boy O boy...i was completely stunned when i test drived stunner.
No assumptions. I had a thought of buying this bike to my younger brother who is in college and always asking for a bike for his daily drives for friendly get togethers, tuitions,colleges etc etc. I was keen on buying this especially the yellow color one just because i also own a Yellow Karizma...It was like a nostalgic feeling when i saw the brochure.Similar to the zma brochure about 4 years back. I got to the showroom saw the 3 colors and asked about the stuffs and after that i saw the back seat not closed properly. I asked one guy to open it and he had a hard time opening it...i was like man leave it...give me a test drive... Then i went out for the test drive on a grey striped bike...i was like hmm lets check this out... got in started to drive and the first thing i felt was hmm...smooth but as it started to up the gears it felt sheeesh...then started realizing the problems. 1. The handle bar is not so wide. 2. Gear lever is a bit awkward. 3. Seats are very very hard...rock bottom ![]() 4. At the 1st 2nd and 3rd gears it kinda smooth..but when its 4th and 5th you dont feel the smoothness any more...it feels like a grinder. 5. Wierd postion for a Choke switch. 6. No feel for the rear shocks. Bad news for my brother...no bikes for him for the moment.. ![]() Good Points. 1. Good looks,Good styling. 2. Double Seats are good. 3. Nice color combination. Paint job is superb. 4. There are lots of stuffs for a young kid to boast of like tubless tyres in 17", disc brakes plus the above. The above things i felt doesnt mean that this bike is bad...No Honda can be bad. Its just because i have been on a karizma for 4 years(compeltely on it) For an 18 year old this is the perfect starting into the biking world. After the test drive i starinht away went to see the spanking new Naked in town...the YAMAHA fz16...

Hi Guys....I own a Stunner CBF and believe me its undoubtedly the best 125cc bike available in India today....and only Glady is next to it......It has very refined Honda engine with decent power and pick-up....it feels like u r riding a 150cc bike or even more....and the mileage which I'm getting is 60-61km/l...and its true.....I do not cross 60km/h speed...as it is new....however it reaches 60km/h from standstill very quickly....the only disadvantage which I feel is its rear shockers r quite stiff......and I like heavy exhaust sound as in apache rtr....but it is quite silent just like any other Honda engine....Rest all is very good....I strongly recommend Stunner for those who r looking for a good durable 125cc bike.....after all its a Honda..
