stiffest suspension setup, checkout powerdrift"s review on hornet.

                                Hi friends,

                                My bike chain is making too much noise... Wat might be the reason.... It's been only 400km and 1 year since my last bike service.. do I have to USE CHAIN LUBRICANT... or service my bike fully.....??

                                How often should I use chain lubricants.. and WHICH LUBRICANT is the best for HORNET...
                                Please suggest me..
                                Thank you..
