+Puli Kutty remember our test bike was brand new and thus needs a running in and change of oil to post better numbers. In-gear isn't great because power is top-end centric, so more fun in higher revs. Duke 390's braking isn't great, as we all know!
+MotorBeam 2015 Yamaha R1 also has round discs, so according to you it doesn't brake well? and the upcoming bmw g310r also has round discs, must be bad in braking I guess :P Petal discs are purely cosmetic!
What i understood is Hornet has more power up top where Gixxer has a good low and mid range.. that is why in gear acceleration is better in Gixxer.. but What I do not agree with you is the look.. Hornet doesn't look bad but Gixxer has more curves and the design is futuristic. But what I'm surprised to hear that Hornet has a better handling?? I mean really? Gixxer is like the best handling bike ever..
Just look how the rider looks when they ride both the bikes. the rider on the hornet looks puny and weird due to the big size of the bike. The grip on handle looks and feels very commuter like. The gixxer looks and feels to suit the typical Indian Physique perfectly. The slightly more committed seating is the highlight of a streetfighter which the hornet misses out.
+MsCooldude16 Indian physique? I am 6", I have friends of 5'3 and 6'3 ranging from 52 to 114kgs. What is Indian physique? Gixxer is more committed hence less comfy as stated and Hornet is big but more suited to a guy like me so it being comfortable bad for a bike? Both r very good so a guy shud choose acc to his need size and personal preference. Generally Taller guys like big bulky bikes..
I own a Gixxer and I don't find this offensive. I want Honda to bring in the engine kill switch, it is really useful especially in our congested cities. Suzuki must improve on their paint job, their service network and the harsh gear shift. The pillion seat on the Gixxer is annoying to the rider and the pillion. I don't know about the ride and handling of a Hornet, but I am satisfied with the Gixxer's.
+Ravin Chandra we really appreciate you for being truthful about your bike, we all should be like you and not try to hide our bike's fault just because we own it.
I disagree with you on looks and Handling.. I cannot believe you said that Hornet has better looks then Gixxer, agree there are some goods in hornet, but definitely Gixxer looks better, and handling... Gixxer is the best....for sure

gixxer looks cheaper but for riders its best !! FZs is my choice for city riding specially small cities with larger crowed and narrow roads , you get FI with powerful break !! Hornet is also good choice specially new colors if you ride on highways normally !! BUT FOR city ride within 90 kmph there is no bike more suitable then 1.FZs ( first because FI and powerful break and awesome look with great pillion seat ) and 2.gixxer ( on the second because of looks and pillion seat ) ITS simple , no confusion !! All bikes are good , don't think too much , buy them and enjoy safe ride !!
This review has been really helpful in choosing my bike. I had taken a test ride of Gixxer before watching this and was certain of owning one but decided to give hornet a try and was not disappointed at all. The best thing about a honda is the refined vibration less engine which is tweaked in hornet to give better performance in the range 30 to 70 kmph. Acceleration felt linear with the throttle. And then comes the suspension which I personally felt smoother than gixxer. Wider handles felt way better for leaning but I wish they had put metal end tips on them. Chain in hornet has a peculiar sound which adds to the ride but no big deal, killswitch is a miss. Hornet has a taller seating so being 184 cm, feels well positioned and upright. Totally happy with CB hornet, excitement everyday to and fro since six months, Thanks for the video!!
Hi Faisal, I have bought my new Hornet 2weeks back based on ur comparison and I must say its amazing bike provides great comfort ,build quality is solid and superb handling The mileage I am getting is 40 kmpl in city traffic, The milage figure improves after first service as I hear from some people, Is it true?
MotorBeam correct...you are just supporting Honda in this review Most peoplehere says Gixer is better among the two...again you are arguing...Don't mislead people
I thinks look wise gixxer is more sportier...but Honda has decent looks with little sportiness... which appeals young professionals rather than college students...
people fight for their own bikes...and in the end people buy what they like... This review is awesome as it clearly states what are being offered....I loved it.. it helped me refining my decision about bike I want to buy.
Hornet is fresh as well as powerful, gixxer's surely gonna get tough competition. its proved that Honda makes comfortable bikes so hornet is probably going to hit A proud owner of Honda showroom
Im seeing more gixxers on road than hornets after recent upgrade. But im seeing more new FZ's than both gixxers and hornets combined with no upgrades at all! You cant judge reality by specs alone
True review! One thing, people failed to notice that Gixxer has a smaller tail section because of which it feels a lot slower when a pillion is on board. Hornet has a sturdier rear section it takes more weight without settling down.
lol ! motogp has definitely no relation,but HONDA has a relation to Honda's Indian products! by motogp i meant team HONDA at motogp Valentino Rossi left HONDA for same reason n now 2015 motogp championship was spoiled by HONDA!
+akash gupta because you don't like Honda? Check out our Unicorn vs Gixxer review and see who won, similarly see the SF vs Fazer vs AS 150 review and see who won.
+MotorBeam yup.today i have completed ride for 200 km and as i told long ride this is best and handiling is perfect .and for the night riding the head lamp is gives an great lighting power.One one of main attraction is the X shaped back light
Well i can't possibly fathom why most of the Educated Folks is retorting that It's a paid Review by MOTORBEAM & #mb is biased towards Honda! Like seriously, have u guys seen the Earlier videos rendered by MB, say for eg the review of Fzs fi vs Suzuki Gixxer vs Honda cb unicorn 160..MOTORBEAM had clearly stated on that review & even declared Gixxer as the winner Hands down! So why don't you said that time MOTORBEAM was biased? Actually if you folks think you are leagues ahead of MOTORBEAM candid Blog, then go ahead & create your own blog!! I am following MB since 2008 & nowhere did i ever observed that they were kinda biased! I have had my brief Romance with Fzs fi & Gixxer, & I can easily conclude the Fzs fi is the better bike of the two! Acceleration is not the only parameter to reckon when you Purchase a Bike! Sure its costly but Add fuel injection to Gixxer & get ready for Facepalm! I have recently taken comprehensive test ride of Cb hornet 160R & my mind changed in a jiffy, earlier I was a fan of Gixxer too!! Thank you! Don't fight with the one who enlighten us even without charging your bucks.......😊
I have gixxer and from my opinion there is room for improvement for Suzuki like gear shifting is annoying af...back seat is little bit smaller and uncomfortable for women's...ground clearance could be better for Indian roads and last is Suzuki needs to work on paintjob..very limited colours to choose and not a single Matt colour is available..overall bike is fun to ride and looks good and one more thing handling of gixxer is much better than hornet due to its good power to Weight ratio and it's very nimble bike
Hello, the slow motion effect on that wheelie shot looks great but sudden jerking with the bike looks so gross man... otherwise your videos are very detailed with good presentation.
Thanks for review. I was really expecting good results from hornet. Specially due to the 'uncomfortable pillion seat' and 'low clearance issues', Gixxer made me wait for another bike.
Yes as per reviews Hornet seems very good. Style, fuel Efficiency, power, breaking and comfort are well balanced (though I am bit worried about slight higher weight mentioned) Once Hornet reaches my city showroom the test drive will clear the remaining answers. Hoping for best :)
first logical review to the facts in many months, I m sick of this gixxer being the winner as it lacks the most important thing pillion space, I don't like traveling alone
+Julius Nadar I agree, with the pillion it is a pain. But me on the other hand prefer to ride alone, so I am satisfied with the gixxer. But I hate the hard gear shift, the not so good paint job and the bad service of the Suzuki.
engine kill switch and gear change indicator are missing in hornet but its ground clearence is much much better than gixxer and whenever u ll ride through a bump u can hear sound in gixxer as its ground clearence is low and i dont think its good being an indian u needs to deal with indian streets.
+gaurab biswas Why are you sad?? You got the best bike..Just because Hornet won this doesn't mean your bike became useless.. And Hornet is more expensive as well..
+gaurab biswas Seriously? Don't cry. Gixxer is not a bad bike. Think about my situation, I had the budget to buy a CBR 150R but chose the Gixxer and I am satisfied with it, i feel it to be more practical for our cities. (My opinion)
Finally I test ride both the bikes. My confusion over stiff suspension of hornet wiped out. I test ride hornet over bad u der construction road n found suspension very comfortable n on softer side. I after I test ride gixxer. Both bikes r on same level in terms of engine performance and comfort, exhaust sound of gixxer is on better side . But based on better after sale service and a good pillion seat for long drive I choose hornet 160r as my next upgrade.
+Firoz Shaikh Thanks Firoz your comment it cleared my confusion too :D I'm also going for Hornet 160 because of good pillion seat and I didn't found its exhaust note bad either its not as good as gixxer but its good.
+MotorBeam The handling of a motorcycle is judged based on how well the motorcycle is able to tackle corners, how easy it is to maneuver, how planted to the tarmac and how stable it is and also how much feedback it offer the rider. In this respect, the Gixxer wins over the Hornet 160R. If Honda would have put MRF Revvs tyres like on the Gixxer instead of MRF Zappers, it would have greatly improved the feedback and handling of the Hornet. In my opinion, if you change the tyres on the Hornet to a better one, the Hornet and the Gixxer are equal...and the frame what we call chassis is better in GIXXER.. ...
+youtube lover the Hornet takes time to get used to but once you do, you will find the handling to be as good as the Gixxer, the better tyres make it better.
It's a really great move for every kind of rider's,as well as the manufacturer's also, implementing their new thoughts to put it ... I'm very happy to hear d's kind of great news, buddy. .
I have two concerns 1. Y peoples r criticising hornet 160r so much. No body is believing Honda, why? 2. Honda again promises to launched more two wheelers in 2016, and I have already booked hornet 160r. I am tensed if Honda launches a competitive bike in 150cc range. I please respond.
+MotorBeam, Honda has promised to launch again 11 to 12 vehicles this year also. In the coming autoexpo 2016, will Honda launch new bike in addition to new scooter as advertised by them as Navi.
+MotorBeam, I read about Honda is going to launch some India patented 150 cc bike. What I think Honda has got awakened and they r now really thinking for the Indian customers.
+XypherGhost, gixxer n hornet has neck to neck competition. But that is true hornet looks more matured. One most important hornet is a step ahead of 150-160 cc segment, by provide a big body that means it is like cross over more than a naked bike. From distance if see it looks more than 250 cc bike. I already bought hornet this month.
Is the cb hornet 160r cbs very heavy than the gixxer? Can we feel the 7kgs difference? Please help me, I am confused between the hornet and gixxer because people tell that hornet is a very heavy machine. Somebody please tell me whether we can feel the 7kgs difference? Or it really so heavy? Please tell me. If we ride both the bikes does the hornet feel heavy?
True. There is no pillion seat at all in Gixxer. My brother wants to buy Gixxer, I am trying hard to convince him not to. But then hornet doesn't have kill switch. WTF!! I guess I we should settle for Pulsar 150!!
well done motorbeam...keep up the good work...but I have a doubt regarding the hornet...as per online articles BS IV fuel isnt currently available in small towns and cities and wont be available until 2017....so what will happen if we use BS III fuel in the Hornet 160R?? what are the risks of doing so?? wish u throw some light on this matter...thanks in advance...
a really good comparision motorbeam . always go for honda bikes because they have better engine technologies and provide great performance even after decent usage for some years.
I've done 2K Kms with hornet (CBS). It's fun to ride in city as well as on highways. I can cruise 80-90 KMH with ease with out any vibration. If I ride it 50-55 KMH in city, it returns 50kmpl.
You nailed it guys. excellent make this time. you guys are doing just great, keep up. finally we have got two good choices for youths. very nice watching it
I think Hornet 160R is a better bike than Gixxer 150. Now many will argue that gixxer is better. Frankly speaking its related to requirements so if anyone is needed to select which bike is better don't be biased, get a test ride then decide. Each bike has some pros and cons. For me Hornet is better the reasons are: 1. Good city milage around 53kmpl+ I am getting and on highway around 60kmpl+ which I find great as daily I travel around 50kms (with traffic). 2. Good seat for the rider as well as for the pillion. For weekend tours where we travel for 100kmph constantly with minor fluctuations to 80kmph sometimes we get around 48kmpl+ milage, and most important is that the seat is so comfy that neither the rider or pillion needs to stop for 1 and half hours. Infact the seating position is simply awesome. 3. Brakes are awesome. 4. All 150cc category bikes fall in the category of sports commuter so no matter whatever we try at the end of day they are all fast city commuters they are not racing machines. So guys who ever is saying gixxer is faster and can beat hornet or pulsar so let me assure one thing when it comes to streets it all depends on the rider mostly. I have bitten gixxer many times with my hornet. But if someone really wants a racing bike please go for KTM duke/RC 200 or 390 they have more of BHP for torque as well as Power.
Thanks, Motor Beam for a detailed comparison. Can you suggest me which one is best among Gixxer SF and Hornet? I'm aware SF as the name says its a Faired version. Im looking for better """build quality, suspension, smooth engine and handling"". As in your review i came to know pillion seating is not so good in gixxer. Is it really a discomfort in case of gixxer? Please suggest me based on the above factor as I'm bit confused in choosing between Gixxer SF and Hornet.
Hi, Awesome review. Had a most persisting question, is Hornet comfortable in potholes and bad roads or very stiff. How does Gixxer fare in this department and its relative comparison with hornet
This review is spot-on. After spending days reading reviews, I visited both showrooms and test rode both machines. My verdict: Hornet is much more smooth, comfortable and better looking than the Gixxer. Both bikes are very closely matched in almost everything else, but what made me book the Hornet is the gorgeous but simple looks and the ride height. Personally, I felt the Gixxer design too try-hard..
just want to ask,in high speed stability,there is exactly how much difference between hornet and gixxer,i mean is the difference is minimal or very huge
Hi, I am currently driving a 2009 CBZ Xtreme...It has done 60,000 km and is doing pretty good... Right now, I am confused whether I should buy a new bike or should I wait for some more time... Please answer my below questions... 1.What is the life span of a motorcycle?Is this the right time to buy a new bike?My bike has been maintained properly, both tyres have been changed in 2015 and it is running without any major problems.Should I buy a new bike or can I wait for some more time? 2.If I want to buy a new bike, which one should I buy?I like Honda Hornet, Suzuki Gixxer and Bajaj Avenger Street 220.I like the Avenger because of unmatched comfort and looks, but I was told that it is good only in a straight line and is prone to skidding.
So is Hornet still a better choice after 1 year? I mean does the bike has any problem? I like Gixxer but I mostly lean towards Honda because of the reliability of the company.
LOL...In another video he compares gixxer with hornet and pulsar ns 160 and picks gixxer as the winner...Man can you make up your mind first?
Girlfriend ho to hornet, or na ho to gixxer. Simple
😂😂😂
😆🙄
Based on what parameters hornet wins here, the reasons given in the video are vague, Shortcomings of the bike as observed from the video:
1)The bike is not true to its power on paper (15.8 ps)
2) Despite having a bigger engine it fails in in-gear acceleration (Lazy ASS Honda did not bother to change the gearing from uni 160)
3) In outright acceleration (0-100) the difference from gixxer is in milliseconds only (Again poor engineering, does not put the power properly on road)
4) Most cycle parts are carried over from old models (chassis, headlight same as commuter unicorn, console same as trigger)
5) Heck even the top speed diff is too low to even matter
6)Finally the "fantastic" CBS praised in the video comes at nearly 1 lakh on road with the bike lacking DC lighting, proper switch gear and radial tyres at that price
Positives : Better pillion seat, 3 pot calipers in front and "Wave discs", lol (BTW even duke 390 has a round disc)
Honda is a hugely successful manufacturer in India, with their profit margins they could have done much better instead we get this!
Well put together:)
+Puli Kutty remember our test bike was brand new and thus needs a running in and change of oil to post better numbers.
In-gear isn't great because power is top-end centric, so more fun in higher revs.
Duke 390's braking isn't great, as we all know!
+MotorBeam Can you please tell me how in gear acceleration is measured. is it measured at constant rpm less than max torque rpm ?
+MotorBeam 2015 Yamaha R1 also has round discs, so according to you it doesn't brake well? and the upcoming bmw g310r also has round discs, must be bad in braking I guess :P
Petal discs are purely cosmetic!
+Puli Kutty You couldn't be more logical. The Hornet just looks like a cosmetic change over the Unicorn.
I miss this motorbeam era
What i understood is Hornet has more power up top where Gixxer has a good low and mid range.. that is why in gear acceleration is better in Gixxer.. but What I do not agree with you is the look.. Hornet doesn't look bad but Gixxer has more curves and the design is futuristic. But what I'm surprised to hear that Hornet has a better handling?? I mean really? Gixxer is like the best handling bike ever..
+Mik. Ban Gixxer has good handling but the Hornet offers more grip and once you get used to it, it feels more composed due to the higher weight.
MotorBeam understood.. What about front end feedback in the hornet ? Vague or as communicative as Gixxer's
Just look how the rider looks when they ride both the bikes. the rider on the hornet looks puny and weird due to the big size of the bike. The grip on handle looks and feels very commuter like. The gixxer looks and feels to suit the typical Indian Physique perfectly. The slightly more committed seating is the highlight of a streetfighter which the hornet misses out.

Both r very good so a guy shud choose acc to his need size and personal preference. Generally Taller guys like big bulky bikes..
Talking about the general Indian Height. Not about "your height". Your friends with lower height would be more comfortable with the gixxer.
I own a Gixxer and I don't find this offensive. I want Honda to bring in the engine kill switch, it is really useful especially in our congested cities. Suzuki must improve on their paint job, their service network and the harsh gear shift. The pillion seat on the Gixxer is annoying to the rider and the pillion. I don't know about the ride and handling of a Hornet, but I am satisfied with the Gixxer's.
+Ravin Chandra we really appreciate you for being truthful about your bike, we all should be like you and not try to hide our bike's fault just because we own it.
you are correct, the pillion seat is hard and is not comfortable even for a 10 mins ride..
Bro even i faced the same,but with 200/-pay,I changed the seat very comfortable...
rudraraju krishna That's great. Do you have a design of it? I would like to know how you did it. :)
+rudraraju krishna wow sent seat pics..i want to do that..
For this video I am going to buy My Hornet. Yah !!!
I disagree with you on looks and Handling..
I cannot believe you said that Hornet has better looks then Gixxer, agree there are some goods in hornet, but definitely Gixxer looks better, and handling... Gixxer is the best....for sure
+suhaib hyder ride the Hornet, you will be surprised. Looks are always subjective though.
Yeh motorbeam wale khud bolte he low and mid range power gixxer ka better he. fir bolte he looks are subjective. GIXXER HAS BOTH LOOKS AND PERFORMANCE. stop misguiding people motorbeam
+MotorBeam exactly, looks are subjective. You are no one to say Hornet looks better with 'UNIQUE color' , that was lame
suhaib hyder hey u can't say that gixxer is a better looker because that what u like i dom't like the gixxer so thats subjective
Bro if gixxer got the handling then hornet gets the better brakes
1 lakh for hornet !!!
and it's still struggle to meet up with 1 year old Gixxer
a proud owner of gixxer
+Nirmal P Rajan how many kms have you done?
16000
+Nirmal P Rajan how is Suzuki service?
okey i guess...
but they charge too much and sincere technicians are rare
Here i have 3 different service centers i have tried 3 of them
i don't know about other services because it's my first bike ;)
I think it's the area they should improve
+Nirmal P Rajan hi buddy, I am planning to but 1 out of these two, can you tell me in which section Suzuki leaves Honda behind?
Best bike in the Hornet !

+elixir9th that's a superb comparison and ownership experience between both the bikes. Thanks for sharing, will surely help a lot of people.
MotorBeam thanks MotorBeam
I was looking for this comparison. Thanks for making it.
+Amish Trivedi we are glad it helped.
gixxer looks cheaper but for riders its best !! FZs is my choice for city riding specially small cities with larger crowed and narrow roads , you get FI with powerful break !! Hornet is also good choice specially new colors if you ride on highways normally !!
BUT FOR city ride within 90 kmph
there is no bike more suitable then 1.FZs ( first because FI and powerful break and awesome look with great pillion seat ) and 2.gixxer ( on the second because of looks and pillion seat )
ITS simple , no confusion !!
All bikes are good , don't think too much , buy them and enjoy safe ride !!
Exactly, take a test ride and zero in on the one you like the most.
Shivendra Shukla
You guys are getting better and better with the videos. Keep it up!
+RAMI thank you for the kind words.
Both the bikes are great. I own a Gixxer. Very quick on it's feet and extremely fun to ride.
True that.
This review has been really helpful in choosing my bike. I had taken a test ride of Gixxer before watching this and was certain of owning one but decided to give hornet a try and was not disappointed at all. The best thing about a honda is the refined vibration less engine which is tweaked in hornet to give better performance in the range 30 to 70 kmph. Acceleration felt linear with the throttle. And then comes the suspension which I personally felt smoother than gixxer. Wider handles felt way better for leaning but I wish they had put metal end tips on them. Chain in hornet has a peculiar sound which adds to the ride but no big deal, killswitch is a miss. Hornet has a taller seating so being 184 cm, feels well positioned and upright. Totally happy with CB hornet, excitement everyday to and fro since six months, Thanks for the video!!
Hi Faisal, I have bought my new Hornet 2weeks back based on ur comparison and I must say its amazing bike provides great comfort ,build quality is solid and superb handling
The mileage I am getting is 40 kmpl in city traffic, The milage figure improves after first service as I hear from some people, Is it true?
Yes it's true. Make sure to run in the bike.
Hornet is truly the winner! Thanks for the honest comparison (others are like paid by Suzuki lol..) :)
+meeraj bhavsar most welcome ;-)
+meeraj bhavsar I think its the other way round, Honda paid Motorbeam :P, seriously they are sucking up too much in this review!
Puli Kutty You definitely need to see the bike in person!
A small question why gixxer was not shifted to fifth gear while testing from 0 to 100 km testing..
+Satheesh Kumar because it does 100 km/hr in fourth.
Those small things make big differences
+Satheesh Kumar becoz this Video was Sponsored by Honda.
MotorBeam correct...you are just supporting Honda in this review Most peoplehere says Gixer is better among the two...again you are arguing...Don't mislead people
U have noticed it well
Thanks to support GIXXER, and given positive comments. Thanks again reviewers.
gixxer is best looking motorcycle in its segment
+Shayan Khan the SF sure is.
I thinks look wise gixxer is more sportier...but Honda has decent looks with little sportiness... which appeals young professionals rather than college students...
MotorBeam naked gixxer is also best looking in street fighter segment
@@Y2JYash hahah nice joke! Hornet looks better than gixxer! But not the best looking in street fighters ns 200 looks are the best in street fighters!
@@kbalaji4769 unfortunately you like blunt looks i like sharp looks sorry bro
Excellent review...very unbiased. Keep it up. :)
Booked Hornet already based on your test ride review.
+Susom Majumder congratulations, which colour?
+MotorBeam Siren Blue CBS
Thank you guys! Fantastic review. I'm gonna book Hornet this Friday. Which color you guys gonna suggest Orange or White?
Check out red and white. These r best acc to me :)
+Suyash Kaul You are either a Honda freak or a Honda Salesman.
+Ronkmon Nom or may b ur boss rides a gixxer n u wash it daily. Haha. No offense.
Or may b ur boss rides a hornet n u wash it daily. Haha. No offense
+Ronkmon Nom Bla Bla Bla..
people fight for their own bikes...and in the end people buy what they like... This review is awesome as it clearly states what are being offered....I loved it.. it helped me refining my decision about bike I want to buy.
Hornet is fresh as well as powerful, gixxer's surely gonna get tough competition. its proved that Honda makes comfortable bikes so hornet is probably going to hit A proud owner of Honda showroom
+Mr. unexpected how is the sales of the Hornet?
Going fantastic but competitive due to apache rtr2004v. but gixxer now feels dated
Im seeing more gixxers on road than hornets after recent upgrade. But im seeing more new FZ's than both gixxers and hornets combined with no upgrades at all! You cant judge reality by specs alone
True review! One thing, people failed to notice that Gixxer has a smaller tail section because of which it feels a lot slower when a pillion is on board. Hornet has a sturdier rear section it takes more weight without settling down.
That also depends on the suspension.
Honda paid review !
+Rahul Sutar if Suzuki would have won, it would have been a Suzuki paid review?
+MotorBeam suzuki no need to pay, it already got awards from all magzines...may be u dont know....n hondas are the unsporty people eg motogp !
+Rahul Sutar MotoGP has no relation to Honda's Indian products.
lol ! motogp has definitely no relation,but HONDA has a relation to Honda's Indian products!
by motogp i meant team HONDA at motogp
Valentino Rossi left HONDA for same reason n now 2015 motogp championship was spoiled by HONDA!
+MotorBeam y r u replying ☺ people will criticize
That was awesome comparison.. Competition is more now
+CalmRiderBengaluru thank you!
honda copies gixxer and the reviewer looked biased towards honda. thats how honda rules
+akash gupta because you don't like Honda? Check out our Unicorn vs Gixxer review and see who won, similarly see the SF vs Fazer vs AS 150 review and see who won.
Lol, I've honda city as car and an big fan of all Japanese companies. I just said what i felt
It is just a motorbeam opinion to make the hornet a winner. But we know that a greater mass of people agree to disagree on this opinion.
+akash gupta what about the fact that gixxer copied FZ?
Harshal Dongre suzuki may have but not as shamelessly as honda did.
i was planing 2 buy hornet , thanks u cleared my doubts.....:)
Most welcome.
Hi,
I delivered my Hornet which is in black and gone for an ride about 80 KM , Great performance and the bike is relay good for long ride
+gishnu gopinathan that's nice, do run it in.
+MotorBeam
yup.today i have completed ride for 200 km and as i told long ride this is best and handiling is perfect .and for the night riding the head lamp is gives an great lighting power.One one of main attraction is the X shaped back light
+gishnu gopinathan, 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Is Honda hornet gud for long ride
How to solve chain sound of hornet...?
hi faisal nice review . awesome judgement. I like it bro.
Bro, hornet special edition 160r s rocking. it looks mind blowing, dash to all other bikes, thanks to Honda . Hornet is my tiger.
You own one?
Most awaited comparison its here! Excellent job! 😍👌
+Pranjal roy thank you!
I have listen that Hornet Rear Tyres are big but their they get slip in offroad..Is this true??
not happened with me yet
Hemanta Acharya no ... hornet has excellent road grip
Nice video bro.. .....
Thanks for information...... ☺
Well i can't possibly fathom why most of the Educated Folks is retorting that It's a paid Review by MOTORBEAM & #mb is biased towards Honda! Like seriously, have u guys seen the Earlier videos rendered by MB, say for eg the review of Fzs fi vs Suzuki Gixxer vs Honda cb unicorn 160..MOTORBEAM had clearly stated on that review & even declared Gixxer as the winner Hands down! So why don't you said that time MOTORBEAM was biased?
Actually if you folks think you are leagues ahead of MOTORBEAM candid Blog, then go ahead & create your own blog!!
I am following MB since 2008 & nowhere did i ever observed that they were kinda biased!
I have had my brief Romance with Fzs fi & Gixxer, & I can easily conclude the Fzs fi is the better bike of the two! Acceleration is not the only parameter to reckon when you Purchase a Bike! Sure its costly but Add fuel injection to Gixxer & get ready for Facepalm!
I have recently taken comprehensive test ride of Cb hornet 160R & my mind changed in a jiffy, earlier I was a fan of Gixxer too!!
Thank you! Don't fight with the one who enlighten us even without charging your bucks.......😊
+Indranil Deb thank you for the kind words and support. High 5!
Absolutely, no two ways about it!!
Just keep up the good work. I have discovered My liking for Bikes after getting enlightened by MOTORBEAM.
+Indranil Deb that's a big compliment, thank you!
Good night MOTORBEAM! 😉
Completely agreed. Gixxer is a great bike but the Honda one ups it in more parameters.
Pulsar 150 abs or hornet abs which should i go for i want comfortness, better grip on road,durability for long time please tell me
Gixxer looks' far better than Hornet.. The best 150 Nacked.... Hornet looks' odd
+sporterz gaurav the design grows on you very fast.
Gaurav Maiden fir se chutie looks are subjective tujhe kuch pasand hoga or kisi or ko kuch or
yes Just was waiting for this..!!!!
+gaurav purao hope it helped.
+MotorBeam of course...!!!
me and my brother using gixxer and hornet. if we compare both.better go for Suzuki gixxer..
+Rakesh Reddy why do you like the Gixxer better?
+Rakesh Reddy why do you like the Gixxer better?
haha slap on the face of this paid morons
Rakesh Reddy ni
I have gixxer and from my opinion there is room for improvement for Suzuki like gear shifting is annoying af...back seat is little bit smaller and uncomfortable for women's...ground clearance could be better for Indian roads and last is Suzuki needs to work on paintjob..very limited colours to choose and not a single Matt colour is available..overall bike is fun to ride and looks good and one more thing handling of gixxer is much better than hornet due to its good power to Weight ratio and it's very nimble bike
Excellent review
Why the hell are the drivers jerking the bikes so much :O
+Dhruv Saxena at what minute?
Hello, the slow motion effect on that wheelie shot looks great but sudden jerking with the bike looks so gross man... otherwise your videos are very detailed with good presentation.
Dhruv Saxena is this the Gixxer 2017 version
Thanks for review. I was really expecting good results from hornet. Specially due to the 'uncomfortable pillion seat' and 'low clearance issues', Gixxer made me wait for another bike.
+shalmon waidande so do you like the Hornet.
Yes as per reviews Hornet seems very good. Style, fuel Efficiency, power, breaking and comfort are well balanced (though I am bit worried about slight higher weight mentioned)
Once Hornet reaches my city showroom the test drive will clear the remaining answers. Hoping for best :)
It's Look like Paid Reviews From Honda..!
why bro??
hornet is the best that he said 😏😄
Which year model is this of Gixxer ?
Does it comes with fuel injection or carborator
yups... gixxer is better and it can we see here also in this video....
+Vikram Suryawanshi better in some ways, not so good in others.
MotorBeam no best on everyway
MotorBeam very bad
first logical review to the facts in many months, I m sick of this gixxer being the winner as it lacks the most important thing pillion space, I don't like traveling alone
+Julius Nadar also the low ground clearance is another issue.
+Julius Nadar I agree, with the pillion it is a pain. But me on the other hand prefer to ride alone, so I am satisfied with the gixxer. But I hate the hard gear shift, the not so good paint job and the bad service of the Suzuki.
engine kill switch and gear change indicator are missing in hornet but its ground clearence is much much better than gixxer and whenever u ll ride through a bump u can hear sound in gixxer as its ground clearence is low and i dont think its good being an indian u needs to deal with indian streets.
+Bhanu Nayak the Hornet is no doubt more practical.
Bro it's showing 160mm for Gixxer,fz-s and 164mm for hornet in spec sheet.does 4mm makes a big difference?
I m going to cry ...I took so long for Suzuki to beat fz....now I have gixxer it really hurts...nice review thanks
+gaurab biswas you don't have to cry, the Gixxer is still an excellent bike ;-)
+gaurab biswas Why are you sad?? You got the best bike..Just because Hornet won this doesn't mean your bike became useless.. And Hornet is more expensive as well..
+Mik. Ban well said.
+gaurab biswas Seriously? Don't cry. Gixxer is not a bad bike. Think about my situation, I had the budget to buy a CBR 150R but chose the Gixxer and I am satisfied with it, i feel it to be more practical for our cities. (My opinion)
***** exactly
Finally I test ride both the bikes. My confusion over stiff suspension of hornet wiped out. I test ride hornet over bad u der construction road n found suspension very comfortable n on softer side. I after I test ride gixxer. Both bikes r on same level in terms of engine performance and comfort, exhaust sound of gixxer is on better side . But based on better after sale service and a good pillion seat for long drive I choose hornet 160r as my next upgrade.
+Firoz Shaikh Thanks Firoz your comment it cleared my confusion too :D I'm also going for Hornet 160 because of good pillion seat and I didn't found its exhaust note bad either its not as good as gixxer but its good.
+Firoz Shaikh which colour are you buying?
+MotorBeam, neo orange metallic, the reason is that this colour shows various shades.
Hi Fantastic review i want to know from both bikes which bike has pillion seat height is higher ?
+Nikhil Shinde Hornet.
+MotorBeam
THANX
lol POWER DRIFT is the best ... unbiased and perfect ,,, moto beam says HORNET handles better LMAO
+youtube lover ride it to believe it, the tyres are better, softer compound.
+MotorBeam The handling of a motorcycle is judged based on how well the motorcycle is able to tackle corners, how easy it is to maneuver, how planted to the tarmac and how stable it is and also how much feedback it offer the rider. In this respect, the Gixxer wins over the Hornet 160R. If Honda would have put MRF Revvs tyres like on the Gixxer instead of MRF Zappers, it would have greatly improved the feedback and handling of the Hornet. In my opinion, if you change the tyres on the Hornet to a better one, the Hornet and the Gixxer are equal...and the frame what we call chassis is better in GIXXER.. ...
+youtube lover the Hornet takes time to get used to but once you do, you will find the handling to be as good as the Gixxer, the better tyres make it better.
It's a really great move for every kind of rider's,as well as the manufacturer's also, implementing their new thoughts to put it ...
I'm very happy to hear d's kind of great news, buddy. .
I have two concerns
1. Y peoples r criticising hornet 160r so much. No body is believing Honda, why?
2. Honda again promises to launched more two wheelers in 2016, and I have already booked hornet 160r. I am tensed if Honda launches a competitive bike in 150cc range. I please respond.
+Firoz Shaikh they won't replace the Hornet, it's here to stay.
+MotorBeam, Honda has promised to launch again 11 to 12 vehicles this year also. In the coming autoexpo 2016, will Honda launch new bike in addition to new scooter as advertised by them as Navi.
+Firoz Shaikh can't say but mostly they aren't launching anything in the 150cc space.
+MotorBeam, I read about Honda is going to launch some India patented 150 cc bike. What I think Honda has got awakened and they r now really thinking for the Indian customers.
+XypherGhost, gixxer n hornet has neck to neck competition. But that is true hornet looks more matured. One most important hornet is a step ahead of 150-160 cc segment, by provide a big body that means it is like cross over more than a naked bike. From distance if see it looks more than 250 cc bike. I already bought hornet this month.
Thankx motobeam for doing a "Comparison Review" between the two bikes...:)
In my opinion hornet is better than gixxer...
+Antriksh Shrivastava most welcome.
Why do you like the Hornet more?
+MotorBeam Hornet has combined advantage of fz v2.0, gixxer and unicon
Style and power of gixxer
Refinement of fz v2.0
And my favorite honda's CBS.
Is the cb hornet 160r cbs very heavy than the gixxer? Can we feel the 7kgs difference? Please help me, I am confused between the hornet and gixxer because people tell that hornet is a very heavy machine. Somebody please tell me whether we can feel the 7kgs difference? Or it really so heavy? Please tell me. If we ride both the bikes does the hornet feel heavy?
Arun Arvind Gajendran not so much... of course hornet might be heavier but you don't feel that when you are on ride. go for gixxer
eagerly waiting for the epic drag race!
+Shivam Goel oh yes, we shall.
gixxers pillion seat is horrible...... atleast mothers not gonna sit in this bike.
+Bhanu Nayak the Hornet is slightly better.
True---- and for mothers... hero passion pro, splender, shine, unicorn ext flat seat bikes are good.
True. There is no pillion seat at all in Gixxer. My brother wants to buy Gixxer, I am trying hard to convince him not to. But then hornet doesn't have kill switch. WTF!! I guess I we should settle for Pulsar 150!!
jack Sparrow no bhai.. don't buy Bajaj products..main bhugat raha hu
awesome video... what about gixxer sf and hornet?
+SRINIDHI VASISHTA SF is better for its styling only.
kitna deti hai hornet?
42 km/l.
+MotorBeam and mileage of unicorn 150 ,the old one wich was relaunched?
MotorBeam overall performance which is better
Did you consider the price difference while selecting the winner?
+Akhil Varghese of course we did. The higher price of the Honda is due to the rear disc and CBS.
East or west hornet is always best🙂...
Haters go to hell🙂
well done motorbeam...keep up the good work...but I have a doubt regarding the hornet...as per online articles BS IV fuel isnt currently available in small towns and cities and wont be available until 2017....so what will happen if we use BS III fuel in the Hornet 160R?? what are the risks of doing so?? wish u throw some light on this matter...thanks in advance...
+Tanmoy Dutta there won't be any issue.
good review dude...
+Man Ease Adhikari thanks!
a really good comparision motorbeam .
always go for honda bikes because they have better engine technologies and provide great performance even after decent usage for some years.
Suzuki is also very good.
Final. I am buying it tomorrow.
Gixxer is the best of the best bike..No any bikes can compare to gixxer .
Gixxer hve better cornering... Bakki sub hornet best
@@reflexop6201 Hornet bike is very very bad ....
Lwde 6 year se use kar rha hu@@Iairuahsang
I've done 2K Kms with hornet (CBS). It's fun to ride in city as well as on highways. I can cruise 80-90 KMH with ease with out any vibration. If I ride it 50-55 KMH in city, it returns 50kmpl.
That's good mileage.
sir
i m confused in cbs version or standard
which should i buy??
help me?
Go for CBS, I don't even touch front break lever until I have to stop in emergency.
1:48 what is shift light ? i have gixxer to but didnt noticed it
+PradhumnShandilyaVEVO™ it tells you when to up shift.
ohh that white light which glows on more than 7000 rpm ?

Thank u guys that's a surprise winner never expected and Suzuki soon launchin updated gixxer?
+doctor ashok a rear disc on the Gixxer would help things, the Honda is way better in brakes.
You nailed it guys. excellent make this time. you guys are doing just great, keep up. finally we have got two good choices for youths.
very nice watching it

+vivek Chauhan that's nice, which colour?
+MotorBeam black in colour
great review!! one question which one is faster in a straight line or 0-100 ,,apachr rtr160 or gixxer or cb hornet?
+Abhishek Jadhav thanks! CB Hornet.
I think Hornet 160R is a better bike than Gixxer 150. Now many will argue that gixxer is better. Frankly speaking its related to requirements so if anyone is needed to select which bike is better don't be biased, get a test ride then decide. Each bike has some pros and cons.
For me Hornet is better the reasons are:
1. Good city milage around 53kmpl+ I am getting and on highway around 60kmpl+ which I find great as daily I travel around 50kms (with traffic).
2. Good seat for the rider as well as for the pillion. For weekend tours where we travel for 100kmph constantly with minor fluctuations to 80kmph sometimes we get around 48kmpl+ milage, and most important is that the seat is so comfy that neither the rider or pillion needs to stop for 1 and half hours. Infact the seating position is simply awesome.
3. Brakes are awesome.
4. All 150cc category bikes fall in the category of sports commuter so no matter whatever we try at the end of day they are all fast city commuters they are not racing machines. So guys who ever is saying gixxer is faster and can beat hornet or pulsar so let me assure one thing when it comes to streets it all depends on the rider mostly. I have bitten gixxer many times with my hornet. But if someone really wants a racing bike please go for KTM duke/RC 200 or 390 they have more of BHP for torque as well as Power.
These two bikes are very closely matched and thus it's difficult to decide which one to buy.
Thanks, Motor Beam for a detailed comparison. Can you suggest me which one is best among Gixxer SF and Hornet? I'm aware SF as the name says its a Faired version. Im looking for better """build quality, suspension, smooth engine and handling"". As in your review i came to know pillion seating is not so good in gixxer. Is it really a discomfort in case of gixxer? Please suggest me based on the above factor as I'm bit confused in choosing between Gixxer SF and Hornet.
+karthik rajan a test ride of both bikes will remove your confusion for sure.
+MotorBeam , I agree with you but from your opinion which has better suspension, build quality and pillion seating.
+karthik rajan missed to add smooth engine.
Sir which one to buy honda hornet or suzuki gixxer
Which one has low maintainence??
Pls help me out...
Depends on your requirements.
motorbeam...which bike is best in all feautures fz v2 or hornet......going to buy.plz suggest me...waiting.
Hornet.
Excellent review. covered all important aspects.
+Dhaval D thank you!
Hi, Awesome review. Had a most persisting question, is Hornet comfortable in potholes and bad roads or very stiff. How does Gixxer fare in this department and its relative comparison with hornet
+Rohan Tiwari Gixxer rides better than the Hornet.
please motobeam suggest me which bike is best quality and long engine life gixxer or hournet ?
Gixxer.
This review is spot-on. After spending days reading reviews, I visited both showrooms and test rode both machines. My verdict:
Hornet is much more smooth, comfortable and better looking than the Gixxer. Both bikes are very closely matched in almost everything else, but what made me book the Hornet is the gorgeous but simple looks and the ride height. Personally, I felt the Gixxer design too try-hard..
Which colour did you opt for?
+MotorBeam I booked the black one, it looked most appealing to me.
Which bike is low maintance?
And strongest and performence after two year?
Its hornet
seating position for both bike is that feel good or bad to the pillion seater
which bike is better I am fully confused please suggest me the best among the both
+rishi kumar depends on your requirements.
In 1 of your video you said hornet possesed by low handling on corners... So what should we buy
hello. Motorbeam, What is the perfect bike you think? between 160cc.
Gixxer.
MotorBeam thanks 😊
Gixxar sf fi and Honda Hornet which best please help me ?.
thank you +motor beam for ur reply and review was good...:)
+Senthil Kumar thanks for the kind words.
just want to ask,in high speed stability,there is exactly how much difference between hornet and gixxer,i mean is the difference is minimal or very huge
The difference is minimal.
Sir but which stands at the top including all features...??
Both are equally good, question is which suits you.
what is suitable for 6 ft guy gixxer sf or hornet 160r pls suggest
I owned the hornet 3 months back, not happy with the performance. It feels like the bike is jam and rough.
+Firoz Shaikh was it serviced?
+MotorBeam, 1st service done at 900km. Till date I have completed 3000km. Second service is at 6000km.
Hi,
I am currently driving a 2009 CBZ Xtreme...It has done 60,000 km and is doing pretty good...
Right now, I am confused whether I should buy a new bike or should I wait for some more time...
Please answer my below questions...
1.What is the life span of a motorcycle?Is this the right time to buy a new bike?My bike has been maintained properly, both tyres have been changed in 2015 and it is running without any major problems.Should I buy a new bike or can I wait for some more time?
2.If I want to buy a new bike, which one should I buy?I like Honda Hornet, Suzuki Gixxer and Bajaj Avenger Street 220.I like the Avenger because of unmatched comfort and looks, but I was told that it is good only in a straight line and is prone to skidding.
There is no right time, buy a bike if you want/need one.
The Gixxer is far superior to the Avenger.
So is Hornet still a better choice after 1 year? I mean does the bike has any problem? I like Gixxer but I mostly lean towards Honda because of the reliability of the company.
Hi, Please suggest on the color you think would not loose it charm over 2 3 years in CB Hornet, I am intereseted in buying this one
+Umair Syed we like the white a lot.
