    Allan Pinto

    Fantastic bike. lovely torque.Decent mileage for a 186 cc bike. A good bike to ride in the city, I driving it to the office every day (around 26 km)
    2 Big issues with the bike.
    Shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and vice-versa.
    and lack of a kick-start.
    a bit pricey. better VFM bikes are available.

  • Smooth beasty ride

    2 years ago


    Mario

    Best bike for city commute.
    Lightweight (142kgs) makes handling very easy.
    Smooth refined engine trademark Honda.
    This looks like a beast and is easily one of the best looking bikes in the parking lot. 110/70 & 140/70 tyres looks awesome and gives really good balance and stability.
    Brakes are really good, you can almost completely depend on the front brakes.
    Mileage of 40 around.
    Smooth gear shifts. And excellent torque
    Low and mid range performance is best in the class. You tend to feel the absence of a 6th gear but that's ok unless you are buying this bike to race on a daily basis.
    Initial issues described here like engine heating and noise from rear brakes (just clean the disk) and all are eliminated after 1st service. Some bikes may tend to have a lockset issue, which again resolves in a month or so on its own or then a new lockset can be installed.
    I would definitely recommend for a smooth makkhan experience and a pleasurable riding.

    Using from last 5 months. No issues except rear disc noise, its not solved but it's can be manageable noise and oil leakage from engine oil tank which is solved in service centre of changing oil ring of engine oil tank. Easy to handling. Joy to ride on cornering in city also. Getting around 45 Km/l. mileage in daily city riding.

  • Good bike for daily commuters

    9 weeks ago


    Chetan More

    Pros-
    The buying experience was good.
    Nice look
    Great mileage gets 48-52 kms easily tank to tank
    Handling is good
    Never felt out of control
    The rider's seat is good
    Cons-
    The bike lacks early and high-rpm power
    At 3-7k rpm feels very nice to ride
    Many times gear shifting issues. Gears get stuck intermittently.
    Should have dual channel ABS for more safety
    Headlight through is poor
    The rear suspension is stiff,
    Missing navigation connectivity
    No charging point
    The rear seat is much narrower.

    Chain lubrication is a must every 600-800kms During purchase, many dealers try to cheat by giving maxiss tyres instead of MRF be careful.

  • Just ride it once then come back

    1 year ago


    Pratik

    Don't compare spec sheets
    Don't compare features
    Gimmicks are going to make you feel special.......For some time
    Then you'll get used to it
    & you'll never use it
    Just ride this one, once
    You'll fall in love with it
    The torque surge comes from 2000-2500rpms
    Will scare your pillion
    It's that kind of machine
    The rush after 6000rpms will scare you as well
    As if you'll feel like the bike will leave you behind
    The short gearing is the cherry on the top
    You can cruise in 5th gear
    From 30 to straight up 130
    Suspension's stiff
    Yes, I agree
    But if you're seeking comfort in this kind of machine
    Then you'd be better of go with activa....
    But but but
    You still want this one........
    The suspension stiffness
    Makes the bike rock solid at whatever speeds you wish to go
    The headlight's illumination is not that great
    Just lower its level
    & you'll be fine with it
    But for everything else
    You can trust honda & hornet
    Aftersales is excellent
    It's cheap to maintain ( no pun intended )
    & trust me
    You'll never regret this one !!!
    Though its expensive, less features, only 5 speeds, blah blah
    I repeat......
    you'll never regret this one.

    Clean chain every 3-4 weeks. While deceleration you'll feel a jerk on the footpeg That's dust, and mud on your chain & sprocket Tyre pressure 25-25 for both tyres will give you the best of both worlds Mileage & Comfort.

    Fantastic bike. lovely torque.Decent mileage for a 186 cc bike. A good bike to ride in the city, I driving it to the office every day (around 26 km)
    2 Big issues with the bike.
    Shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and vice-versa.
    and lack of a kick-start.
    a bit pricey. better VFM bikes are available.

  • Smooth beasty ride

    2 years ago


    Mario

    Best bike for city commute.
    Lightweight (142kgs) makes handling very easy.
    Smooth refined engine trademark Honda.
    This looks like a beast and is easily one of the best looking bikes in the parking lot. 110/70 & 140/70 tyres looks awesome and gives really good balance and stability.
    Brakes are really good, you can almost completely depend on the front brakes.
    Mileage of 40 around.
    Smooth gear shifts. And excellent torque
    Low and mid range performance is best in the class. You tend to feel the absence of a 6th gear but that's ok unless you are buying this bike to race on a daily basis.
    Initial issues described here like engine heating and noise from rear brakes (just clean the disk) and all are eliminated after 1st service. Some bikes may tend to have a lockset issue, which again resolves in a month or so on its own or then a new lockset can be installed.
    I would definitely recommend for a smooth makkhan experience and a pleasurable riding.

    Using from last 5 months. No issues except rear disc noise, its not solved but it's can be manageable noise and oil leakage from engine oil tank which is solved in service centre of changing oil ring of engine oil tank. Easy to handling. Joy to ride on cornering in city also. Getting around 45 Km/l. mileage in daily city riding.

  • Good bike for daily commuters

    9 weeks ago


    Chetan More

    Pros-
    The buying experience was good.
    Nice look
    Great mileage gets 48-52 kms easily tank to tank
    Handling is good
    Never felt out of control
    The rider's seat is good
    Cons-
    The bike lacks early and high-rpm power
    At 3-7k rpm feels very nice to ride
    Many times gear shifting issues. Gears get stuck intermittently.
    Should have dual channel ABS for more safety
    Headlight through is poor
    The rear suspension is stiff,
    Missing navigation connectivity
    No charging point
    The rear seat is much narrower.

  • Just ride it once then come back

    1 year ago


    Pratik

    Don't compare spec sheets
    Don't compare features
    Gimmicks are going to make you feel special.......For some time
    Then you'll get used to it
    & you'll never use it
    Just ride this one, once
    You'll fall in love with it
    The torque surge comes from 2000-2500rpms
    Will scare your pillion
    It's that kind of machine
    The rush after 6000rpms will scare you as well
    As if you'll feel like the bike will leave you behind
    The short gearing is the cherry on the top
    You can cruise in 5th gear
    From 30 to straight up 130
    Suspension's stiff
    Yes, I agree
    But if you're seeking comfort in this kind of machine
    Then you'd be better of go with activa....
    But but but
    You still want this one........
    The suspension stiffness
    Makes the bike rock solid at whatever speeds you wish to go
    The headlight's illumination is not that great
    Just lower its level
    & you'll be fine with it
    But for everything else
    You can trust honda & hornet
    Aftersales is excellent
    It's cheap to maintain ( no pun intended )
    & trust me
    You'll never regret this one !!!
    Though its expensive, less features, only 5 speeds, blah blah
    I repeat......
    you'll never regret this one.

    Clean chain every 3-4 weeks. While deceleration you'll feel a jerk on the footpeg That's dust, and mud on your chain & sprocket Tyre pressure 25-25 for both tyres will give you the best of both worlds Mileage & Comfort.
