www.motorbeam.com compares the recently launched Honda CB Hornet 160R against the Suzuki Gixxer in a head-to-head comparison test, factoring in technical aspects of both these sporty commuter motorcycles. The Gixxer has changed Suzuki's popularity in the motorcycle segment in India while Honda is trying real hard to beat its rivals in the sporty segment where young buyers need to be pleased.
The Honda CB Hornet 160R is offered in two variants and comes with better hardware than the Suzuki Gixxer in certain areas, although the CB Trigger replacement is slightly more expensive. Which of these two bikes makes for the better all-round purchase? MotorBeam editor Faisal Khan finds out.

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!

+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!
@VARUNKUMAR-sh7lb
@VARUNKUMAR-sh7lb 8 лет назад
+MotorBeam Can you please tell me how in gear acceleration is measured. is it measured at constant rpm less than max torque rpm ?
@pulikutty474
@pulikutty474 8 лет назад
+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.
@MikBan
@MikBan 8 лет назад
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..
@MotorBeam
@MotorBeam 8 лет назад
+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.
@MikBan
@MikBan 8 лет назад
MotorBeam understood.. What about front end feedback in the hornet ? Vague or as communicative as Gixxer's
@MsCooldude16
@MsCooldude16 8 лет назад
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.
@SuyashKaul
@SuyashKaul 8 лет назад
+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..
@MsCooldude16
@MsCooldude16 8 лет назад
Talking about the general Indian Height. Not about "your height". Your friends with lower height would be more comfortable with the gixxer.

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].We have both Gixxer and Hornet at our home.

@Vishalutubin
@Vishalutubin 6 лет назад
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!!

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.

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 !!

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.

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!

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 :)

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

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.

+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.. ...

I already bought hornet this month.

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.

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..

It's evident that Honda almost learnt it's mistakes from other 150cc bikes, Gixxer especially... Refining, which was literally removing the ugliness in Unicorn 160 and compensating the cons of Unicorn by providing Edgy looks and CBS + rear disc in Hornet. This seems to be mainly a complete to the Gixxer.. But I really think it cannot give the front end feel of the Gixxer. As of my experience with Gixxer SF, I feel Gixxer is comparatively better (only draw back is absence of rear disc) and Honda could've done better.

All Everyone has been singing praises of the Gixxer. However, service centres are few and good ones even fewer. I like the fact that the FZS V2 has EFI. I owned a FZ-16 some years ago and liked the quality of switchgear. And the braking and stability. It lacked power though. I am still drawn towards the FZ-S V1 since it looks better; FZ-S V2 looks overstyled. Other than speed, handling at high-speeds and looks, what does the Gixxer have in addition over the FZ V1?

Milage : Confusion -->But on priority 3.Looks : FZs Fi 4. City Performance ie Maneuvering in city traffic : FZ fi. 5. Easily flickable due to weight : FZ Fi 132kgs 6.onRoad PRice in mumbai Fzs fi : ______ vs Hornet w/o CBS : ________ 7.Maintainence cost : Confusion Initially thaught of hornet but I think It will look too bigger on my My height being 5"5 Weight 55kgs.Other options ignored 1)Bajaj Avenger street 150 : ok ok Engine .also honda or yamaha any day good in long term reliablity 2.Unicorn 160 : looks and too much commuter oriented.. Any corrections will be highly appreciated as u people are experts in the business. Can u help me out pick the best suited according to my needs

When these people had reviewed the Hornet, it was evident at that moment only that they would choose the Hornet over the Gixxer. I would not directly point the finger at that it is a paid review which exists everywhere but the reviewer already has a soft spot for Honda like Autocar India used to have for Honda Cars at some point of time. The reasons given are well superficial. Fatter Tyre, higher ground clearance and rear disc brakes. The reviewer has clearly missed out on highlighting poor build quality of the Honda near the tank and panels. True bikers can just hope that Gixxer doesn't go the Inazuma way because the 150cc market hasn't been expanding that much and more these new models keep launching, more they will kill each other. And well we have been famous for killing good products and going the mass market way.

+Mufaddal Jamali Exactly, the points in favour of the honda are childish and they manage to cover it up even poorly! It is hard to think it is not a paid review! Gixxer is a well studied and india-specific designed product with more than 2 years of development, Atleast the other reviewers are being honest in calling out the honda's shortcomings!

+Mufaddal Jamali there is no soft spot for anyone, let alone Honda. In fact, we keep telling people not to buy the Activa for its age old and outed suspension. As an overall package, the Hornet makes a better buy, at least at the moment. Many ask us about rear disc for Gixxer, what is taking Suzuki so long?

There is a plus side and a minus side to the rear disk. Rear disk will cause the rear tyre to lock frequently whereas drums are safer to use at high speeds simultaneoulsy with the front disk brakes. As of the displacement class and Indian roads, the front disk and rear drum is more than enough for the Suzuki gixxer and also keeping the price of the bike under the 1lakh range. So motorbeam, Stop making stupid excuses about "where are the rear disks". Just because Honda has the CBS you made it the winner. Paid and dishonest review.

Gixxer gives a more comfortable ride and with seat adjustment feature it really captures the market but only lacks on pillion, whereas hornet has sufficiency of it. I ride hornet today it was very much comforting but one requires a good height to ride it, and it is very much centered...All n all , at last , hornet is good for every purpose, office, casual rides.....

Looking for a comparison of All these bikes. Honda Hornet,New Hero Extreme ,Suzuki Gixer, Yamaha Fazer,TVs Apache 160,Bajaj Pulsar 150 AS,Giver an ready reckoner. Real world appeal which also should include best VFM.

+MB Rajesh out of the bikes you mentioned the AS would be the best for performance, SF for looks, Hornet overall.

This is a first time good model (stylish) naked 160 cc bike from Honda India.I think the designers behind this bike has some sense of style unlike the past crap models Honda India designed. Thanks to Yamaha India and Suzuki India with FZ series and Gixxer respectively for creating a good competition with style in the segment.(that made the Honda to think about style)
@MotorBeam
@MotorBeam 8 лет назад
Which one would you choose?
@bobanjoseph7725
@bobanjoseph7725 8 лет назад
I would not prefer both.I have no interest for less than 200 cc bikes now.I prefer Bikes with minimum 35 to 45 PS @ 9000 to 12000 RPM,ABS,Naked futuristic style, Mono-shock,Flat handlebars,Fuel Injection,Rear and Front Disk Brakes,Full Digital Meter,Liquid Cooled Engine,Upside down Telescopic Front Suspension,A stylish Exhaust pipe, muscular tank,Led Tail lamp and small clear lens white Indicators,Radial Tyres and new generation Head lamps. Duke 200 and 390 are good performance affordable models in India. At present my favourite bike is Yamaha FZ-07 I like Honda CB 500 F but I hate some features ( no LED tail lamp and it is with traditional yellow big Indicators)
@bobanjoseph7725
@bobanjoseph7725 8 лет назад
Design wise both bikes have good features. 1.I like the tail lamp Design of CB Hornet(Hornet's X design has the meaning of stop) than the outdated design of Gixxer.(95/100) 2.In Tank design I gave full marks to Gixxer. (100/100) 3.The handle bar I like is Hornet's (80/100) 4.The Exhaust deign is good in both bikes. (100/100) 5.Headlight needs to be redesigned in both bikes not good. (0/0) 6.The swing arm is better in Hornet (50/100) 7.Seat position and design is good in Hornet (80/100) 8.The spoke wheel design I like in both (90/100) 9.Digital Meter I like Gixxer Design than Hornet's (100/100) 10.Powerwise Hornet has Dominance (80/100) 11.Rear Disk and CBS gives more marks to Hornet 160 over Gixxer (90/100) 12.Overall the hornet is beefy and in some areas Gixxer seems Skinny (Like the front telescopic Suspension& frame) 13.Colourwise Both have more options like White,Orange,Blue,Red,Silver,Metallic Grey and Black. Among these fancy bikes definitely Honda CB 163 Hornet has superiority in performance over Suzuki Gixxer.

Yamaha may well strike back hard with the M-Slaz 150 to reclaim the crown in the 150cc segment. First launch was in Thailand. The M-Slaz 150, unlike the FZ 2.0, will not be bullied by the Gixxer nor the Hornet 160r. In fact, it may well cause a landslide in the Indian market. Even the design of this bike, visually and engine wise reveals that its aim is to dominate.

Excellent review. Glad you guys made one. But i am confused between few bikes . I am a college student and I am planning to buy a new bike . Please help to choose one . My considerations are : 1. Pulsar 150 AS 2. Gixxer 155 3. Apache 200 RTR And also no one had done a review between Pulsar 150 AS and Gixxer 155 . There's too lot of review between Gixxer SF and Pulsar AS not a good one with Pulsar VS Gixxer 155 . Please make one and waiting for review on Apache RTR 200 4V
