    Do you mind telling where you are from?
    I am in Hyderabad.

    It is actually very dark blue. Above photo is in direct sunlight that's why we able to see blue. Otherwise in shadow one can easily get confused with black color.
    I like the color and red one looks little more flashy for me. Blue looks compact.

    I just came with my bike. Here is sneak peak. I will upload some pictures tomorrow.

      Wow, the X light does look very prominent in the dark, seems like it is very much the signature design.
      These pics only make me all the more eager to get my hands on my bike. Sadly, it isn't released here in Calicut yet.

      Yeah, please do treat us with pics, also please give us the initial review, if you could. As I, for one, had booked the bike without even having seen it in flesh, let alone a test ride.

              Initial verdict....
              Bike runs super smooth, specially @5K RPM at 62-65Kmph.
              Clutch is light as feather
              Gear transmission is fine but little harder. I think should get smoother.


              Letdown: Kick is nice feature but Kick only work on Neutral .

              Here are some pics .

                      Dealer guy was saying around ~600.

                      Coarse Sound: Didn't notice anything unusual .

                            Can't deny that. They could have diluted the the paint a bit.
                            But perk is it changes the color on based of shade.

                            One of the youtube reviewer said White is best color. You might check that.

                              Dear Hornet owners
                              Honda bikes usually suffer from cold start problems. My Unicorn used to need choke in the evenings as well.
                              How does the Hornet fare in this regard?
