While most other bikes use adjectives for their names, this is an exception in the sense that it uses an adjective that is specifically and strictly used with a male man. I guess the idea was to project the thought that if you ride this bike you were a hunk!
No offence to the owners, but I find the idea a bit revolting and immodest but i guess that's what the general populace wants!
On a lighter note, the owners of Hunk should pause and think about this: They are astride a sexually attractive man with a well developed physique, rocking with every pothole and speedbreaker. I hope they really ride safe, coz god forbid, if they happen to fall, then it may happen, that for a brief moment, the hunk will be riding them! he he

Boy! am I glad, bajaj dropped the definately male tagline!
I don't see any problem with manly names for bikes. Its right for the target audience, i.e. MEN. What if they start giving feminine names to their bikes? I can already picture:

Ravi: Oye Manish, wanna race my new Florina 250?
Manish: Nahi, yaar. My Monica is spending the night with my mecahnic because she's having periods. I mean... leaking oil .

I'd prefer a bike called Hunk over a womanly name like Lily, Florina or Elle. Anyday, anytime.

Male man? Is it even possible for someone to be a female man?
