Honda Hornet 2.0 vs Suzuki Gixxer 250 vs TVS Apache 200 4V

Question 1

Q. Which one to go for Hornet 2.0, Apache RTR 200 4v or Gixxer 250 or wait for Honda CBF 190?

Answer

The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has been one of the nicest 200cc motorcycles in India. It is sharp and agile while maintaining a friendly power delivery. The lack of a sixth gear though limits its touring potential. If we talk about Suzuki Gixxer 250, it is comfortable in the city and on the highway to, it has big bike looks and a decent amount of features. However, its brakes could be better and headlight intensity is a little below average. Honda Hornet 2.0 isn't a 200cc bike as per its specifications 184cc engine producing 17.23PS at 8500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6000rpm. If outright performance is not your priority and looking for a comfortable bike for city commutes and want a refined and smooth engine, you may go for Honda Hornet 2.0. Hornet 2.0 is the bike based on Honda CBF 190(international), so we don't see any chance that the brand will sell same bike with two different names in India. You may compare all these bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 2

Q. I am confused between Honda Hornet 2.0 & Honda Unicorn 160. I live in Mumbai and I commute daily up to 60 kms on rough roads, busy traffic and highway. My priorities are good ride quality & suspension for comfortable journey for both rider and pillion(because of back pain), low maintenance cost and good mileage.Which one should I go for?

Answer

As per your requirements, we'd suggest you to go with the Honda Unicorn if you do not mind the old-school styling and lack of modern elements. The Unicorn is powered by a tried and tested fuel efficient engine, gets lots of ground clearance and a longer seat for improved comfort for both rider and the pillion. The BS6 update has given the bike a larger motor, while retaining the dynamics of the older bike. It still remains a well-rounded motorcycle, but the BS6 update has come with a hefty price hike. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility.

Answer

My answer varies with what you expect your vehicle to deliver - if outright performance is your preference, NS 160 is the choice - though the design is a few years old, yet packs more value for money.But if you wish for a torquey engine, excellent handler, a comfortable, newly designed, and a fancy USD - hornet is the bike to go for.I would also add that hornet has been more fuel efficient - 55-57 KMPL. And all LED setup is rather edgy.

Question 6

Q. I shortlisted these motorcycle Gixxer 250 naked, Honda highness, dominar 250 and ktm duke 200. Which would be better pick? I want to do occasional touring and weekend short rides.

Answer

As per your requirements, you may you for any bike among Suzuki Gixxer 250, Bajaj Dominar 250 and Honda H'ness. The CB 350 makes the best of both worlds: it’s not only powerful but also makes most of its torque lower down the rev range. Not to mention, it’s the second lightest bike after the BS6 Jawa in its segment. If you like the badge of Honda and looking for a easy to handle bike with comfortable ergonomics and practicality, Honda H'ness would be a great pick. As a motorcycle, the Dominar 250 does one thing right -- it is fit to purpose. The Dominar 400, for example, always felt like a confused motorcycle as the 390’s motor is too manic to make for a great sports tourer. It gets the job done, but just about. On the other hand, the Dominar 250’s motor felt boring on the KTM, but combined with the comfortable tourer the Dominar is, it works beautifully. It truly feels like it deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag. So while Bajaj might pitch it as the entry-level Dominar, we think the 250 is the Dominar in its perfect form. If we talk about Suzuki Gixxer, it offers a good balance between comfort and power performance. It is Comfortable in the city and on the highway, it has big bike looks and a decent amount of features. You may compare all these bikes accordingly.
