Aimed at the young customers, Honda’s CB Hornet 160R gave Honda its breakthrough in the 150cc segment. Unlike previous failed attempts like Trigger and Dazzler, CB Hornet 160R succeeded in drawing customers to showrooms. The chasiss and engine have been borrowed from unicorn 160, besides there is no major resemblance with the latter. Although, Honda has made significant changes to the engine to make it yield enhanced performance. Honda has done justice when it comes to looks and styling, the robust fuel tank featuring plastic cladding lends muscular stance to the bike. The sharp creases on the bike work well for the overall look. Up front is a pleasantly designed head lamp reminiscent of CB 600F. There is a sporty digital speedometer displaying all necessary information for the driver. Handlebar is flat and switchgear seems very elementary. Palm grips are nice and grippy and the X-shaped tail lamp at rear is catchy.
