Honda Hornet 2.0 Gear User Reviews

Till date i have traveled a distance of 3300 kms on the bike.Engine is smooth and gives good performance with an amazing mileage of 46 kmpl in city.Biie accelrates really well and most important thing is handling, Even in sharp corner bike gives that confidence.Broader tire really helps in cornering and they never disapointed me even in sharp turns.Engine is so smooth that i can easily cruise at 80-90 kmph (never tested above 92 dude to city conditions).There are few cons with this bike - 1.After causing at 70-80 for half an hour engine starts heating which is little discomforting and oil/liquid cooling could have been better.2.Suspension on back is on a stiffer side which is real pain if road is bad (happens after every km in pune).I have to slow down even for the small speedbreakers.3.There are some issues with gear shifting which gives false neutral while shifting from 4th to 3rd.I have tried to fix this in my 2 servicings but it never fixed.4.Pillion seat could habe been better.Apache rtr 200 has better cushioning than this).Apart from few cons which are mentioned above bike is really amazing.A performance bike with a good mileage like this is a great deal.Engine is so tractable that i can go as low as 25-30 kmph even in 5th gear.Also the engine is so smooth that i haven't experienced vibrations even at 90 kmph.In terms of build quality honda never disapointed me at all, Build quality is top notch.After sales suppport is good but i'm not happy with servicing (this can differ from service centre to service centre).

I bought this bike few weeks ago. It has excellent torque and short gear ratios so u can easily cruise in city at a low speed with enough torque. The gears are pretty hard, I guess it will be smooth after break-in period after first service bcoz the testride vehicle was butter smooth. Seating comfort is good. The bike has dual character, if u want to ride in low speed ,it will be a calm and peaceful bike, if u open the throttle half the way, it changes into an agressive machine so it is both a sports bike and a daily peaceful commuter. You can feel the grunt of the engine with sweet punchy exhaust. Plastics are not much strong but it is ok. First two gears are more short than expected like in all honda bikes and it is more heavy to shift than other gears but downshifts are equally smooth just like a slipper cluth but it has no slipper clutch though. Style is really good , not fancy nor too much simple. when u see picture you cant feel the style but when u see it in real life it is really a big bike than others in this 200cc segment. Good road grip and stability in winds also. MT is the tough competitor of this bike. The engine setup is totally different in MT15 but if u want a peaceful family + performance bike at the same time, you should definitely test ride it bcoz it is not like in the paper. It can beat NS, RTR2004v and MT15 in 0-60 for sure. but after 100kmph it will be slow coz there is rpm limiter and power is concentrated in low and mid ranges. If u like Honda then u should test ride this bike.

I'm writing this review after riding hornet 2.0 (2023) [bs6 phase 2] bike for 2000 kms.I've completed my first service.Performance: the performance/torque is more towards lower down the rev range and is good enough for city.It is good for highways as well but i do feel the lack of power during highway overtakes.6000 rpm @5th gear- 80 kmph7000 rpm @5th gear- 100 kmphvibrations: mirrors vibrate past 90kmph (everything in the mirror seems blurred)mileage: 42 (city) after riding enthusiastically.Comfort: for the rider its super comfy.For the pillion it isn't that comfortable but very much manageable.Suspension: will seem hard at first but if you maintain the proper tyre pressure numbers then it'll be amazing.The dampening is so amazing that you won't feel a bump.Headlights: good for village/darker roads.Under streetlights they're worthless.Fit and finish: better than tvs/bajaj, But not even close to suzuki gixxer.Brakes: oh my my! amazing.Just use the front brake bruh.You'll be shocked at the stability even after hard braking.Service: decent.You have to forcefully use their oil.I am using their semi-synthetic oil as of now.

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 torquelow 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.

Bike so many complaints facing to me in after 2nd service headlight running time cut off bike restart never on the headlight, Any time missing, 1st gear 2nd gear 3rd gear all time missing.False gear any time.Rear disc braking time noise iritatting sound.Engine oil cap leakage problem.

This is not just a bike, Its an emotion for bikers, I always ride it with glory, The exhaust sound is just pleasing to heart and mind soothes the cravings when throttle is pulled back, Roaring and gear shifting is class man.M in ❤‍🔥.

Quite good.I'd say the bike is more of a commuter than a sportier approach that it has in the market.The bike comes with a tad bit of add-ons and a basic architecture.At this price point we would expect the bike to have a liquid cooled engine, 6-speed gear box and a trellis frame.The bike has good showa usds up front and nissin braking system with a single channel bosch abs.All digital cluster and led lighting is good and efficient.The seating posture is upright and comfortable for long rides.Overall i'd give a 6/10 rating with my experience.
