    Well, those things are not probably what matter to you but to most of the populatoin power and performance don't matter. For me, the name and muscle thing apart, Hunk was already a very good bike from any perspective and it just got a great makeover. Remember, that fantastic Honda engine, great handling, superb GRS, pleasing styling and excellent quality build don't leave a lot more to desire for. And those shortcomings are more than taken care of in the upgrade (assuming that the news is correct). This is not a research in progress (in short, R&D) stuff to keep upgrading the vital parts. Having said that, Honda doesn't 'yell out' the changes they make to the engine but they do make improvements on a regular basis. If you want to know about it, speak to a spares counter guy.

    I guess many people here are trying to down play a good effort and a good product. Though I very well know that it is the norm in xBhp to down play anything other than xxxxx unless it is very radical or hard to nit pick or has a very strong following, I'd still like to point out that most of these 20+/-3 keyboard warriors need to mature a lot more in life to appriciate good stuff and accept bad stuff as they are.

    Now, the problem is, why the rear disc brake??? to jack up the prices?

    A very interesting strategy on display here from two companies in opposite directions. In the last one week we saw that Honda's are adding a Rear Disc Brake to 150cc bikes that don't really need them and jacking up prices. Yamaha has cut down even the front disc brake to cut down on the cost (of items that people don't carve for and don't use even when provided) and gave a good 150mm Drum. Remember, very very few people know how to use the front disc brake properly and then very few use it in the first place - for the fear of falling and/or locking up the wheel.

    aah..the post I was waiting for.

      A very nice upgrade to the already very good product. Tubeless tyres are extremely welcome along side other upgrades. If HH wants to keep it as a 150cc bike, then there's no point in engine upgrade I guess. Its good enough!

                      I was wondering how come the Hunk gets all this and their supposedly premium offering - the CBZ-X doesn't. But the CBZ-X is selling well and the Hunk is not able to match the numbers.

                          HeroHonda has given the phrase "all new", an all new meaning indeed.
                          But it would be great to have these features on a cbz-x.

                            nice !! now the line up is complete..
                            fz -16 - digital tacho,~14ps,sporty styling,fat a$$ wheel
                            unicorn dazzler - digital tacho,~14ps,sporty styling,rear disk
                            new hunk - digital tacho,~14ps,muscular styling(according to hh),rear disk

                            now i guess tvs will follow.. but they already have all the above in their 160,so pump it more i guess..
                            suzuki is the only company with only 1 150cc model as of now..
