For daily city riding the engine is smooth and responsive. It’s particularly good for overtaking and quick acceleration compared with many conventional 125cc commuters bikes. A practical expectation 50/60 km/l. Brakes and safety. Higher variant get single ABS Channel. Bike have the full safety features that any bike may hardly have. Read More
This bike has a muscular look and very good headlight. Honda CB 125 Hornet is good-looking, has the best mileage, but the pillion seat comfort is low. Add dual disc and update the pillion seat, and this bike will become a segment killer. Bike quality and placement are best, but the cowl uses plastic; use a metal screw and update the tyre size. When this bike is complete, no bike can compete with this bike.Read More
