Hi My name is Narayanan, am hailing from Chennai. I thought of buying a bike in 150cc category for a long long time. My options were 1. Unicorn, 2. Hunk and 3. Apache. I never thought about Pulsar bcos of 2 reasons.
Way too common
Heard from my friends it will give lots of problem after using it for a year or 2.
Everyone told me to go for unicorn and infact I still feel Unicorn is the best in 150cc category but the reason y I dint go for it is bcos of it looks, to me it looked like Yamaha Libero, Unicorn people dont mistake me bcos looks are subjective. So at last I settled for Hunk bcos of her looks n guess wat all my friends told me that hunk really sucks in looks, so lik I mentioned looks are subjective.
I have driven around 1500 kms and I have to share my experience with u people. On the day it got delivered to me I faced 2 problems basically, 1. wen I apply front disc brake a stupid noise was coming and secondly a big noise was coming from rear shock absorbers. It was very irritating for me to hear these noises bcos none of my friends and also my family members wanted me to buy this bike but I sint listen to them, so wen these problems came they told me this is y I told u not to buy hunk as it is not a fast selling vehicle( True Actually). I think the real problem is not with the vehicle, its with useless Service people, they forgot to apply grease so wat happened was both shock absorbers and front disc break was not workin smoothly and so the noise came. But they dint rectify Immediately, only after me complaining to Hero honda website they rectified it.
I think its one hell of a bike with excellent looks and it handles just great. Mileage is around 48-50 km for me in city traffic. Am not tat much of a racer so I don know about top speed n all n one thing wat I noticed was if it touches 80 the engine s not smooth but till 70 engine s absolutely smooth. I wonder y this bike is not a hit amoung our youth, may be its tough to beat competitions from PULSARS, UNICORN and FZ-16.
Even after I faced problem with service and some noises from shock absorbers I just love my bike, simple bcos of its engine smoothness and also bcos of the amount I paid for it, so I have no option than to love my bike(lol). all in all HUNK is a wonderful bike
So if anybody want to buy a new bike in 150 cc category, just give a thought abt hunk.
Pros: Engine Smoothness
Cons: Gear Shifting is very hard and ofcourse the great Hero Honda Service
