    I don't think that's advisable any modification especially brakes, suspension etc are very tricky something goes wrong then you will wreck yourself and bike.
    Moreover there's nothing wrong with drum brakes the gixxer is light weight you may not get feedback like the disk brakes but it still reliable.

      That's explained in the previous post already. It's possible with a hell lotta changes, you end up spending a lot, which is absolute non sense.

      But What are you worried abt? Breaking Efficiency or just that it doesn't have a disk but others have one?
      Ride Safe!

        I am worried about breaking efficiency . when I took a test drive I felt the rear brakes were not that good . Still you seldom use Rear break :P

          Beware of monoshock suspension from Honda. It is really hard. I have an one year old Honda trigger dual disc combi brake cost around 88000/- onroad. It gives back pain to me and I am under treatment. So please test drive the vehicle without a pillion before purchase.

            Go with Suzuki gixxer 155. It is the best.

                  Re: Hornet or Gixxer

                  Go with Hornet if you want something fresh and new in the market

                  Go with Gixxer if you want something which is proven in market.

                  Note : Honda has a better resale then suzuki even if you tend to sale the bike 5 years later.

                  Happy ridding.

                      Wait for Feb 9th.

                      If you can wait, expect Pulsar 150 NS around August.

                        Go for Hornet if you want good pillion comfort and good ergonomics. Switch-gear quality is not that good.
                        Go for Gixxer if you want refreshing looks. Pillion seat is high.
                        From the refinement, quality and power part, both are almost same. Suzuki has lesser number of service stations where the after sales service of Honda is infamous. It all comes down to your personal preference. Weigh the pros and cons of both the bikes as per your requirements and decide.
                        Also, give a thought to the other Jap 150cc - SZ-RR. Perfect city commuter with enough power for highways. Has amazing pull in the range of 30-70 kmph in the 3rd gear. Very smooth engine and comfort level.
                        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
