Bikers- what you are going to read is expert advice from an expert. I proudly own a CBZ (not Xtreme), however I have tried not to be biased towards CBZ or Hero Honda.
Having driven almost all bikes in the 150cc segment that are available in India, I qualify to write this, so you are deprived of the right to question me. I just tried the “All new muscle Hunk” note: the limited edition one which one of my pals will be an owner not sure whether a rightful owner though. It claims 0 to 60 in 5 secs and lives up to it, but so what CBZ, pulsar even the sporty Apache just manages to do it.
Now the CBZ “It had rocked the nation like nothing ever had, it won hearts, it became a cult, it became a legend in its own life time” it sure did, and they say the “legend is reborn” the Xtreme. Did it? Xtreme loses to the Hunk in looks and in feel. They are equally powerful at 14.4 Ps. Wondering what Ps is, close the browser and watch “Kyu Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi bahu Thi”. But for all those wannabe bikers, PS is the German name for horsepower, a horse is a pferd, power is strom, hence "PS".
I am bored of seeing the pulsar on Indian roads, I find a guy on a Bajaj Chetak cooler to the guy on Pulsar. I have my votes for the pulsar with round headlights when it comes to looks. It was “definitely male” but can’t say the same for the alien head pulsar with its razor sharp tail. The throttle is a fraction better than the CBZ.
Now moving to the Yamaha stable, Libero disappointed me and just when I was losing faith, they decided to woo me. The new FZ is an amazing piece of engineering, and yes it has Yamaha written all over it. I will never trade it for its sheer looks and the Yamaha logo. Yamaha is back in the segment which was ruled by Hero Honda and Bajaj.
So if you have the bucks the Hunk and FZ are the bikes to look out for, and the added advantage these bikes have is the seating comfort and the high pillion seat. So all you guys who are lucky to have a girl rob a bank or blackmail your dad or take the tough road and earn the bucks to ride these machines.
