Bunny Punia of xBhp has uploaded some videos on his blog (http://bunnypunia.blogspot.com)

Here are the videos:

More pictures, engine information

The new HUNK is powered by a 149.2cc (yes same as CBZ-X) engine which is good for 14.4 ps/ 14.2bhp (again same the CBZ-X). Basically everything remains same as the CBZ-X, apart from the looks! The weight seems to have gone up by 3kgs though.
And that sticker, the GRS one, means Gas Reservoir Suspension


The speedometer console is a let down! No digital stuff here. Just a tachometer, speedometer and fuel gauge. But it still somewhat has a sporty feel.


Thanks to http://www.rearset.blogspot.com for pictures. Fantastic!

Hero Honda Hunk colour options!

Jayan from www.rockingroadies.com has done a fantastic job with photoshop. The green looks sexy, right?

So, here it is, the bike, much hyped HUNK.
- As I wrote in the previous post, the tank looks big for a 150cc bike
- Rear side panels somehow remind me of the Apache
- That plastic cowl does look muscular!
- Tyres remain same as that of the CBZ-X
- Gas filled rear shock absorbers
- Sorta stepped seat

The bike is out!! HUNK has been launched

EDIT:

The bike has been launched at 11am today in Delhi

Pricing:
55000 ex-showroom in Delhi for Kick-Start
57000 ex-showroom in Delhi for Electric Start version
The bike has a small fairing and big plastic scoops next to the tank (between the tank and the fairing). Bike does look good.

So, here it is , the all new 150cc HeroHonda Hunk. The bike uses the same CBZ-Xtreme engine. More details coming up soon with pictures

The company may be stopping the production of the CBZ-Xtreme. What makes me say this? Go to www.herohonda.com/products.htm and click on the CBZ-Xtreme and then click on it to go to its micro-site at http://www.herohonda.com/cbzxtreme/index.html/. The link is not working!! Hero Honda might just replace the CBZ-Xtreme with the Hunk now.

Stay tuned guys

The Hero Honda... HUNK?

Rumours, baseless rumours.
Some said it was a big v-twin engine Schumi from BSMotoring's Blog , some said it was a cruiser with a CBR headlamp - Dancewithshadows site, some said its the Honda CBR125R lookalike -xBhp's topic , Vicky even went to say its a 125cc bike!!!! But the reality, it is yet another 150cc motorcycle from Hero Honda, and this one is a stunner!

As of now, we have got the following information:
- It uses the same engine block as the CBZ-Xtreme.
- The engine is in a different state of tune
- The engine doesnt make more power than the CBZ-Xtreme. It is the same at 14.4PS (14.2bhp)
- There is usage of tumble induction, which means it will have a better low end punch
- The tail lamp looks ... sexy!
- Yellow speedometer : looks sporty (taken from the Karizma may be..)
- Split seats
- Overall, the bike looks better than the CBZ-Xtreme
- Killer pricing, still little expensive than other bikes in the class, but at this price, the bike is still a VFM package! We have been told it will be priced around 64,000
