That's one thing I like about XBHP compared to any other X,Y,Z forum.. i.e. Responsible moderation.


About the NEW (???) CBZ Xtreme..
Did anyone notice the Vin Diesel Starer movie XXX like "X" on the Rear Section..??

Whats that ? is it stickers

A straight copy of SV650's tail.. doesn't even work half as good, most of the Pulsars on road have a 1 & 1/2 tail light.. It couldn't be fixed still.. says a lot about the quality of this bike..

u wanna be mad.. beat it..!!

Was the new() CBZx taken out of the cartoon network?

@V_310

Thats too much to ask for....dream on

The CBZ Xtreme's got a good engine (thanks to its donor, the Honda Unciorn's enigne)..

...but then the Styling and Detailing..??
Well..

I think most india manufacturers are following the same suit these days, visual upgrades, minor tweaks to the engine (not all the time).. Probably a strategy to refresh already successful products rather than making a new bike from ground up & taking a risk! Even honda has followed this till now with their Unicorn..

The only exception being Yamaha & TVS with their R15-FZ16 & RTR respectively.

Yamaha made a gutsy move using their vast international market experience & took chance with r15, it's paying off pretty well, HH & Bajaj don't have that experience & coming up with a power bike could be a big gamble... thats with I think is holding them back..

What I think is that the market currently is full of good choices in 150cc segment & all are good in their own way with minor faults with every product.. even r15 to say..

It takes a lot to develop a new bike, even a CBZ extreme takes hell of job to develop.. so visual upgrades is not a bad thing in our country.. it actually works in sub-urban and country side.. people flock showrooms to see new stickers & they buy it for that.. more that half buyers in india don't really compare the performance of the entire range in a segment & they buy what clicks to their eye...

I had a similar one in Silver way back in 1999-2002.

R.I.P

^^ See the handle bar it has now matt finish.

My first bike.. 2001-2004.. what a wonderful experience

even though i own an zma for 3 years now...i still have a big time admiration over the cbz i had...man it was awesome...cant forget its ride quality comfort and what not...wow...just wow

i had a ferrari red, engine ported, exhaust modified, eliminator 130" MRF tyre, filled speed93 from 2003... everyone used to call me crazy..its just petrol man...afterall u will smoke it...but i loved my babe...sho...those were the best days...

Well if Hero Honda cares to take a look at Xbhp then I have some questions.First it is clear taht Hero Honda wants its volumes sold massively.Bringing budget bikes with budget developments-is what they aim at.Relaibility at an affordable price............is it not?
Second,Is Honda affecting or dictating HH's future in performance bikes? ZMA based on the engine of CRF230L only gets the upgrade when its mother engine has developed.

Now if that is the case then a conclusion could be clearly drawn that HH might never venture above 230cc as because the 250cc bikes of Honda would only wear the Honda badge and not Hero Honda.Why not? after all Honda has only a couple of scoots,a 125cc and a150cc in its line up for India.

This strategy of the company if true,then Hero Honda would be a success forever.The common rider can always depend on Hero Honda and the entusiast can rely fully on Honda.
I never blamed Hero Honda for not bringing high performance bikes.But at least they should do justice to the successors of macihnes like CBZ and Karizma.

Hunk is the actual able successor of the CBZ.Xtreme I think is a waste of time,money and taste.Karizma needs its 225ccfi immediately.The market is teeming with race bred competitors.Thanks.

HH Plans are easy to understand........

They are always there for the economy indians and not for the performance based enthusiasts like us..............

They rely only on Efficiency and reliablity...........

So Honda is directing them pretty well ----- and HH is happy to be a Leading Motorcycle manufacturer - under the guidance of them.......

But Imagine Hero without HOnda ????????

^ hunk = xtreme if you didnt know

plus the cbz-x returns a decent efficiency of 55kmpl if kept stock, mine being modded gives around 47-50 kmpl

its just that the above combination of colours is ghey
see the honda stunner, good looks at a budget price, honda got it right, then why cant HH ?

Soo true yarr RIP

A Classic Totally Destroyed!!!
