Detailed review of my Hornet 2.0 Pros and cons

Owner of this bike for the last 8 months. Here are a few Pros and cons(First 3 months)

Pros :
1.) Exceptionally good handling - you will just love to ride it in the city or on highways.
2.) Superb Comfort - For Riders its seat is very comfy but for pillion, I'll give it 8.5 out of 10
3.) Great for Cornering - If you live in a place where there is a lot of cornering, this bike will amaze you with the confidence it gives while cornering.
4.) Decent mileage - was 40-42kmpl of mileage before first servicing but they said it'll increase to 45+.
5.) Grabs attention - It's something new on Indian roads + its golden USD forks look amazingly sexy.
6.) Power - IT can beat any bike(under 200cc) in 0-70km/hr speed, even That Roaring Apache !! . Very strong mid-range. The cruising speed is 90-100 without any vibration.

Cons :
1.)NO ABS on rear disc - This was disappointing. The rear wheel does skids on heavy braking. Should have been there.
2.)Creepy sound from rear disc - Rear disc sounds like RAT while braking, however, it got fixed after first servicing.
3.) Stiff Suspension - It has adjustable rear suspension which is pre-fixed on the stiffer side. But on the positive, it gives confidence while cornering.
4.) Headlights - Could have been better, especially in low beam.

Many people have posted issues with this bike like oil leakage or others. I didn't face any such issue except that of sound from the rear disc which got fixed after first servicing.

and Yes it'll lose the race against MT-15 or Apache but only in a top range which is after 90km/hr probably and u don't need that in City even if u like to race !! haha

P.S -- This bike is mature and seeks probably a mature rider who loves riding rather than speeding or doing a drag race. :)

After almost 8 months - done 2000+ km )

Additional pros:-
1.)Mileage increased to 45+kmpl on a regular basis.
2.) Even after 8 months, people do ask about this bike often impressed by its looks.

Additional Cons:-

1.) Need to install additional rubber mudguards in the front wheel. Makes the engine really dirty in rainy reason along with the body. Thankfully no stains on the legs, but the still engine looks really dirty after a ride.
