Requirements/Usage: 70% commuting, 20% stuck in traffic, 10% trip.
Priorities: Ride comfort, Handling, Durability, Low maintenance.
Budget: Around 1 lakh INR.
I gave proper test-drive to both bikes and here are my observations:
FZ-FI V2 Pros: Style, Ride comfort, Refined FI engine (advanced technology) and throttle, Smooth gear shifting, Braking, Better pillion comfort, 6 free services!
FZ-FI V2 Cons: A bit less powerful engine, Average pick-up, Price on the higher side.
Hornet 160R Pros: Fabulous looks and aesthetics, Most powerful engine in the segment in terms of power & torque figures, superb top-end, CBS option.
Hornet 160R Cons: Low-end performance not up to the mark, in city traffic the engine feels kinda lethargic and viby. Rear suspension is on the stiffer side. I also heard some Hornet user complaining about weird engine sounds at higher RPM and other issues.

I have no idea about the mileage of both the bikes. But I heard Hornet is slightly better.
So after all this, I'm really confused which bike to go for
. Any help would be appreciated.NOTE: I'm not considering Gixxer because of its worst pillion comfort.
