Additional details

 

Honda hornet 250 is really a very good and beautiful super bike. The appearance of this bike is very beautiful due to the size of the rear tire. In particular, this hornet 250 is a super bike that is still in good demand in a country like Sri Lanka. And a popular bike among many people. A good condition Honda Hornet 250 in Sri Lanka is sold for about LKR 1,500,000. If taken in dollars, for an amount like $ 4127.  We can be satisfied with the maximum power that can be obtained from this 249cc engine. Also, the sweet sound to the ears increases the desire for this bike. It is a great bike that can be modified in one way or another. Anyway, when this bike was produced by Honda company, the demand for this bike was more than the bikes of other companies. No matter how old the bike is, the spare parts of this Honda Hornet 250 can still be bought at a new level.

We can introduce the Yamaha zeal 250 bike from the Yamaha company, the Kawasaki Balius 250 bike from the Kawasaki company, and the Bandit 250V bike from the Suzuki company as the bikes that competed with this Honda Hornet 250.
