    Re: CBZ xtreme / Hunk

    Hey people!

    I have been a huge fan of Honda CBF150 engine, thats why I had owned CBZ Xtreme twice & Uni150 once.

    Currently I own P220. Though it offers more power etc, but the NVH is bad. Hence I want to buy 2016 XtremeSports/Hunk/Uni150 again.


    So what do you guys suggest? Im 6 feet tall & weigh 80 kilos. If anyone owns Xtreme sports or hunk, please do explain about it!


    Thanks.

      Hi,

      Please think again. I own a 2010 cbz xtreme and the bike is still running good. It is quite reliable, niggle free good service network and spare parts are available all across. No doubt you will enjoy owning any of the bikes you mentioned above. However, you will miss out on the following features from a P220,

      1. Really nice projector headlamps
      Headlights on CBZ suck bigtime.

      2. More power
      Although Honda engine is smooth, on the highway you feel that an additional 6th gear and some more power is missing.

      3. Nice little features
      Engine kill switch, small pilot lamps behind the switches, auto turn off indicators are little nice things missing from the CBZ family.

      4. Why not other bikes ?
      Since you are a good 6 footer, why not suzuki GS150R ? It is a tall bike. Do ride it once.

        Agreed!

        Mate, the GS150R is permanently discontinued since quite some time ago. Today went to dealership and checked out Xtreme sports & Hunk: brand new bikes have valve noises, so sad to see Hero going downhill.

        I will try to get RTR200, but unfortunately it hasnt arrived @my city yet.

          I feel you brother, moving from a Karizma to a P220, I exactly know how it feels.

          Rather than got for a 150, you could try the 100~125cc models, they're fun to ride and lighter on the pocket.

            I had a chance to speak to an Xtreme sports customer during my visit to Hero ASC.
            He upgraded from a Glamour and looked like someone who does long rides as part of his job.
            He is overall OKAY with the bike and is extremely happy with the mileage he is getting - 50 kmpl.
            His main concern was the riding position, he is not that comfortable it seems. I advised him that Xtreme/Hunk are comfortable bikes, he may need to get used to the half-sporty riding position.
            And, the bike's chain comes loose so often and now he is advised to change the chain-sprocket at 8k kms!
            Also, couple of our fellow members had reported valve noise and minor engine issues with the new bikes, which hopefully was resolved under warranty.
            One big factor favoring the new Xtreme/Hunk duos is the Price - It is a around 10k cheaper than its competitors!

            To conclude I feel buying the new Xtreme/Hunk is a hit or miss thing!

              Today I went to 2 dealerships & started 6 brand new Hunk & Xtreme sports to listen to the engine sound. Guess what? all had valve noises, (some bikes had more & noise some had less), but all sound very abnormal. Also started & listened to a Uni150: butter smooth & silent. This made me consider it strongly. Though I feel double discs are necessary.

              Also test drove RTR180 ABS, surprisingly felt smooth, without any engine noise. For a 6 footer, comfort was okay-ish. I only considered RTR180 because it had ABS option, which could be a lifesaver some day. Will wait a week more to see if RTR200 makes it to my town. No sign of RTR200-ABS though.

                My mistake, totally forgot about GS150R. RTR 200 might be a bit short for you since you are tall. Why not Honda Hornet? OF course you can never go wrong with Unicorn

                  Yeah I also test drove Hornet & Uni160. throttle response felt good, but build quality is bad! Refinement not as good as the 150.

                  plus lack of spares, high cost of spares, low resale, more fragile fibre parts (hornet), cheap switches.


                  This is why I decided for a Uni150, very reliable & refined, available spares, very good sturdy build, good resale if I upgrade to bigger bikes.

                  few cons: thin tyres + no rear disc + a little underpowered. That's it. I can live with these cons.


                  Uni150 has a long waiting time, till then I hope RTR200 arrives, i will just TD it lets see how it goes

                    Yes all 15.8PS hunk/sports have cam noise present. This is normal for this new engine.
                    But while riding that noise is hardly noticeable and actually is smoother compared to 14.4PS based hunk/xtreme.

                    I can say one thing about this new engine: Within the air cooled 150cc category this is the only bike (among the bikes that i have ride) that has no gaps in power delivery, whether its low end, mid range or top end power delivery is flawless.

                      Thanks mate, I actually liked the way it drove around, was smooth, vibe free. But the only thing scared me was that noise.

                      What I wanted to ask you is: Did that cam/valve noise eventually reduce by its own after few thousand KM's? or remained same? or mechanic tightened the valves to reduce the noise?

                      also, does that 'noise' affect the engine anyway, or is it naturally generated by a healthy engine?


                      Kindly let me know!

                          Noise will reduce after piling up few thousands of kms.
                          Even if the mechanic tighten the valves, the noise will not go away
                          as far as i know this noise is generated due to high lift cam with higher compression (more higher lifted compared to earlier hunk/xtreme) hence i can safely assume that noise is generated from a healthy engine. only way to get that noise away is to install 14.4 ps xtreme's cam but power will also go down.

                          But yes these kind of noise is not expected from HERO.

                            This noise will be present in ALL brand new Xtreme/hunk/Sports bikes

                                Mate, currently Xtreme/Hunk/Sports all 3 use the same 15.6 BHP 10:1 engine. Noise is present in all these.
