The Honda Hornet 160R is a discontinued 162.71 cc air-cooled motorcycle with a 5-speed gearbox. BikeDekho (whose page titles it "CB Hornet 160R BS4", the same model's full original name) lists 15.09 PS @ 8500 rpm maximum power, 14.5 Nm @ 6500 rpm maximum torque, a single-channel ABS, disc brakes at both ends, a 12 litre fuel tank and a 141 kg kerb weight.
The Honda Hornet 160R is a street motorcycle from Honda. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Naked and roadster bikes pair a lively engine with an upright riding position and little or no fairing, which makes them easy to live with every day. With a 162.7 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.
Power comes from a 162.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 15.09 PS at 8,500 rpm and 14.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Its stroke is longer than its bore (57.30 mm x 63.09 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 107 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 110 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a diamond frame. Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and monoshock at the rear. Braking is by a 276 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with single-channel ABS. Single-channel ABS works on the front wheel, which does most of the stopping. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 100/80-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear.
The seat is 790 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 141 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 164 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,041 mm long, with 1,346 mm between the axles. Its 12 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 50-52 kmpl work out to roughly 624 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp and hazard lamp. Safety equipment includes automatic headlamp on.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹999
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 276 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 100/80-17 / 140/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as Lead Acid. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
