                  powerful or premium, honda CB1000 hornet sp mast
                  I bought this bike because I wanted a powerful and stylish bike that would ride smoothly on the highway. its look and design feel very premium, and honda trust is also there. the suspension feels a bit stiff in the city but overall handling is perfect the ride experience has been quite pleasant so far. the engine is smooth, and the pickup is robust. it easily maintains speeds of 140+ on the highway without any vibration . comfort is also good, and long rides do not cause back pain. mileage is a bit low , but its decent considering the performance. i would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants both power and performance. A bit expensive and average mileage, but worth it for the ride feel and looks. if you prefer highway riding or weekends rides, this bike is absolutely perfect.
