    But I am always puzzled why Hunk costs less than Xtreme!!!

    The GRS on Hunk cost 1800 where as similar one on pulsar's nitrox cost just 1200 .
    HH always commands a premium for their bikes.so no surprise there
    It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

        May be, But i see in the functional point of view. Hunk is excellent handler of all 150cc's only after R15 and Unicorn, And that GRS plays very important role in that.

          I agree.Though most parts cost more,they have better reliability and not to mention the amazing fit and finish(I found it impressive on the hunk)...

          • ^^ congo. on the new bike.

            I bought formula 1 wax FOR RS 150 and used it yesterday its not giving the shine i am used to and the first bottle i used the wax looked really solid
            this new one looks kinda like liquid.

            Anyone here used petronas sprinta fully synthetic oil here .I need their contact details in chennai.

            riaz how is grip has the safety improved significantly with the M45??

                    The teflon coating thing i never tried many here say its a SCAM.The formula 1 is very easy to use i apply it then leave it for 10 mins. then wipe it off with a soft cloth instruction is their on the dubba itself

                          • I have done 48 kms on the New bike...<=3000 rpm, not exceeded 40 (except once when i did 60 for a few seconds).
                            I get a wierd plasticky smell when i stop the bike, like plastic burning. Is this normal?
                            The tappet sound is there...Pics are coming soon...

                            On the colour, I was told by a friend that this is one of the SE(Special edition) versions. "there were only two bikes of this colour when I went to buy!" Also it has a decal design on the tank, and a triangle BULL logo on the airscoops...

                            Added a couple of pictures...forgive the bad picture quality, will post better ones tomorrow!

                              BTW...That smell is normal on new bikes, Do not worry about it. What you have to worry is the tappet sounds which is highly unrealistic on a new bike!!! Are you sure its a tappet sound?

                              I never had problem on my Old CBZ Xtreme with tappets or infact there were no issues on the bike except fused pilot lamp.

                                by Tappet noise, I mean a slight clicking sound when riding...like a tick tick tick...very continuous and same tempo at any speed...
