New Hero Honda Hunk- Review, Pictures & Specification | Indian 150cc motorbike
Hero Honda Hunk : The new bike from Hero Honda
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...onda_hunk1.jpg
Hero Honda recently launched their not much awaited bike Hero Honda Hunk.
Already talks about it and specially its name, Hero Honda could have used some better name. Well, Hunk is still, if you look into dictionary then it is a very manly word.
This machine has almost similar power and torque to CBZ xtreme, ie. 14.2bhp at 8500 rpm and 12.8 nm at 6500 rpm. Then engine displacement is 149.2 cc . And the engine is set to have tumble flow ( I can't comment over it as do not have enough information about it).

Lets talk about other things of the HUNK, ie. its look and fairing and its styling.
First thing you will note that it has gas charged, adjustable rear shok absorber, it is I think first in Hero Honda Bike. One thing I loved about CBZ from beginning was its saddle position, it just made you sit so sporty that you feel like GOD on road. .. here in Hero Honda Hunk, saddle position is nice so it feels so sporty while sitting on Bike.
Front Disc brake is fine, I wished if they could have increased its size as TVS did in Apache RTR 160, it looks so nice and somohow makes feel bike more powerful (physcologically).
Looking over design, the bike has over all a big look as we had with CBZ xtreme. This time grab rail is single piece ie not like CBZ xtreme which as splitted one looked really cool. One thing I noticed here that they wanted to bike to look shorter and sporty and hence you can see on back that they have kept seat little shorter though ideally should stretch a bit more, anyhow it is looking unique.
What I think that there was something missing in CBZ xtreme and Hero Honda thinks that to compete with Apache RTR and new pulsar, they should work around and hence we have "Hunk".

It has body coloured leg gaurd, I have seen first in Hero Honda bikes and rather in any bike yet. another nice thing about design is its fairing covering the tank, it really makes it feel big, sit over and it is really big. Headlamp is good but again could have better in design. I don't know why Hero Honda people can't create a appealing front look but its satisfactory this time.
As most part of bike is gray so other color create different look than whole gray bike. As you look in above pic, the bike is in red colour but touch of Gray , black makes it appealing.

Looking at the meter console, we have no digital instruments there, looks like Hero Honda wants to make it traditional style manly stuff, only raw power. After all, you can't feel the adrenaline in those digital meter as you feel when the niddle spindle over the meter .. wraoommmm...

Fuel consumption is said to same as CBZ but with little improvement. And bike comes in two version, a kick start costing Rs. 55000 ex showroom Delhi and Rs. 57000 for Electric start ex-showroom Delhi.
Price is all standard.
Anyways, Going to most little more about the bike after riding it for a while.

Re: New Hero Honda Hunk- Review, Pictures & Specification | Indian 150cc motorbike
its looks good but the engine is similar like cbz extreme. so i guess its not the newest thing. out look is good but not best.
Re: New Hero Honda Hunk- Review, Pictures & Specification | Indian 150cc motorbike
Yes, you are right, I think Hero Honda understood that it is not in competition with rivals in the area of looks so they launched HUNK.
Rival like Apache RTR and New Pulsar so .. they launched new revised look as HUNK..
Re: New Hero Honda Hunk- Review, Pictures & Specification | Indian 150cc motorbike
its an awesome bike .. i already have a pulsar 180 .. but i am completely bowled over
by its looks .. i had a test of this bike its pick up was good .. over all really a very good
machine .. maybe going to rule the market ..
Re: New Hero Honda Hunk- Review, Pictures & Specification | Indian 150cc motorbike
Well, Pulsar 180 is definitely ahead of Hunk in terms of acceleration. May be you drove new bike ie. Hunk so you found it better than pulsar.
Ever apache RTR 160 got better acceleration than HUNK
