Gixxer Vs. CB Hornet 160R Vs. FZ-S Vs. Apache 160

150cc motorcycles are still considered as a premium product in the Indian two-wheeler segment. Although much higher priced motorcycles are now flying off the showrooms, there is a lot of aspirational value for these 150cc motorcycles.

Here’s a quick comparo of the most fun 150cc class motorcycles available in the Indian market.

While we highly recommend the Suzuki Gixxer for the complete package that it has to offer, it is the Honda CB Hornet 160R which is the latest product available in the market. The Yamaha FZ-S & the TVS Apache 160 even though older compared to the other two, are still competent enough and sell in very good numbers.

So what would you buy? Have a look below before deciding.
