shravan Harohalli Hi I'm considering the Gixxer for 2000 km plus running monthly in mixed highway and city conditions in and around Mumbai. How much is the running cost ? is it light on the pocket ? is it reliable enough ?
+Mitul Patel yes bro..its quite reliable for to drive in the Mumbai streets. Though mileage may drop in Mumbai compared to hyd..it will not empty your pockets . you can go ahead and take the newer version of it which had disc brakes in the rear also. That's my take..but the final decision is yours.
shravan Harohalli "DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID BRO??" Hornet is powerful than Gixxer I will beat your Gixxers ass with my hornet you know. Honda is best nowadays..Marc Marquez is the FIM MOTOGP 2016 CHAMPION OF TEAM "HONDA". YES HONDA! So..Gixxer sucks LOL.
Been riding Gixxer for past 8 months, A great bike indeed, not as fuel efficient as company claims been getting 45 kmph in city and ground clearance is a concern, but all in all the best value for money,was the bike of the year in 2014 and still is the best in the segment, glad I didnt fall for the FZ V2 trap.
Rahul Raju same here.... Riding it since 2016 August. Engine is great. Clocked around 26500. Done 800kms in 16hrs. Still didn't have any problems. Ridden FZ several times, its pure BS.
all i want to say suzuki gixxer has stolen my heart beat and overtaken all perimeter compared with honda hornet and yamaha fz 2.0 .. i own suzuki gixxer . i m 200 percent confident with the performance and mileage . one plus advantage i would like to share that only suzuki gixxer has door to door service . which i was surprised and was completely satisfied with their hospitality. i thank suzuki company for making me priveledge customer
I've been watching these reviews for a long while, auto journalists nowadays go with the spec sheet, I mean spec sheet rules. If that is the case then micromax should be better than iPhone,now we all know how that goes. In this review Honda & suzuki are no micromaxes. I respect all the brands. My problem is with the reviewers. How much does a 1-2 sec advantage in sprint matter in 150 cc. When the parameters which should matter are more like comfort, design, looks, fuel economy. In gixxer, the pillion seat is useless,also it feels smaller compared to fz. Hornet looks like a bulked up unicorn, raised the tank and widened the tyre,albeit tuning the engine. If I want a fast bike I will get 200ns for nearly the same price. Anyways how fast can we go in cities, maximum 80kmph. Fz is better looking and more refined, plus more comfortable with split seats,they have taken care of the cons of v1. The fuel economy is better than gixxer as well. Honda is launching way too many jokes instead of building a brand, dazzler, trigger, unicorn, hornet.... 4 bikes in the same segment. They should get the dynamics first in india, hornet is their first attempt, Honda is finally taking India seriously but this isn't enough as well. Yamaha has always taken India seriously, with upcoming launches of r25,m03,m15 all international bikes with the same quality. Yamaha also has the better service then both Honda & suzuki. Honda has way too long queues with activas and suzuki has smaller service nerwork Fz is the lowest priced fuel injected bike in India and it gives a different experience. I currently own three vehicles from all three brands and I also work in automotive industry, I have seen product similarities in all three brands for each of its segment. Suzuki have very poor brake suppliers, engine parts aren't easily available, then there are then fit & finish is substandard, good thing :Engines will always have grunt Honda : good fit & finish, smooth engine, poor service, may have false gears, isn't well designed. Yamaha: most balanced in all aspects. Albeit costlier brand, but is worth the money
Today only I took test ride of Hornet, Gixer and FZ V2 ... Hornet is worst..Once you ride Yamaha FZ you wont like other two..Gixxer is competition to FZ but less average and pillion rider seat is small..Go for YAMAHA
Performance wise Gixxer is the best but stability wise fz is the king.Personally I felt fz is much more confident to ride on the road than the Gixxer.Gixxer or hornet can never reach near the braking stability of fz. Not comparing to present Gixxer and hornet with ABS. Yamaha should consider ABS atleast as an option.I too was great fan of Gixxer it's riding ergonomics is so good but when u ride both Gixxer and fz back to back u see fz is still the best to ride the confidence what it offers is unmatchable to the rivals.
Hornet beats Gixxer with its mascullar looks and braking. But Gixxer beats Hornet with all other features like acceleration, Ride comfort, smoothness etc and the main thing is its godlike handling, which will make anyone go on riding the bike even in traffic... I own both the bikes, but i like to ride the gixxer more.
I am very much interested in hornet, still waiting for test ride. Can u please share your experience about hornet. I trust honda in terms engine refinement, low maintenance, and good fuel economy.
+Firoz Shaikh Hornet is among one of the best bikes between the large section of 150/160 cc range. Its looks is awesome and gets many look backs on the road. its braking is superb in the CBS version, Nice smooth engine, comfortable. worth buy. bt in my opinion the gixxer is best...
We have both Gixxer and Hornet at our home. Mine is a Gixxer bought 1 year back and my brother has a hornet bought 2 months back. I sort of like both bikes and both are unique bikes. Hornet is more of an all rounder and where gixxxer has its ups and downs. I like Gixxer as far as looks are concerned but hornet holds its own with a neat design. i felt hornet to be a bit more refined both in terms of engine and looks but gixxer is close by. Hornet's power delivery is good in mid range and top end but is not great at lower Rpmswhich makes you shift your gears more often in city conditions but gixxer has more grunt in lower and mid range RPMS which make for relatively easier handling in heavy traffic conditions. Were Gixxer scores real high over hornet is at the rideability areana. Gixxer is one bike that you can happily throw around corners and is great fun to ride. You have to ride the bike to feel it.Its all about fun but its low ground clearance is a curse. Hornet is bit more stiff and provides better straight line sability and slightly better breaking. I heard that gixxer has a now released a version with the option of disk breaks at the back so that should even out the breaking efficiency of both bikes. When it comes to the bike to choose from,It all boils down to what ultimately you as a rider expects from your bike. If you are some one who likes a hassle free bike wihich is an all rounder then hornet should be your choice but if you are looking for a bike which is fun to ride and is an engaging package with x factor and is willing to over look miner glitches then Gixxer is the bike for you. After sales service of Gixxer is not great but you wont have to regularly visit the service station as it is a solid bike far better than the earlier susuki bikes [ mine has cover 12,000 odd KMs with regular service].
Guyz ... FZ and gixxar jabtak hey . others bike k bare mey soch ne ke koye chance he nehi.Coz those bike are really good. and Am gonna fully support.👍👍👍
being satisfied overall is different and telling the story in favor ignoring what hornet can do is different, overall it is decided when users try take the test ride to max potential.
just i buy Honda Hornet 160r, Best bike till now, look like awesome, gixxer & fzs look like soo bad in front of Hornet.. honda hornet much smooth & more powerful bike ...don't think about others just go for Honda Hornet 160r Best bike 2016
+Raghu Sharma that they charge for liquid cooled fuel injected engine that's not a big issue that's justifies by blue core technology they just need to improve performance to match up the competition
gixxer is really fun to ride ,yamaha too has great handling but lags top end ...while hornet is not sharp in handling .it has smaller size front forks...gixxer makes sense for super smooth engine with its grunty sound..wow its awesome feel!!
in 150CC range you wouldn't look for racing with its genesis of the segmment. First of all you choose 150CC for fuel efficiency and its Yamaha that gives much mileage compared to other two because of its blue core technology(fuel injection), second thing is you would want to be safe and responsive on roads in city while driving, where yamaha has great breaking action compared to gixer and equal to hornet. Handling is really tested when you are driving at speed above the limits :D. Where Yamaha is way more handy than gixer or hornet, otherwise all three vehicles are equally very handy within speed limits. I have fazer v2.0 that gives me mileage of at-least 50Kmpl even at higher rev like 6.5 - 7rpm and its pretty awesome for youngsters, where as the gixer is 42-45kmpl. I don't know about hornet coz the honda says its 60kmpl but as its horsepower is more than both it won't give you that much of mileage.
Are u kidding man!!! fz looks 3 rd in design and look!!!?once u go out from ur home ...u will find atleast 2 r 3 version 2 Fz not GiXer ....u will not got the confidence of riding above 100 speed in gixer...but u u will get that in Fz..
in honda cb hornet is cbs variant good or std variant good for new riders and rural roads because i have heard that cbs causes problems while braking on turns and it is also difficult to adjust cbs brakes at a later stage please tell
+Devender Rao The CBS system was made specifically for newer riders as they used to rely on rear brakes and not utilise the full potential of the braking system. The combi brake system is refined enough to work well on bad roads as well. Adjustment is not much of an issue with these brakes provided you take them to an authorised service centre.
for Yogesh Rao++ for awesome comment, nobody want to accept that we drive in city not on race tracks. I own hornet and god knows why people all around praise so much about its raw power when its just on paper. Hornet practical problems: 1. Loose chain after every 1000 or less kms whereas in FZ it requires around 4000kms or less, no idea about gixxer. 2. Old school head light, when driving around pot holes in night you are on god's mercy 3. Hard gear shift, if you are not convinced with me try FZ and hornet both driven equally. And above all, don't go by reviews and videos. The best thing you can do is take it on rent and drive 50+ kms in all kind of practical traffic conditions.
I expect zigwheels to reply my comment..sir I m gonna buy my 1st bike..nd m a clg going student..I often go for long rides..I want a bike with decent mileage, better power, and maintenance free one, the one which lasts for atleast 4-5 years...I need a value for money bike..m very confused abt fz-v2 and hornet..I hav seem many gixxers which are not gud for long term..so plzzz help me with my confusion..in anticipation of ur reply
Hi Zigwheels Team, The way you've explained was awesome !!! Actually I'm looking for 150cc commuter bike for daily usage . Please consider below as well. 1. I'm 6'' feet tall and lean.. 2. Looking for comfort, good looking, performance, mileage and pillion comfort.. 3. Budget - Less then 90k.. As of now my options are 1. Hornet 2. Sixxer 3. SZ RRv2 Kindly suggest...
could u pls tel abt the practical aspects of Hornet like the pillion comfort, handling on off roads, stability on the soaky roads etc compared with gixxer...???
+Amol Pawar who said it has low ground clearance ? It's more than enough. The balancing, acceleration, speed, digital instrument cluster, handling, milage everything is awesome. There is enough space for pillion, I'm 82kgs and my mom is 91kgs (you can imagine our size) , we sit very comfortably and the bike moves smoothly. Also, due to dual disk brakes, the breaking is too good.
well am a gixxer fan . but truly when you ride these in about 90 + km/hr. well i have to admit that FZ is still the lord. cant beat the confidence and ride handling of fz. its fz the choice for those who fly through highway
+Shreyas k r Get your bike checked, man. The windblast in case of FZ at 100+ is much more than the SF. Also the FZ struggles to cross 110 while SF goes up to 131 if you're riding single WITHOUT entering redline RPM range. I personally managed 127 out of it with under inflated tyres.
+Robin Dogra Pulsar 220F has benefit of disc brake at both ends, projector headlamp and of course is faster also. But the Gixxer SF looks smashing and is a better engineered product with lesser vibes. So pick any of the above based on your needs as both are good motorcycles.
+Robin Dogra Other than speed, looks, headlights, and fit-and-finish levels what else is important to you. 1. Pulsar has many many service centres with good parts availability. 2. Riding posture is more aggressive on Pulsar compared to Gixxer. 3. Gixxer gives better FE. 4. 220F has a more usable seat. My suggestion is to think longterm. In 5 years time, your cihildren may be grown up, mummy may not like to climb sports bikes etc. So think carefully.
i had a unicorn 150 for last 6 yr ,engine was quite good ,no vib till 85kmph, milege 50-55, i sell it and purchase hornet, hornet has lot of vibration even on neutral , engine hav issue , it heats up and compression fails 2 times , its horrible bike, only honda has put fat tyre and incresed price to 90k................... i miss unicorn ,some of my frd has done 100000km on that bike with not a single problem ever other than minor wear tear.........honda is playing double game by putting junk in indian market , earlier honda bikes were good😕😕😕
Hi I have a heck lot of confusion between fz hornet and gixxer my needs are daily commuting of 60+ km and eventual weekend long rides plz suggest me it is my first bike and it should work without any problems for atleast 3 to 4 years thanks
Gixxer is good looks and Hornet has got exceptional handling. Hornet is comfortable as compared to Gixxer. Gixxer can offer you good fuel economy. I would suggest you to ride both the bikes back to back in order to understand the difference.
+hitesh chatriwala Well, yes it is a good bike. Now going ahead with 150 CC or 160 CC is a personal decision. The only effect will be on performance and mileage.
+hitesh chatriwala sir I don't knw of you already got a bike or no but pls stay away from bajaj bikes. I have a service station close to my house and I have seen customers fighting with service station fellow for limited spares not so great performance something or the other goes off amd I'm talking abt new bikes. Where as any of these Japanese bikes will bring a smile on ur face choice is yours sir not discouraging any bajaj bike owner I was one to bit had bitter experience with bajaj so did my other friends we sold off in three yrs now we got different bikes bt not bajaj
Hornet 160R is better than RTR 180. : There is an immense difference in the refinement of the Hornet & the RTR, no two ways about it. The Apache is quicker than the Hornet by a fair margin and feels even quicker. The CB Hornet 160R is a more forgiving bike than the Apache RTR160. Hornet has a longer wheelbase and wider tyres giving it better mechanical grip and stability around corners.. The Apache RTR 180 has slightly sportier ergonomics than the Hornet 160R, thanks to lower handlebars and significantly rear-set footpegs. Honda has undoubtedly proven to be much better than TVS at providing hassle free service support in our country.
+dipesh patel we have shared the comparison video for your ease. You must have gone through the video and we hope that it will help you in making the decision.
i am confuse between unicorn 160cc and cb hornet 160 r. i want your recommendation which one is worth to choose between two. as i read so my negative reviews about unicorn 160cc. please help. or tell me if any another bike which is worth to buy within this price range.
+dipesh patel hornet is much better than gixxer. The review bike was very new, so it will be a little sluggish. Honda shines when it crosses around 5k kms.
+sushant aryal The Hornet and FZ are both equally competent motorcycles in the 150cc segment. We suggest you take a test ride and choose the one you like better since both come from manufacturers renowned for good quality, refinement and performance.
Hi Wanted a suggestion from experts like you.. I want to purchase a bike under 1Lac. My options are 1.Pulsar 180 2.Gixxer 155 3.Hornet 160 4.FZ-S FI 5.Gixxer SF. Which one i should go for? For daily commute. Which bike has low maintenance cost & reliable engine which can last for long?
i am also confused ,but i think gixxer 155 is the best,gixxer sf is also good but it's look is more sportier and will kinda big for a small person. ithink i will go for gixxer,if u buy any1 of them give ur feedback :)
I am a little confused between Hornet CBS and Apache 180 ABS. I had set my mind on apache but then hornet came in and destroyed the peace of my mind. Better looks, mileage, wider rear tyre pull me towards hornet. But more power, speed and ABS are still something I want to have. I am a daily commuter riding 20 kms daily. Plus long routes are also a part of consideration. Please suggest.
so which is worthy Apache 180 abs new or old model or than hornet rear disc i'll cruse to 60 to 80 for daily commute in city rides..? but I heard Apache vibes on 70?how be hornet
The outer parts of fuel tank is made of plastic. I checked at the local dealer. Is this the case with gixxer also ?? I think it will break very easily ...
+Nishat Malik bro seriously, in version upgrades the only thing they are doing is lifling the pillion seat up....I just hate it, that raised tail, feels so ameteur...Hornet feels more mature....r8 now even i'm confused btw Hornet and FZSv2....have been thinking a looooot.... summary of my thoughts: Hornet feels bigger than fzsV2 Hornet's pickup is better fzs handling is better my friend was saying, fzs looks richer still confused
You guys are either not studying the bikes well or making judgements too early. Try riding the bikes above 100kmph and you'll see how good the new fz is. It won't vibrate or wobble even at speeds like that unlike the gixxer or the hornet. And seriously you're ranking it third in looks? Go out in the streets yourself and you're gonna find out how famous the fz v2.0 is in terms of looks. The gixxer and hornet looks like they're 100cc or something. And you should do your homework before making vids, yes they have decreased the power in the new fz but it reaches 0-100 faster than the older one.
What do u mean slower. If you're looking for a racing bike in this 150 cc segment you're kidding yourself. Go for the bennelis, ktms or the kawasakis if you want "fast" bikes.
+faizan ansari I'm just comparing it with gixxer nd hornet in terms of power u fell the difference instantly when u twist the throttle it just feels a bit dull or over refined there is no grunt in it the gixxer or even the apache has a lot of grunt anyways I'm not complaining fz is also a great bike for cruising which neither apache or gixxer is so hey everyone wins lol!
Gixxer in all terms + in bonus you get the sportier sound, mind blowing acceleration(missing in FZ), traditional naked headlamps, radial tire(missing in Hornet) and the GSXR blood.
i am confused to buy bikes ... fs-s v2 vs hornet cb 160 vs 150 pulser which is good look and better quality ... if other bike is better than these plz suggest me .. (main thing which should in bikes is ) 1.leg guard 2.kick 3.nice performation 4.long term best
It more or less seems like the conclusion has been a bit biased towards Gixxer. I have ridden both the bikes.. The seating position is a lot more better on Hornet, both due to the rear set foot pegs and a bit more ground clearance. No doubt the gixxer was quicker in 0-60 acceleration, but the overall throttle response due to more power can be clearly observed in Hornet!! And you also called Gixxer to be a better looker? How could you? The Hornet is clearly more striking with the rear x-shaped led taillight, is muscular, the bigger tier, better alloy wheel design and the carbon fibre finish are clearly better! It even comes with an optional Rear disc, with CBS! Come on! Hornet is clearly a winner, with Honda's refined machinery and smooth, confident ride.. I truly trust you, +Zigwheels , but this time, you had a wrong conclusion.. Sorry.. Disappointed!
Ron Zepplin ohh that's some good numbers....fzs maybe just 2 or 3kmpls more, which is not that much.....bro, I heard there are a lot of issues with gixxer, like smoke coming out of engine, bike revving automatically due to soaking heavily in rain, paint vanishing at the edge tip of tail lamp etc etc...also is the pillion seat comfortable for indian moms to sit one sided....plz share your experience bro, I wanna buy gixxer sf
Ron Zepplin i'm from India bro and SF's ground clearance is exactly the same as FZS....but I didn't like SF, its kinda odd looking, single piece handlebar on a full faired bike, ridiculous....also the pillion seat is not practical at all especially for saree draped women....and air cooled engine is not supposed to have any fairing on it, it should be naked, few of my friends experienced smoke coming out of engine area...fzs is a well rounded bike in all aspects but expensive and less horsepower....hornet is better in all aspects but 37mm thin suspensions doesn't look sporty at all, looks more like a bigger unicorn.. So, gixxer naked is the best I guess
You should go for the gixxer.. As it offers more in gear acceleration , handling experience and high revs....Hornet has more power on paper but gixxer has the upper hand on road...Hornet is better in brakes and pillion comfort...Rest all of aspects the gixxer shines...I too had the confusion and researched a lot now its been 1 month since i bought gixxer its a superb bike....Its simply...provokes u to rev it....its a beast go for it..as honda s simply overpriced ...You may see the bike dehko and power drift reviews as well telling gixxer is better
I had a doubt. I recently purchased gixxer dual tone dual disc model. The gear shifting is too hard. Its unlike pulsar and hornet. The gear shft iin those bikes is too smooth. But in this one im finding it a bit too hard. Like after the secind gear, i literally need to apply strength to pull it up to the third. Is there anything i can do ? the service center people said that the gear shift is working normally and there is no problem ?
My average riding will be mainly in city condition. But every 2-3 months a ride to mountains(around 500-550 km) .I want good mileage & performance (byk should reach 100 km/hr on highways without any vibration) I have shortlisted 3 bikes hornet,gixxer,apache 200( but mileage is not gd i think so) For which byk i should go buddy please help????? Budget is around 1 ~ 1.20 lacks

Guyz ... FZ and gixxar jabtak hey . others bike k bare mey soch ne ke koye chance he nehi.Coz those bike are really good. and Am gonna fully support.👍👍👍
Hornet is a king 👑
being satisfied overall is different and telling the story in favor ignoring what hornet can do is different, overall it is decided when users try take the test ride to max potential.
that back wheelie was lit 😍
Hornet is way ahead the other two....Honda engines are maintenance free which is quite a plus point in the selection
Dark Knight hahahah u can have a look at people's review they said its pathetic
You have to maintain any bike. No bike is an exception.
just i buy Honda Hornet 160r, Best bike till now, look like awesome, gixxer & fzs look like soo bad in front of Hornet..
honda hornet much smooth & more powerful bike ...don't think about others just go for Honda Hornet 160r Best bike 2016
dude please upload video
right
+surendra pathak yes its a awesome byk....pick up is great riding is very comfortable over all its better when compare to other
+surendra pathak what colour bro?
Red bhai
I really like the way u have shot the video and the music too ... Nice... :)
My pulsar 150 2013 now Also above 126kmpl... Very smooth nd Safety one..
Hornet looks much better than the lot.
@Gurnski Deti hey watch your language hornet is the best
Yamaha in trouble
Yamaha got to pull up their socks otherwise gixxer and hornett gonna rule Indian roads in 150cc segment in 2016
+Gaurav Bedi Yamaha is overpriced as well.
+Raghu Sharma that they charge for liquid cooled fuel injected engine that's not a big issue that's justifies by blue core technology they just need to improve performance to match up the competition
+Gaurav Bedi its not a liquid cooled engine.. it is air cooled..
sorry my bad i mean to say fuel injected air cooled
improve in performance may also up price by 10K. still be overpriced!
gixxer is really fun to ride ,yamaha too has great handling but lags top end ...while hornet is not sharp in handling .it has smaller size front forks...gixxer makes sense for super smooth engine with its grunty sound..wow its awesome feel!!
in 150CC range you wouldn't look for racing with its genesis of the segmment.
First of all you choose 150CC for fuel efficiency and its Yamaha that gives much mileage compared to other two because of its blue core technology(fuel injection), second thing is you would want to be safe and responsive on roads in city while driving, where yamaha has great breaking action compared to gixer and equal to hornet. Handling is really tested when you are driving at speed above the limits :D. Where Yamaha is way more handy than gixer or hornet, otherwise all three vehicles are equally very handy within speed limits.
I have fazer v2.0 that gives me mileage of at-least 50Kmpl even at higher rev like 6.5 - 7rpm and its pretty awesome for youngsters, where as the gixer is 42-45kmpl. I don't know about hornet coz the honda says its 60kmpl but as its horsepower is more than both it won't give you that much of mileage.
yes ! I knew .....n proud to own one gixxer
None of the bikes will disappoint you. I own a Gixxer. Incredibly fun to ride...always puts smile on your face. it's quite a head turner too.
Are u kidding man!!! fz looks 3 rd in design and look!!!?once u go out from ur home ...u will find atleast 2 r 3 version 2 Fz not GiXer ....u will not got the confidence of riding above 100 speed in gixer...but u u will get that in Fz..
as expected :P
hail giXXer
hail gixxer
After 6:17 real story started...
Gixxer & SF is best in segment
Hr mamle me hornet and gixxer aage h. Lekin roads pr zyada apache 160 4v or fz he dikhai deti h or in ki sale bhi zyada h.
Aisa qqqqq. Koi btayega kya
I am riding Gixxer from past 9 months and I am satisfied with performance. Gixxer wins...
i like d refinement of honda engines ♡
in honda cb hornet is cbs variant good or std variant good for new riders and rural roads because i have heard that cbs causes problems while braking on turns and it is also difficult to adjust cbs brakes at a later stage
please tell
+Devender Rao The CBS system was made specifically for newer riders as they used to rely on rear brakes and not utilise the full potential of the braking system. The combi brake system is refined enough to work well on bad roads as well. Adjustment is not much of an issue with these brakes provided you take them to an authorised service centre.
thnku sir
for Yogesh Rao++ for awesome comment, nobody want to accept that we drive in city not on race tracks.
I own hornet and god knows why people all around praise so much about its raw power when its just on paper.
Hornet practical problems:
1. Loose chain after every 1000 or less kms whereas in FZ it requires around 4000kms or less, no idea about gixxer.
2. Old school head light, when driving around pot holes in night you are on god's mercy
3. Hard gear shift, if you are not convinced with me try FZ and hornet both driven equally.
And above all, don't go by reviews and videos. The best thing you can do is take it on rent and drive 50+ kms in all kind of practical traffic conditions.
FZ got matured Design with best in class fuel efficiency. which are lack in both hornet and gixxer. but power wise hornet is best.
I expect zigwheels to reply my comment..sir I m gonna buy my 1st bike..nd m a clg going student..I often go for long rides..I want a bike with decent mileage, better power, and maintenance free one, the one which lasts for atleast 4-5 years...I need a value for money bike..m very confused abt fz-v2 and hornet..I hav seem many gixxers which are not gud for long term..so plzzz help me with my confusion..in anticipation of ur reply
Hi Zigwheels Team, The way you've explained was awesome !!! Actually I'm looking for 150cc commuter bike for daily usage .
Please consider below as well.
1. I'm 6'' feet tall and lean..
2. Looking for comfort, good looking, performance, mileage and pillion comfort..
3. Budget - Less then 90k..
As of now my options are
1. Hornet
2. Sixxer
3. SZ RRv2
Kindly suggest...
hey zigwheel , gixxer and fz got no bs 4 engines . Is it a reason to worry about ?
I was wondering if you could help me out choosing a new hassle free, low maintenance bike , which should I choose Gixxer or Hornet ?
Maintenance is almost same with both bikes. However, we would recommend you to go for Gixxer here.
Thanks yo.
HellBells Inc
HellBells Inc Go for Gixxer great mileage.
HellBells Inc Hornet I own it it's the best
could u pls tel abt the practical aspects of Hornet like the pillion comfort, handling on off roads, stability on the soaky roads etc compared with gixxer...???
the premium that Honda charge over the gixxer is not justified with similar performance
I'm 6.5 height please suggest me which one is the best bike for me 1.pulsar 150
2.yamaha fz v 2
3.honda hornet 160
Usha Prakash go for Honda navi
Ashish Pareek 😂😂😂😂😂
Camel..
Hi,
Please suggest which bike should I buy. Pulsar AS200 or Hornet 160r.
+Amol Pawar I bought gixxer dual disk
+killerhunk1 how's it ? any problems regarding low ground clearance or pillion comfort ?
+Amol Pawar who said it has low ground clearance ? It's more than enough. The balancing, acceleration, speed, digital instrument cluster, handling, milage everything is awesome. There is enough space for pillion, I'm 82kgs and my mom is 91kgs (you can imagine our size) , we sit very comfortably and the bike moves smoothly. Also, due to dual disk brakes, the breaking is too good.
+Amol Pawar *braking 😜
+killerhunk1 That was helpful .. thanx .. So give me a final word bro .. Should I buy hornet or go for gixxer ?
I want to buy the hornet bcz of the CBS and it looks like a beast but are it's parts available and can it be repaired without much hassles?
well am a gixxer fan . but truly when you ride these in about 90 + km/hr. well i have to admit that FZ is still the lord. cant beat the confidence and ride handling of fz. its fz the choice for those who fly through highway
Have you even ridden a Gixxer at those speeds? My SF felt rock solid even at 120+ kmph.
you will get irritated by engine sound and vibration to chassis . admit it refinement and handling is always best from yamaha and honda too
Honestly, I recently did a 100KM ride averaging 100 kmph and I experienced none of that.
well i got SF black still i love to ride my friend's fz and trigger etc..may be some technical issues :)
+Shreyas k r Get your bike checked, man. The windblast in case of FZ at 100+ is much more than the SF. Also the FZ struggles to cross 110 while SF goes up to 131 if you're riding single WITHOUT entering redline RPM range. I personally managed 127 out of it with under inflated tyres.
Sir inme se best kon c bike hogi milage mai or performance mai 1-2 year tak koi problem na ay
Fz sv2
Fz 25
Hornet 160r
which is the best bike apache rtr 180 or hornet 160 R?
apache
hornet 160 R any day
apache the one with abs
no doubt hornet
I trust this guy and go for it! suzuki gixxer Thanks!
+ ZigWheels Do you feel any vibration on suzuki gixxer sf at 100km/h? and is it worth to buy in 150cc segment?
+Sagar Gandhi Gixxer doesn't have any vibrations. It's smooth and confident till the top speed.
+Sagar Gandhi I cruised at 120kmph on my Gixxer SF.. There's no vibration... If your chain is lubed and maintained..
I like hornet more
+codenamearun me also
Those who feel fz is better than gixxer. why dont u guys check other comparisons between gixxer and fz.
Which light can be a good replacement for Suzuki Gixxer's headlamp? Can I get a projector headlamp for the same? Please post the link if you can.
hornet ,fz and suzuki which bike look awesome plzz tell me i wann buy this...
i ned ur suggestion that which one is is good option from Pulsar220F or GixxerSF plz do revert me with best opt.thnks
+Robin Dogra
Pulsar 220F has benefit of disc brake at both ends, projector headlamp and of course is faster also. But the Gixxer SF looks smashing and is a better engineered product with lesser vibes. So pick any of the above based on your needs as both are good motorcycles.
+Arun Mohan Nadar yeah bro stucked in this choice .. whats ur personal choice?
+Robin Dogra Other than speed, looks, headlights, and fit-and-finish levels what else is important to you.
1. Pulsar has many many service centres with good parts availability.
2. Riding posture is more aggressive on Pulsar compared to Gixxer.
3. Gixxer gives better FE.
4. 220F has a more usable seat.
My suggestion is to think longterm. In 5 years time, your cihildren may be grown up, mummy may not like to climb sports bikes etc. So think carefully.
+Robin Dogra go for pulsar 200 RS or KTM 200 or honda 250 R why u de grade you should upgrade to upper segment.
+Keshav Why are you bringing segments of 220/Ktms into this? It makes no sense
i had a unicorn 150 for last 6 yr ,engine was quite good ,no vib till 85kmph, milege 50-55, i sell it and purchase hornet, hornet has lot of vibration even on neutral , engine hav issue , it heats up and compression fails 2 times , its horrible bike, only honda has put fat tyre and incresed price to 90k................... i miss unicorn ,some of my frd has done 100000km on that bike with not a single problem ever other than minor wear tear.........honda is playing double game by putting junk in indian market , earlier honda bikes were good😕😕😕
i am cofused about fzs or hornet can you please suggest me which one would be better
Looking for a touring bike
I am confused between avenger 220 cruize and gizzer SF
Please help sir.
Hi I have a heck lot of confusion between fz hornet and gixxer my needs are daily commuting of 60+ km and eventual weekend long rides plz suggest me it is my first bike and it should work without any problems for atleast 3 to 4 years thanks
Gixxer is good looks and Hornet has got exceptional handling. Hornet is comfortable as compared to Gixxer. Gixxer can offer you good fuel economy. I would suggest you to ride both the bikes back to back in order to understand the difference.
Hey!!
Can You tell me which bike is best to buy not these bike But Some other bike??
I am collage boy I want some styles bike N pls reply
+kunal khanna RTR200
If rear seat space is considered .. hornet is the one to buy.. btw I Love fz v2 despite it's performance drop 🙂(still best in handling and comfort)
for the long ride about 250km hilly road and plain road and city ride also... which bike is good? hornet or gixer ? suggest me.
gixxer has very low ground clearance, go for hornet its the best
All bike reviewers have the same saying, gixxer has turn the game in 150 segment !
Hornet definitely looks better than the others.
can you say which bike good honnert vs gixxer with
fz v2.0 is favourite the after sales services of yamaha is best in this competition also its the only fi motor here
In price of hornet 160 cbs you can buy rtr200 and ns200 so why to spend money on hornet???????
NITISH CHANDRA
it has more milage than those u select
Hello sir I want to buy Honda hornet 160r bike please suggest this bike is a best bike please suggest best bike 150 ya 160 cc please answer me
+hitesh chatriwala Well, yes it is a good bike. Now going ahead with 150 CC or 160 CC is a personal decision. The only effect will be on performance and mileage.
hello sir honda hornet best bike ya bajaj vikrant best bike please suggest best bike for me please
+hitesh chatriwala sir I don't knw of you already got a bike or no but pls stay away from bajaj bikes. I have a service station close to my house and I have seen customers fighting with service station fellow for limited spares not so great performance something or the other goes off amd I'm talking abt new bikes. Where as any of these Japanese bikes will bring a smile on ur face choice is yours sir not discouraging any bajaj bike owner I was one to bit had bitter experience with bajaj so did my other friends we sold off in three yrs now we got different bikes bt not bajaj
which bike should i buy apache rtr 180 or cb hornet ??
Hornet 160R is better than RTR 180. : There is an immense difference in the refinement of the Hornet & the RTR, no two ways about it. The Apache is quicker than the Hornet by a fair margin and feels even quicker. The CB Hornet 160R is a more forgiving bike than the Apache RTR160. Hornet has a longer wheelbase and wider tyres giving it better mechanical grip and stability around corners.. The Apache RTR 180 has slightly sportier ergonomics than the Hornet 160R, thanks to lower handlebars and significantly rear-set footpegs. Honda has undoubtedly proven to be much better than TVS at providing hassle free service support in our country.
ronak gohel dude get the gixxer my recommendation. Good looks great mileage now it comes in fi and disc brakes at the back.
Abhi Nmv You are a moron. After he said Honda has better power than Gixxer how can you recommend the loser like an idiot?
ronak gohel bro go for apache
which is the most comfortable one for long rides?
+pd Charan Barath For long distance ride comfort, the FZ is the best option, closely followed by the Gixxer.
fz is best for long ride
What would be a good bike for a short height person among these? ( 5'5"- 5"6")
which is the best bike in these segment ?
Should i buy honda unicorn 160cc 2015 model or not.
+dipesh patel we have shared the comparison video for your ease. You must have gone through the video and we hope that it will help you in making the decision.
i am confuse between unicorn 160cc and cb hornet 160 r.
i want your recommendation which one is worth to choose between two.
as i read so my negative reviews about unicorn 160cc. please help. or tell me if any another bike which is worth to buy within this price range.
+dipesh patel hornet is much better than gixxer. The review bike was very new, so it will be a little sluggish. Honda shines when it crosses around 5k kms.
i m very confuse which to buy hornet or fz 150 pelase anybody could suggest me ??
+sushant aryal The Hornet and FZ are both equally competent motorcycles in the 150cc segment. We suggest you take a test ride and choose the one you like better since both come from manufacturers renowned for good quality, refinement and performance.
go for fz
14.8 ps at 8000 rpm and 17 ps at 9500 rpm..
which is best.. plszz help
first is low to mid 2nd is mid to top.
Hi
Wanted a suggestion from experts like you..
I want to purchase a bike under 1Lac.
My options are
1.Pulsar 180
2.Gixxer 155
3.Hornet 160
4.FZ-S FI
5.Gixxer SF.
Which one i should go for?
For daily commute.
Which bike has low maintenance cost & reliable engine which can last for long?
i am also confused ,but i think gixxer 155 is the best,gixxer sf is also good but it's look is more sportier and will kinda big for a small person. ithink i will go for gixxer,if u buy any1 of them give ur feedback :)
+nakul sharma
sure brother
Chitvan Dholakia buy Gixxer its the beast
Chitvan Dholakia hornet
I am a little confused between Hornet CBS and Apache 180 ABS. I had set my mind on apache but then hornet came in and destroyed the peace of my mind. Better looks, mileage, wider rear tyre pull me towards hornet. But more power, speed and ABS are still something I want to have. I am a daily commuter riding 20 kms daily. Plus long routes are also a part of consideration. Please suggest.
Go for Hornet, Apache has ABS and better power but the ergonomics aren't as good as Hornets.
so which is worthy Apache 180 abs new or old model or than hornet rear disc i'll cruse to 60 to 80 for daily commute in city rides..? but I heard Apache vibes on 70?how be hornet
gixxer 155 or pulsar AS 150 plzzz tell ur opinion nd reason behind that.. m waiting. i want to buy a new bike so plzzz give me some advice. 😄
Himansh Chauhan Ye pulsar koi brand hua bhai?? Bajaj is not comparable with Honda bro. LOL You're making a joke here. BAJAJ Hahaha
Hello zigwheels,
I am too much confused between Hornet 160R and Unicorn 150 . and what is actual mileage of Hornet. please help me out?
It has a claimed fuel efficiency of 60 KMPL. It is subjective as it depends on the way your ride your bike.
my hornet gives 40 km/l milage before first servicing and after it giving 43 km/l in town ...
can you tell me u facing noiseing sound in you engine
damn !!!!! that stoppie on fz... :D:D. marvelous shot .
The outer parts of fuel tank is made of plastic. I checked at the local dealer. Is this the case with gixxer also ?? I think it will break very easily ...
Which one is better tell me i want to purchase one of above plzzxx
should I buy the honda hornet or the yamaha fz-s ver 2.0 . Pls help
+raj omm prakash go for hornet fz is out of the game. or wait for the yamaha m-slaze
+Nishat Malik thanks for your suggestion
+Nishat Malik bro seriously, in version upgrades the only thing they are doing is lifling the pillion seat up....I just hate it, that raised tail, feels so ameteur...Hornet feels more mature....r8 now even i'm confused btw Hornet and FZSv2....have been thinking a looooot....
summary of my thoughts:
Hornet feels bigger than fzsV2
Hornet's pickup is better
fzs handling is better
my friend was saying, fzs looks richer
still confused
+sandeep natikar true fz-s looks better than the hornet but regarding mileage hornet is best....Go for the hornet
Please race between apache 160 4v, gixxer , pulsar ns 160 & hornet
You guys are either not studying the bikes well or making judgements too early. Try riding the bikes above 100kmph and you'll see how good the new fz is. It won't vibrate or wobble even at speeds like that unlike the gixxer or the hornet. And seriously you're ranking it third in looks? Go out in the streets yourself and you're gonna find out how famous the fz v2.0 is in terms of looks. The gixxer and hornet looks like they're 100cc or something. And you should do your homework before making vids, yes they have decreased the power in the new fz but it reaches 0-100 faster than the older one.
+faizan ansari you are a Yamaha user. thanks for confirming that. still i ll choose HONDA.
Yep you do look like you'll choose a honda.
yes fz is faster than the previous version but still slower than gixxer nd Honda
What do u mean slower. If you're looking for a racing bike in this 150 cc segment you're kidding yourself. Go for the bennelis, ktms or the kawasakis if you want "fast" bikes.
+faizan ansari I'm just comparing it with gixxer nd hornet in terms of power u fell the difference instantly when u twist the throttle it just feels a bit dull or over refined there is no grunt in it the gixxer or even the apache has a lot of grunt anyways I'm not complaining fz is also a great bike for cruising which neither apache or gixxer is so hey everyone wins lol!
which is best for regular usage
+Saravanan Sps Gixxer.
Gixxer in all terms + in bonus you get the sportier sound, mind blowing acceleration(missing in FZ), traditional naked headlamps, radial tire(missing in Hornet) and the GSXR blood.
+Sourav Golui On Indian roads Normal tubeless bias tyres make more sense than Radial tyres
Baap of all Bikes Yes Yamaha....Fz v2.0 My love
i am confused to buy bikes ...
fs-s v2 vs hornet cb 160 vs 150 pulser
which is good look and better quality ...
if other bike is better than these plz suggest me ..
(main thing which should in bikes is )
1.leg guard
2.kick
3.nice performation
4.long term best
Honda is Honda..Hornet more comfortable & good millage in 160cc range..Approx 45/50..
+Milan Dutta dude just compare the prices.....160r gonna cost u 97k
gixxer is a better optn 1
which bike is suitable for short rider 5'4
It more or less seems like the conclusion has been a bit biased towards Gixxer. I have ridden both the bikes..
The seating position is a lot more better on Hornet, both due to the rear set foot pegs and a bit more ground clearance.
No doubt the gixxer was quicker in 0-60 acceleration, but the overall throttle response due to more power can be clearly observed in Hornet!!
And you also called Gixxer to be a better looker? How could you? The Hornet is clearly more striking with the rear x-shaped led taillight, is muscular, the bigger tier, better alloy wheel design and the carbon fibre finish are clearly better! It even comes with an optional Rear disc, with CBS!
Come on! Hornet is clearly a winner, with Honda's refined machinery and smooth, confident ride..
I truly trust you, +Zigwheels , but this time, you had a wrong conclusion.. Sorry.. Disappointed!
I m very confused between gixxer 155 and hornet 160 R.. please suggest me a perfect bike... I want a perfect sporty experience..
Seriously,,the rider is biased towards honda, not an honest review
but one big question, which has got the best fuel efficiency ??
Ron Zepplin Bro, many are saying its fzs v2 which has the best fuel economy among these, due to its fuel injection, less cc and less weight
Ron Zepplin ohh that's some good numbers....fzs maybe just 2 or 3kmpls more, which is not that much.....bro, I heard there are a lot of issues with gixxer, like smoke coming out of engine, bike revving automatically due to soaking heavily in rain, paint vanishing at the edge tip of tail lamp etc etc...also is the pillion seat comfortable for indian moms to sit one sided....plz share your experience bro, I wanna buy gixxer sf
Ron Zepplin i'm from India bro and SF's ground clearance is exactly the same as FZS....but I didn't like SF, its kinda odd looking, single piece handlebar on a full faired bike, ridiculous....also the pillion seat is not practical at all especially for saree draped women....and air cooled engine is not supposed to have any fairing on it, it should be naked, few of my friends experienced smoke coming out of engine area...fzs is a well rounded bike in all aspects but expensive and less horsepower....hornet is better in all aspects but 37mm thin suspensions doesn't look sporty at all, looks more like a bigger unicorn..
So, gixxer naked is the best I guess
should i take hornet or gixxer.. suggest me plz.
Go for Gixxer, fresh looks better ergonomics, technically everything that you need.
You should go for the gixxer..
As it offers more in gear acceleration , handling experience and high revs....Hornet has more power on paper but gixxer has the upper hand on road...Hornet is better in brakes and pillion comfort...Rest all of aspects the gixxer shines...I too had the confusion and researched a lot now its been 1 month since i bought gixxer its a superb bike....Its simply...provokes u to rev it....its a beast go for it..as honda s simply overpriced ...You may see the bike dehko and power drift reviews as well telling gixxer is better
apache
hornet
thanks for reviewing with fz and gixxer
Gixer has a low ground clearance, which makes it difficult to get through bad and bumpy roads
Fzs Is The Best Bike In The World...................
I had a doubt. I recently purchased gixxer dual tone dual disc model. The gear shifting is too hard. Its unlike pulsar and hornet. The gear shft iin those bikes is too smooth. But in this one im finding it a bit too hard. Like after the secind gear, i literally need to apply strength to pull it up to the third. Is there anything i can do ? the service center people said that the gear shift is working normally and there is no problem ?
Well, it is a new bike, ride it for sometime and then it'll loosen up. If it doesn't then you can get it checked again.
+ZigWheels thankyou
My average riding will be mainly in city condition.
But every 2-3 months a ride to mountains(around 500-550 km) .I want good mileage & performance (byk should reach 100 km/hr on highways without any vibration)
I have shortlisted 3 bikes hornet,gixxer,apache 200( but mileage is not gd i think so)
For which byk i should go buddy please help?????
Budget is around 1 ~ 1.20 lacks
+Himanshu sharma You may consider Apache 200. Awesome handling and mileage is so far good. Rest, go ahead and take a test drive. :)
Hornet is way ahead the other two....Honda engines are maintenance free which is quite a plus point in the selection
Hornet is best
