Honda Hornet 2.0

The Honda Hornet 2.0 is aimed at riders in Nepal who want a genuinely fun, naked street bike with strong fuel efficiency, rather than a heavier cruiser or a full sport bike.

• Engine: 184cc air-cooled, fuel-injected, BS6.2/OBD2-compliant
• Power: 17.27 PS @ 8,500 rpm, 15.9 Nm torque @ 6,000 rpm
• Efficiency: claimed 57.35 kmpl mileage, 142 kg kerb weight

The standout figure here is the 57.35 kmpl claimed mileage - for a naked street bike with genuinely sporty styling and performance character, that is an unusually good fuel efficiency number, meaning you get engaging, fun riding without paying for it constantly at the pump. At 142kg kerb weight, it is also light enough to feel agile and easy to manage in tight Kathmandu traffic, while still feeling substantial and planted at speed.

The fuel-injected, BS6.2/OBD2-compliant engine reflects Honda's latest emissions and efficiency standards, meaning this is a genuinely current, up-to-date platform rather than an older design carried forward with minimal changes.

Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres are standard, giving both a sportier look and the practical safety benefit of gradual air loss rather than sudden deflation if you do pick up a puncture on Nepal's roads.

This is the naked bike for a rider who wants genuine street-bike fun and styling without sacrificing the fuel economy a daily commuter actually needs.
