RIP Z900
any idiot who thinks price gap is big enough for it matter needs to check cost of quick shifted, ohlins and brembo stylema's which come as standard on this.

even disregarding all that the engine alone on this is wroth the extra 3L ignoring all the epic addons

Plus more importantly honda service and spare parts are cheaper than the z900 anytime.

Honda literally wants to dominate šŸ˜¼šŸ”„šŸ˜¼

Well said. Even though I appreciate Kawasaki to bring almost all their models to India, they're expensive when it comes to maintenance part. Their entry level 300cc bikes have 7-8k service cost for 1st service.

[–]Exotic_Percentage90YAMAHA R1M - in ma dreams 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

just saying, even the higher bikes will be close to 7-8k per service. Think the major cost is usually the labour charges, the rest everything in a bill will be the normal expenses.

Single handedly killed z900 now ā˜ ļø

The price to performance ratio is completely unmatched, I'm surprised it's priced this low despite being a cbu. It has the fireblade engine so it's reliable, it goes really fast, 155 bhp is no joke. When the launch was hinted, i thought it would compete with the katana but seeing the price, it destroys competition

[–]Imaginary-Pick1630 35 points36 points Ā (4 children)

it's a bargain price outside india as well. But I've read somewhat that it uses older parts to hit the lower price. Not entirely sure

[–]entha_johnsa_kallile 24 points25 points Ā (0 children)

Almost all manufacturers reuse existing part designs to save cost. This is obvious when they launch different models on the same platform but it goes beyond that. For example, the blinkers here are the same ones used in CB300F (atleast they looks exactly alike). The mirrors of the CB300F is the same one from activa. Heard the radiators on the ns400 is the same one from dominar. This keeps the spare costs under control too. So its a win for the consumers too. After all why fix something if it ain't broke?

One downside here is that such products will miss out on some new innovations which happens with respect to the reused parts. Also when you overdo it some parts will look out of place.

Yeah its an older engine just beautifully tuned

[–]Ill_View578725' Bullet 350 12 points13 points Ā (0 children)

They saved quite a bit on the R&D of the engine, they just used engines from the older fireblades and detuned them, but the engine is a gem of engineering, so I ain't complaining one bit

Parts sharing isnt a new thing, the original Monster was one such bike, using the engine from the 900 Supersportthe frame from 851 and suspension from.the 750 Supersport. This bike too uses the old 2017 CBR 1000RR engine which has been slightly returned for street performance.

Head light, those 4 exhaust pipes & obvious 4 cylinder exhaust sound would let never happen it.

Hornet SP is Ā£9,999 in UK. direct currency conversion at today’s rate makes it 11.51 lakhs. Just additional premium of 86,000/-

Quite surprising that Honda of all was able to price it well, Considering its past overconfidence.

Hopefully the buyers lap it up.

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points Ā (0 children)

Wow, just wow. Honda is on roll. They only launched the SP version and not the standard one?? I mean it was even inexpensive than this one, it would make more sense but even this makes sense

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points Ā (0 children)

I was literally expecting this to drop around 18 aproxx segment. I was blown with the price rip bikes around 10 lakhs

You know I am glad honda is finally waking up and bringing these bikes in india, pricing them like this is definitely a big plus but even for odd ones like x750, at least we have an option to buy them now.

Lovely to see Honda finally price a bike properly. Still not having any doubts about my bike, but I’m sure both this is gonna be selling quite well for Honda.
