    Bike has good braking as well.. Not sure how you apply brakes but it works more than just perfect for me

    regarding the xtreme sports.. I think [MENTION=28527]sibun[/MENTION] might be the best person to contact
    ok so we cant expect the same from the new engine that churns 15.6. Bhp?and double or single disc which is better?

        What we can expect from the new Hunk? I am not sure... This can only be answered by either the owners or the ones who had a test ride of it..

          That's what I am saying to the TS to test ride both bikes back to back and it will clear all his doubts.

            New Hunk still retains the same old 100/90 rear tire whereas Xtreme sports gets 110/90 tires which provides more grip and cornering.
            This is the single difference between them.
            Braking & vibration is same in both the bikes.

            No worries at all.

            Now choice is yours.

              Both of them are having almost the same specification with the Hunk being a little more muscular. The Xtreme is higher than the Hunk. Also, as already mentioned, the Xtreme has a slightly wider wheelbase. As far as vibrations are concerned, both of them are good till 75-80 kmph after which a little vibe can be felt. But, apart from one or two bikes that is normal for almost all the 150ccs.
              All comes down to your preference and comfort level. I'd prefer the Xtreme Sports though.
              A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                  I think new hunk will have more power and less refinement,but still better than apache or pulsar

                    I have used hunk modal (2010) and looking for new bike.
                    I also narrowed down to Xtreme sports and new Hunk (Hunk is borrowing same engine from xtreme sport 15.6 BHP).
                    Yesterday I took test drive of xtreme sports. I really like the smoothness of drive. However, the sitting position a bit higher (Ok for me). But the seat at fuel tank is not fit, that means, it pokes into thigh. Ergonomics is little odd and tough to hold tank while driving and breaking. May be, I am feeling odd because I am used to Hunk.
                    Another point is, key position blind to rider. You have to get used to first.

                    Considering above things and with same engine in both bikes. I think Hunk is worth waiting.

                    Anyone knows what is actual launch date of Hunk in Hyderabad or in other states? Dealers are not giving actual date but they got new quote.
                    Both bikes are costing ~88k for dual disk break.

                      RTR160 is a good bike no doubt but for his weight and height, it'd seem small(no offense to the thread starter).

                          Why are you changing your options? You wanted a suggestion between the Hunk and Xtreme isnt it? Why ask about Apache RTR?

                          If you want a proper more optimized response then follow the below format
