    Both would be good I guess, Hornet is an older bike, so you can get better feedback on its long term maintenance, 160 4V being new, you cannot predict it that well.

      I own 2018 hornet abs it's servicing cost is 300 rupees, engine oil cost is 300 rupees. It's a low maintenance bike, apache is also good but it needs 1200 ml of engine oil, cost of 1 litre oil is 590 rupees, since apache has high performance than hornet servicing cost is slightly expensive, but apache is a very good bike, you can buy both of them blindly, if you want abs in apache then you've to wait for next yeat [emoji106]

        After many test drives & discussions finally bought the Apache 160 4V yesterday. Though it was difficult to choose between hornet 160 & 4V.

                Avoid sec 10 showroom. Their service is pathetic to the point that I had to move on from Apache.

                          Because of demand/supply mismatch a private dealer is trying make a huge profit by quoting INR 96,000/- for 2018 model Unicorn 150! Is it wise to go for it or to look for alternatives?

                            Unicorn 150 is not that special that anybody would pay 96000 for it in today's world. Apache 160 4V is far far better in every single aspect. Only naive salesmen spread these rumors that unicorn 150 was the best bike in the world and the newer cb unicorn 160 is crap comparatively. I have ridden both of these extensively and I can safely say that unicorn 160 is literally the same as unicorn 150, except higher engine capacity and slightly taller gear ratio.
                            Don't fall for such marketing gimmicks, you can even buy the newer X blade, it's far more advanced than the unicorn 150.
