Hero Honda Hunk


Hero Honda Hunk : The new bike from Hero Honda

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. Hero Honda Hunk Headlamp / Headlight Picture

It was about 7'O clock in the evening, i was coming from my uncle's house on my Pulsar 150, zooming at the speed of 70km/hr. On my way to home I got a call from Ashwani (the guy with long hairs and smile), he told me that he is waiting for me at home and as soon as I reached home, we just started surfing the internet on computer, after exploring various videos on youtube for about 2 hours, suddenly Ashwani panicked that he had to drop , Ankur to Bus Stand and both of us ran to pick up Ankur.
Suddenly Ankur called up ashwani and told that he has already reached Bus Stand but he got Ashwani's Splendor punctured and he has left the bike on Road Side and left keys at Ashwani's home. By hearing this ashwani got so angry and then we went to bus stand and after seeing Ankur, we again headed towards the place where Ankur left the bike.

(The Victim 'Ashwani)

We reached the place, and we thanked god that bike was alright and nobody stole it and again we citicized ankur for puncturing the bike and above all this, we found no mechanic there at that time, so we planned to drag it and then i called up ankit and yatin to see if we can leave bike there for night and pick it up tomorow morning. Thanks to god ankit and yatin came to rescue us at 11'o clock in night. Finally we dragged the bike about 3 kms and left it at ankit's house.
Now me and ashwani we both we hungry as we didnt had the dinner as yet so we planned to head towards a very famous 'Dhaba' of our city, 'Ganesh Dhaba'. So, i zoomed my pulsar, we were cruising at the speed of 50 km/hr, it was such a exotic drive, yellow streetlights falling on road and clean roads added divine flavor to the ride. Thanks to our SONY W550i phone, we also enjoyed love music during the ride to Dhaba. We reached the dhaba at 12:15 in the night and then we had a lovely dinner, ashwani seemed a littile tensed ater dinner I guess he was preoccupied with the whole bike incident and some other stuff.

Again we started our ride back to home and as we reached home, we spent next three hours talking to each other looking at pictures of old school days, remembring our old school days. At quarter to 3 in morning, both of us felt carving for tea again we thought to head to the 'Railway Station' to have some tea and we were again on road with pulsar, we reached the railway station and had tea and we chatted alot about our life of school days, about love, relationships and girls perspective about love. As our teaa got finished again we head towards ashwani;s home and as we reached we home, we both were tired, so we just switched on AC and went to sleep.


That night I enjoyed alot, the whole night seemed like a roller coaster ride. But next morning it became a real bad roller coaster ride, as we took the bike to mechanic for fixing the puncture, and what we saw is that the tube got torned apart in two pieces and it all happened coz of a nail in the tyre and tis time, ashwani's temper just went up and broke the thermometer and immediately called up ankur and fired him with lots of shit stuff and non-veg 'galis', and told ankur that he wont give ankur his bike ever again.

This is how the night ended...............................
