CBZ is my first bike and feel that this is the best till now. I am very satisfied with the performance till now. It is around 5yrs I have this bike, and never ever faced any problem with it. Trust me or not this has given me one of the best mileage till now. I came across lot of people who own CBZ or who plan to get it, and when I discuss that I generally get any thingh between 45-53 KMPL they do not trust me.
This is a fact my bike has been maintained by a Works Manager Mr. Pillia from one of the Hero Honda franchise in East Delhi, and is strongly recomended by the Sales Manager Hero Honda.
I purchase my bike from Khanna Automobiles in West Delhi and was very dissatisfied with the performance of the bike. After the 2nd and 3rd free services I had to make hell number of visits, to the srvice center as my bike never used to work properly, started giving me bad mileage and even used to get tunred off while driving and the worst thing did not used to start and once I had to push my bike to the service center also. This made me mad and I called Sales Manager Hero Honda and later he forwarded the call to West Delhi Manager who appologised to his best, and then I asked him one center which can give me the best service, then I was recomended to Himgiri Automobile in East Delhi, whcih was 27Km or say atleast 45-60 min one side from my place.
I made a causal visit and met Mr Pillia, Works Manager for this center. He already got call form the corporate office for me and I did not had to explain my problem and this guy took my bike and put it on the service ramp. I would like to add this bike now was jsut 10days old from the 3rd free service done by the previous service center. After 4-5hrs of special supervison of this person I got my bike. He gave his personal touch to it and made some adjustment to it, and handed this bike around 5pm in evening. Now I had no words but to say WOW GREAT. Now my bike had no sound at all and it had terrific pickup and friends cannot tell was great experience. He told me to keep average speed beteen 60-80 KM per Hr and I will clock atleast 50km per liter. And it worked out I got MAx of 53km and on an average I get 45 -50 whatsoever. In the worst case when I exceed service time I get 40 -45kms. Where as the company clains not to get anything between 30-35.
I am sure that once I make a visit to this center my bike never ever can afford to give problem, till it is time for next service. It is now 5yr I have been using this bike and it looks as if it is just 1.5yrs old bike and have no reason to sell this and get a new one. And also have no reason that I should not visit them any more and not to use Hero Honda bikes.
