Great review. Great bike. But Honda made a big mistake by not providing dual channel abs as an option ! Do you think in 2024 they'll bring it ? I so much wanted to buy this but ....no rear abs 😢😢😢.
I testdrove this 1 month back. Although front suspension says 'Showa', its damn stiff compared to Himalayan 450 Showa suspension thus transmitting all the vibes you feel from potholes into your body. Also the windblast is high, the rear break locks easily. The seat comfort is almost nill (less / no cushoning). What else to say, its only meant for city commuter rides and not for long touring.
If you are going for an VFM pack go with N160 everything is there for daily rides(only weight is little on the higher side),parts are easily accessible with low price. The engine is smooth, unlike other Pulsars quite an improvement. Best lights in the segments. Pickup is a little bit slow (not much good mid, mild performance in top end) because of its weight but you can reduce it by a little bit by removing its saree guard, mud flaps or double stand. Quite a good mileage around 45. Service centre are an issue. Second go for the xtreme160r 4v engine is smooth,low price for parts easily accessible, excellent pickup and strong mid performance, but struggles in high speeds despite being a 4v. Looks are subjective some likes and some don't.Rear seats are not comfortable at all. No dual abs, good mileage with 4v engine around 40+. Same with N160 here also have the same problems in servicing. Third Hornet 2.0. Everything is good in the hornet except it misses out some core features like dual abs and oil cooling not asking Honda to give liquid cooling (at least they can provide with oil cooling). Honda engines are damn reliable but you will feel the heat. Servicing top notch, the workers in Honda showroom are well trained and got quite a good knowledge, don't know about the cost for the parts.
I watch all ur videos from the day I want to buy a bike. Please make a review video of Honda CB300f OBD2 in an ungent basis as their is a few videos uploaded on RU-vid.
