Engine Kill Switch and Hazard Indicator: In previous Honda models available in Bangladesh, the lack of an engine kill switch was a noticeable absence. However, the Hornet 2.0 comes equipped with this feature, which is timely and shows Honda's effort to welcoming the modern era. The hazard indicator is also useful for signaling in emergencies or foggy conditions.

Mileage: With a 12-liter fuel capacity, the bike can deliver a mileage of around 50 km per liter. Considering the higher engine capacity, this mileage is quite impressive, as many 150cc bikes offer less. However, the mileage can vary depending on fuel quality and riding style.
