Though I have referred to this site for drawing conclusions on numerous products. I myself had bought this beast before any reviews had come online..yes I was the among the elite first few. I had to buy a bike and it was my first time..you all know how its like but it was love and admiration at first sight. This beast was standing proudly on the podium with its muscles flexing and ready to be unleashed..that was it. Hunk was undoubtedly my first bike. Though I’m a bit short heighted but this bike posed me no trouble till date (as regards balancing), enough of "Auto"biography..let me get to the Stats :
1) Fuel Consumption - After vrooming through 6000 Kms of Pune Road at the height of traffic @ average speed of 50 KMPH....40 Kms/Litre is what I get on a consistent basis...I’m Happy
2) Comfort - Really comfortable for the rider..I mean I drive 48 Kms to and fro thru Pune’s traffic ...but never had any discomfort hanks to GRS and Pune Municipality...As regards the Pillion....the step seat comes as a soothing experience a good view of the road ahead for the pillion as well...WARNING : Not recommended for pillions sitting in Hamara Bajaj Posture....disrupts the stability of the bike....
3) Reliability - Till now the bike hasn’t given me any issues on that front. Really reliable. Infact I have driven in through a storm and left it behind, believe me folks, I’m still feeling lucky.
But I should mention that my friend who had bought Hunk together with me had some battery problems (nothing HH can do about) and also had trouble when the Rear Alloy wheel bent on a real bad crater.....Tuff up tyres has been a real revelation....half inch of a screw had been embedded in the rear tyre for an entire month....real magic haan....Personal experience..thumbs up on my Dhanno
4) Handling and Control - Should be the USP of this Bike...real smooth...I mean I have learnt riding a geared Motorcycle on this one...real good for learners as well...one can whish thru the thick traffic without much effort...(bad suggestion : don’t practice lane cutting)...and yes you can trust the MRF Zapper with your life....but yes...**ATTENTION FOLKS** - One important point....don’t fill up the rear tyre more than 30 PSI even for a Pillion....your Bike will loose its road grip at a higher PSI on the rear tyre
5) Looks : I have spoken enough. After all, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Personal view...Love at first Sight :-)
