    Sai Kishore

    1. Buying experience:
    I always had a dream of buying a nice bike but cost matters to many of them. Same concern on my side also. I had confusion between Honda hornet 2.0 and Yamaha fz 25. Both are great in their own aspects but Yamaha price is slightly higher than Honda. Both looks stylish and design is also excellent. I had almost waited for 6 months by comparing these 2 bikes. I took test drive every month of both bikes. Finally I decided to go with Honda hornet 2.0 because of the price.
    2. Riding experience:
    Riding a bike itself is a great feel. You feel like the king of road. When I ride the hornet, the feel is like awesome which we can't explain in words. Great feel. The riding position is very comfortable where we can sit properly and enjoy the riding due to great seating position. The engine is very smooth and we don't get irritated.
    3. Details about looks, performance and mileage:
    As i already said, look is awesome like beat me if you have enough strength. Awesome looks with led lights front and back which is visible day and night. Suspension of forks and shockers are also good without any jerks. Performance is also smooth, riding is comfortable. Mileage is claimed to be around 40 to 45 km/l due to 180cc bike but it will vary depending on load, wind, tyre pressure, etc
    4. Servicing and maintenance:
    Servicing 180cc bike will have its own price but compared to other bikes, this looks better in terms of pricing. Maintenance is also easier that we can get in one day. Staff's behavior is also fine as they understand clearly.
    5. Pros and cons:
    Pros - Easy to handle, can go on long rides up to 300 kms per day. It has stylish ride, and comfortable seating position.
    Cons - Chains bracket needs to be changed as it gets loosened after some kms.

  • Apache Pulsar comparison

    2 years ago


    Wasim

    Many people compare this bike with apache 200 but logically we don't even need riding mode or liquid or even oil cool in 20BHP bike that was useful for 50 or 60 BHP onwards. The bike is stunning when you park the bike in building parking every person notices this bike. Much refined and powerful engine which is more than sufficient and practically useful. We don't go racing every day. 90 is sufficient for cruising. When I bought it the seat was stiff but now it was good and improving. And 2022 is much more improved than 2021.

  • Price is high otherwise its good

    3 years ago


    Rohan Joshi

    1-Enjoying well.
    2-50 km/l mileage.
    3-Best bike to ride on highway and also city.
    4-Ground clearance is less it touches even small humps.
    5-Bike is light weight (142kg) in this segment. Paint quality is good.
    6-Rear tyre width (140mm) highest in this segment. Skidding chances are very less. So it has best road grip both in mud and sand area.
    7-Silencer looks cute and good.
    8-Usd shocks are highlight of this bike
    9-I bought for 170000 on road price in sindhnur dist-raichur Karnataka (04-02-2021)

  • A quiet and relevant motorcycle.

    3 years ago


    Aditya

    I had borrowed the Honda hornet 2.0 from a friend to do a tour from Bangalore to Mysore to Coorg & back.
    I have always been a fan of Honda as I personally own a CBR 250r which is a beauty.
    The best thing about this bike is that its:
    1. Reliable: not a single time the bike gave any trouble during the tour, engine is super smooth.
    2. Performance: being a Honda, the performance is linear and smooth. The throttle is so easy that you hardly notice that the bike is at 80-90 km/h. Every time i looked at the speedo, i was surprised. Engine is superbly refined.
    3. Maintenance: being a Honda owner myself I know how reliable and affordable it is maintaining a Honda motorcycle. The engineers and the service staff are well versed.
    4 . Looks: Well these are subjective, I personally find its look pretty good. The golden forks & led lights give the bike a distinctive look.
    5. Comfort: here I have a little gribe with this bike, as long as the roads are smooth, the bike rides nicely, but as soon as we hit the potholes (even small ones) the suspension sends messages through your spine. You would have to take a break after 150kms or so.
    6. Fuel economy: no complaints here, decent mileage of 45-55 km/l with a fuel capacity of around 10 liters. You will get a decent range.
    Pros:
    1. Reliable
    2. Fuel efficient
    3. Looks good
    4. Honda's economic and good service network
    Cons:
    1. Stiff suspension(rear) (spine tickler)
    2. A little expensive than the competition (well that's how Honda sells in India)

    Tips for other riders

    Be regular with your bike's service and maintenance and this bike won't give you trouble with anything. Lube your chain every 600-700 kms. Check your tyre pressure regularly. Respect the bike, this is no ktm :p

  • Genuine review after 6 month use

    2 years ago


    Pankaj Kushwah

    Cost is not good as bike value. It means it is not a value-for-money bike. The riding experience is good but it can be better. Looks amazing and this bike is eye-catching. But performance can be better by giving a 6-speed gearbox and dual-channel abs both feel like something missing. And reliability is poor bcoz one day accidentally my bike hit another bike and my bike handle alignment get very badly bent on another side of the wheel which feels very sad at this price range bike. This bike is not enough strong to handle small accidents also. One day I was gone to my village at 35 km but after 32 km gear bolt has loose and drop on the road and I feel it after 3 km at this time my bike just 5 month old. Servicing is good and cost-effective and maintenance is also good. Led indicators are of only one led... At least 3 leds I have seen in many bikes at this price. And the seat is very tough for pillion and also tough for the rider means it's not comfortable for long rides. But the power of this bike is awesome the initial pick-up is amazing on-road and when I drove on road everyone looks at my bike. The feeling to drive is very good but gear shifting is quite good not shifted properly or sometimes the gear is stuck. Headlamps can be brighter. The pillion seat is small. The wind cutting of this bike is very poor. You can increase tyre size by 20mm in the rear and by 10mm in the front.

The wind cutting of this bike is very poor. You can increase tyre size by 20mm in the rear and by 10mm in the front.

  • Best bike in 180cc segment

    3 years ago


    Sai Kishore

    1. Buying experience:
    I always had a dream of buying a nice bike but cost matters to many of them. Same concern on my side also. I had confusion between Honda hornet 2.0 and Yamaha fz 25. Both are great in their own aspects but Yamaha price is slightly higher than Honda. Both looks stylish and design is also excellent. I had almost waited for 6 months by comparing these 2 bikes. I took test drive every month of both bikes. Finally I decided to go with Honda hornet 2.0 because of the price.
    2. Riding experience:
    Riding a bike itself is a great feel. You feel like the king of road. When I ride the hornet, the feel is like awesome which we can't explain in words. Great feel. The riding position is very comfortable where we can sit properly and enjoy the riding due to great seating position. The engine is very smooth and we don't get irritated.
    3. Details about looks, performance and mileage:
    As i already said, look is awesome like beat me if you have enough strength. Awesome looks with led lights front and back which is visible day and night. Suspension of forks and shockers are also good without any jerks. Performance is also smooth, riding is comfortable. Mileage is claimed to be around 40 to 45 km/l due to 180cc bike but it will vary depending on load, wind, tyre pressure, etc
    4. Servicing and maintenance:
    Servicing 180cc bike will have its own price but compared to other bikes, this looks better in terms of pricing. Maintenance is also easier that we can get in one day. Staff's behavior is also fine as they understand clearly.
    5. Pros and cons:
    Pros - Easy to handle, can go on long rides up to 300 kms per day. It has stylish ride, and comfortable seating position.
    Cons - Chains bracket needs to be changed as it gets loosened after some kms.

    Many people compare this bike with apache 200 but logically we don't even need riding mode or liquid or even oil cool in 20BHP bike that was useful for 50 or 60 BHP onwards. The bike is stunning when you park the bike in building parking every person notices this bike. Much refined and powerful engine which is more than sufficient and practically useful. We don't go racing every day. 90 is sufficient for cruising. When I bought it the seat was stiff but now it was good and improving. And 2022 is much more improved than 2021.

    3-Best bike to ride on highway and also city.
    4-Ground clearance is less it touches even small humps.
    5-Bike is light weight (142kg) in this segment. Paint quality is good.
    6-Rear tyre width (140mm) highest in this segment. Skidding chances are very less. So it has best road grip both in mud and sand area.
    7-Silencer looks cute and good.
    8-Usd shocks are highlight of this bike
    9-I bought for 170000 on road price in sindhnur dist-raichur Karnataka (04-02-2021)

  • A quiet and relevant motorcycle.

    3 years ago


    Aditya

    I had borrowed the Honda hornet 2.0 from a friend to do a tour from Bangalore to Mysore to Coorg & back.
    I have always been a fan of Honda as I personally own a CBR 250r which is a beauty.
    The best thing about this bike is that its:
    1. Reliable: not a single time the bike gave any trouble during the tour, engine is super smooth.
    2. Performance: being a Honda, the performance is linear and smooth. The throttle is so easy that you hardly notice that the bike is at 80-90 km/h. Every time i looked at the speedo, i was surprised. Engine is superbly refined.
    3. Maintenance: being a Honda owner myself I know how reliable and affordable it is maintaining a Honda motorcycle. The engineers and the service staff are well versed.
    4 . Looks: Well these are subjective, I personally find its look pretty good. The golden forks & led lights give the bike a distinctive look.
    5. Comfort: here I have a little gribe with this bike, as long as the roads are smooth, the bike rides nicely, but as soon as we hit the potholes (even small ones) the suspension sends messages through your spine. You would have to take a break after 150kms or so.
    6. Fuel economy: no complaints here, decent mileage of 45-55 km/l with a fuel capacity of around 10 liters. You will get a decent range.
    Pros:
    1. Reliable
    2. Fuel efficient
    3. Looks good
    4. Honda's economic and good service network
    Cons:
    1. Stiff suspension(rear) (spine tickler)
    2. A little expensive than the competition (well that's how Honda sells in India)

  • Genuine review after 6 month use

    2 years ago


    Pankaj Kushwah

    Cost is not good as bike value. It means it is not a value-for-money bike. The riding experience is good but it can be better. Looks amazing and this bike is eye-catching. But performance can be better by giving a 6-speed gearbox and dual-channel abs both feel like something missing. And reliability is poor bcoz one day accidentally my bike hit another bike and my bike handle alignment get very badly bent on another side of the wheel which feels very sad at this price range bike. This bike is not enough strong to handle small accidents also. One day I was gone to my village at 35 km but after 32 km gear bolt has loose and drop on the road and I feel it after 3 km at this time my bike just 5 month old. Servicing is good and cost-effective and maintenance is also good. Led indicators are of only one led... At least 3 leds I have seen in many bikes at this price. And the seat is very tough for pillion and also tough for the rider means it's not comfortable for long rides. But the power of this bike is awesome the initial pick-up is amazing on-road and when I drove on road everyone looks at my bike. The feeling to drive is very good but gear shifting is quite good not shifted properly or sometimes the gear is stuck. Headlamps can be brighter. The pillion seat is small. The wind cutting of this bike is very poor. You can increase tyre size by 20mm in the rear and by 10mm in the front.

  • Genuine review after 6 month use

    2 years ago


    Pankaj Kushwah

    Cost is not good as bike value. It means it is not a value-for-money bike. The riding experience is good but it can be better. Looks amazing and this bike is eye-catching. But performance can be better by giving a 6-speed gearbox and dual-channel abs both feel like something missing. And reliability is poor bcoz one day accidentally my bike hit another bike and my bike handle alignment get very badly bent on another side of the wheel which feels very sad at this price range bike. This bike is not enough strong to handle small accidents also. One day I was gone to my village at 35 km but after 32 km gear bolt has loose and drop on the road and I feel it after 3 km at this time my bike just 5 month old. Servicing is good and cost-effective and maintenance is also good. Led indicators are of only one led... At least 3 leds I have seen in many bikes at this price. And the seat is very tough for pillion and also tough for the rider means it's not comfortable for long rides. But the power of this bike is awesome the initial pick-up is amazing on-road and when I drove on road everyone looks at my bike. The feeling to drive is very good but gear shifting is quite good not shifted properly or sometimes the gear is stuck. Headlamps can be brighter. The pillion seat is small. The wind cutting of this bike is very poor. You can increase tyre size by 20mm in the rear and by 10mm in the front.

    Use semisynthetic oil and the laminate bike just on buying day or next day....it retains its looks and newness.
