I have the panther black Hero Honda hunk...............
Just going to point out a couple of this about this monster.......
A couple of things before that....
Self Background: Love bikes since childhood. Started riding since I was 18. Biking was a strict no at home, hence there was no question of buying a bike. I used to quench my thirst for biking with my friends bikes. I got my first bike in 2007. Was looking for P150 back then but settled for a Platina because of the financial constrains.
Platina served me very well for over 3 n half yrs (over 45K KMS) without ne major problems. Was maintained well as I though that this would be my life partner. But there came a time & realization of what I was missing. Also, at this point I could well afford a more powerful bike which will satisfy the biker (M not a riper but a tourer) in me.
So the hunt began for a new machine. This took me over 6 months, n number of visits to all the possible dealers, taking long test rides on my friends bikes, surfing net etc.
About the bike: Finally I zeroed on HH Hunk. I own a Panther Black Double Disk.
It has clocked 600+ KMS (first service is still due). Have not crossed 4K clicks in any gear, but I do give the thrust till 4K mark. Being riding in this way, this bike is giving me a constant mileage of 55KMPL (no exaggeration). Engine is butter smooth. Can’t hear the engine in 5th gear @ 4K RMP. It’s a true vibe & sound free engine (I know the real test of this would be once the engine is pushed to its limits, but still). Exceptionally smooth clutch (guess after using a Bajaj, it has to be. No offence to any Bajaj fan, m still one for Platina, it’s a personal view). A lot of my friends advised that rear disk is not required in 150cc, but trust me guys, both the disks in HHH inspire confidence in heavy breaking. This is because HH believes in providing progressive disk compared to more powerful disks which one tends to lock sometime or the other. Gear shift is on harder side then my personal liking. (guess will get smooth by 2nd service.
Lastly, I would like to confess, looks of hunk don’t appeal much to me. But said that, how much time will I myself be looking at the bike, it’ll be more of riding the bike.
P.S.: Sorry for the lengthy review about myself. Will try to update service wise review of my bike. MS has helped me a lot in my bike search.
