Hero Honda Hunk 150cc news confirmed

robin_1981 · 14th October 2007, 12:02

Had read a lot about this in various forums and communities but was really hard to believe and was thought of as another rumor. But it has been confirmed that Hero Honda is actually going to launch the 150cc Hero Honda Hunk. The bike would have a great design and a black engine. The engine would be torquier and have twin headlamps like CBR125, twin discs, split seats and an analog yellow speedo.

The third 150 since the Achiever and the CBZ. Why?

What sense does it make? Wouldnt it be better to try and better the Pulsar 180/200?

Going by the description, the bike should be very close to this:

Not bad .. huh?

safari_lover · 15th October 2007, 16:07

If that is how the bike would look then, Pulsar and company will have some serious competition. Hope it looks like that

revved_up · 15th October 2007, 16:14

Update: The bike is reported to be sporting a "naked" look, so we can expect the faring to be missing and replaced by twin headlamps.

@superavi i was thinking on same lines, as such cbz x is great bike, they should pimp it up rather than lauching a new 150cc bike..

Exactly. With the kind of profits HH is making, they should be introducing newer bikes in higher segments. They should have introduced a 250cc twin and a 100cc bike with a brand new engine in place of the Splendor. Right now Bajaj is really going great guns in the higher segments.

[ They should have introduced a 250cc twin and a 100cc bike with a brand new engine in place of the Splendor.

i dont think they will do the following untill and unless spelndor and karizma sales scale go down

i second your words HH have made huge profits with splendor, HH is playing wait & watch game OR from one end they seem to be lokin like silent killers and never let any body know whats boiling under there hood

Think it would have been better if the fairing was there, just to make it look more sporty, and turning more eye*****, hence more popular with the youth. Anyways lets wait and watch. Reported date is 17th so just 2 days to go.
