    Initial Ownership review:

    Cbz 2011 is really heavy bike to drive but once the speedo crosses 15km/h it’s a braze to drive.
    Rear disk brakes are not so crip as the front disk brakes( sometime I feel normal brake are better than rear disk)
    Bike is really a gem to drive in corners. Superb handling!
    Drove around 75kms on day 1 and planning to change the engine oil after another 75 kms, i.e. 150 kms.
    Rear and side styling is way better than the front looks. But the digital console is the best available in the lot.
    Gear changing is heavy when compared to unicorn.
    1ST And 2nd gears are short but other 3 are balanced.
    No Accerories like seat covers are available as of it now!
    And at last- THANKS FOR READING ME FOR SO LONG!
    Congratulation for your new 2011 CBz X-treme.Don't worry about the gears,it will get smoother after every service. Also start checking mileage.Stay in touch with the forum and keep on updating the ownership review. Enjoy and Ride Safe.

      The Beginning:
      In Year 2002 I ask my parents to purchase me a bike.
      That time the obvious choice was Hero Honda Splendor.
      So the search started and I with my cousin took the test ride of various other 100cc bikes available in that era.
      Somehow I got more convinced with the drivability on power output of Kawasaki Bajaj BOXER AR and soon got one in black and red color combo for around Rs.36000 on road price jaipur.
      I completed 34k kms in this time and sold it for Rs.12000.
      This bike servered me well till 2007 till I got my Hands on HERO HONDA GLAMOUR.
      Ownership experience of Hero Honda Glamour convinced Honda engineering is really a masterpiece. I am really impressed by the engine smoothness and dirt cheap maintaince.
      But in mid 2009 I started feeling like I am driving a decade old bike whenever I see any new bike bike broad tyres and digital console.
      So from here now a hunt for new bike started but Again from the fear of increasing fuel priced I finiallied the Honda Stunner.
      Somehow I was happy with this bike but somewhere in my heart I always like the digital console available in new bike these days.

      Now the question was-which bike should I sale-Hero Honda Glamour (2007 make; 24000 kms done) or the Honda Stunner (2009 make-4500 kms done).
      And the Axe was dropped on Honda stunner as I was getting better price when compared to Hero Honda Glamour and I dint wasted a single second to sign the sale letter for Rs 35000.
      The Hunt for the new Bike-
      After driving the HH Glamour for than 3 years I was happy for the quality the Hero Honda brand offers. So I was more inclined towards the HH brand.
      After taking the test ride of other 150cc option in market I find the cbz more re-freshing and better. Only second to Honda Dazzler. But I never liked the twister like styling of dazzler which made me purchase The CBZ 2011 model.

      Now the final take was between HH Cbz 2011 and HH hunk 2011. And the cbz 2011 won the battle there after.

      after buying the hunk rear disc, I had the same feeling but believe me after 300 to 400 Kms of ride you will say the opposite. Give some time to bed in. and after 400 kms report here again the the disc experience. recently three time in a row within two days I saved my self and the road idiots. thanx to the rear disc. I pressed the rear disc only and I was stopped at a less distance than drum (previously I had). As I have heard that the new CBZ is much comfortable to ride longer than the previous one because of the GRS. It it true?
      Don't research too much while purchasing, else you will commit blunder

          Can you please update some pictures of your bike

          Guys, Is there any vibrations at any particular RPM range??
          And what are approximate speeds on given RPMs, say on 5th, What's the speed at 3k, 4k, 5k & 6k??

              saleman told me that this time cbz also have millage indicater as we have already seen in Karizma ZMR...
              owners plz help others try to help...
              there is no RTMI in cbz-x because RTMI uses throttle position sensor to find the mileage by the ECU which is displayed on the console, since cbz-x has no FI and is carburatted therefore no ECU and sensor, so no RTMI.
              speed thrills but kills if you dont have skills

                    +1 to that. at clean the strainer and change the oil filter too at 500 then again at 1000. later on you can change oil filter after every 3000-4000 kms. but all the normal mineral oil's don't work well after about 1800 kms..so it would be a good idea to change oil every 2000 kms rather than going for expensive synthetic oil, which last longer
                    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
