Hero Honda HUNK vs Rivals

The Hero Honda Hunk vs Bajaj Pulsar 150 vs Honda Unicorn vs TVS Apache RTR

The 150cc Hunk faces stiff competition from other 150cc bikes.
This is what BIKE India magazine has to say about the Hunk

It’s a Hero Honda and under the skin we know there’s a tuned version of the Unicorn engine. But with its brilliant looks, the Hunk scores above its other stable mate, the X-treme, though it isn’t quite as refined as the Unicorn. Excellent, aggressive styling and sharp features make it one of the most aesthetically appealing bikes in the country today. The pseudo air-scoops around the sculpted tank and the sharply styled bikini fairing give it a masculine look. On board, the huge tank makes it look and feel more substantial and bigger than some other bikes in the class, all of which works in favour of quenching the male ego. The Hunk also manages to be one nice handler around the bends. The knee fits in snugly into the well contoured recesses and that makes a lot of difference. The handlebar-seat-footpeg positioning is such that you don’t feel nervous when shifting that butt out and leaning off the seat, which again makes it an easy ride while hard-cornering. Even with the bike leaned over nicely and the rider leaning off it, the main-stand stays out of the proceedings. There’s no bottoming out of the rear suspension either thanks to the gas charged shock absorbers. The smooth power delivery of the bike aided with the strong mid-range torque further compliments the brilliant cornering abilities of the bike by bailing you out of wrong shifts on tightening corners. The engine cranks out 14.40 PS@8500 rpm and produces a peak torque of 12.80 Nm@6500rpm. Gearing is relatively short, which means good acceleration, meaty pulling power and great rideability in the city. The top end, however suffers because of that fact. The bike registers a top-speed of 107.16km/h, making the Hunk the slowest bike of the lot. The bike reaches 80-85km/h quite fast, but after that, the engine tends to loose steam. The gears show some resistance before slotting in and there is that unpleasant, notchy feel about the gearshift which is absent in the Honda. Also, the Hunk weighs 3kg more than the CBZ Extreme – at 146kg, the Hunk is a whole 10kg heavier than the RTR! With Honda Unicorn taking the position of the power commuter and the TVS Apache RTR taking perch as the top performer, the Hunk’s positioning seems to be a little less spot-on. The bike however, should appeal to fans of Hero Honda’s reliability and are looking for a bike that feels big. The Hunk is priced on par with the Pulsar and the Apache, though it still doesn’t feature goodies like a digital speedo, rear-sets, LED tail lamps etc. It may seem a little overpriced, but as we stated earlier, the Hero Honda logo on the tank more than makes up for the initial costs in the long term.

Hero Honda Hunk special edition

The Hero Honda has now been cosmetically upgraded and christened Special Edition. Apart from some snazzy graphics and new paint scheme there are no mechanical changes. The Hunk now sports a racing bull insignia across the tank accompanied by a Special Edition badge on it's tank extensions.

The Hero Honda Hunk Special Edition will also sport red alloy wheels, dual-tone seat with red colored rider's seat, along with a sports red finish for the front forks and rear shock absorbers. Even the spark plug cap and the cylinder head get to sport the overall red theme.

The Hunk Special Edition seems to have been adequately garnished in the looks department. The bike still retains it's single cylinder, air-cooled 149.2cc engine pushing out 14.4 PS and churning out 12.8 Nm of torque.
