I’m new here, however I have been reading all of your reviews but I never posted my review before. I have purchased a Red Hunk just the day before yesterday so why I can’t make lots comments on it’s performance.
Advantages: I have taken a ride many bikes before like Pulsar 150cc, Apache, CBZ Extreme etc but what I feel it’s a grate bike in 150cc segment. It’s seating position is really awesome. I’ve got a good support on my back while riding the bike, the seating position is makes me feels good during a long ride, more comfortable, sportier, on the other hand the seat is also soft enough.
More than the front part of the seat the back part is softer. Its different from other bikes like pulsar 150cc. The engine is also too good, the sound of the engine is really awesome, smooth sound. While I was riding at 50-60 kmph I really didn’t hear any sound from the engine. The suspensions are also good enough. But the weight of the bike is a little heavy than other bikes, you can feel it in a first look. But it’s good for balance and the weight is also help to make a good grip on the road.
Disadvantages: What I feel that the bike is missing few things like as other says Digital speedometer, LED tail light and a wider rare tire. However, in my point of view the Digital Speedometer can give us problems in future, like the maintenance cost would be more than a analog meter. If it gets damage in future you have to put so much money in it, near about 1, 500 – 2000 rupees. In addition, the digital meter definitely damage before an analog meter. The worst part is, if we put a digital display thing in direct sunlight or direct heat continuously then the display will definitely get fader after a few times. And also in the digital meter the fuel indicator don’t gives perfect indication, as I felt in pulsar 150cc. therefore I think analog meter is much better than digital meter, we need every thing in digital these days, me also.
Problems: What I faced, the head light and the horn of Hunk are not enough. The horn doesn’t sound louder but it’s also not bad. The gear is a little tighter. Sometime I have to push my feet upon harder.
What the main problem I am facing that the bikes giving really shorter mileage. What I feel it’s giving 25 to 28 kmpl. As other says that they are getting 45 kmpl average mileages. So any buddy can tell me that is it normal for all new bikes?
But in my point of view I must say overall it’s much better than other bikes in this segment. It’s really a good bike and it’s best for me.
Have a Safe journey!

Some Concern About Hunk:
Guys my 1st servicing is yet remain, till date I’ve found some probs in this bike.
Some gear shifting problems. Some times, I have noticed that I couldn’t shift to lower gears normally after suddenly braking in 5th gear or 4th gear. I don’t know if its usual thing or what.
But what the unusual problem I noticed few days back which I never seen in any bike before. I use to ride my bike once or twice in a week due to my job, I started my bike few time using choke before, after it fully idle at home for 7days, But one day when I tried to start my bike using choke from the 1st kick, it didn’t start, I tried many times but then it start without the choke in one kick. Through the day, I noticed that it is not starting in choke but it easily start without choke. Can any one tell me that is it a problem? I have ride many bikes before but never seen like this before. Even yet, today it start in 1st kick, but what is the choke issue? Any one has any idea about this? How dose the choke works? However After reading some reviews I learned that the choke is require only for the cold start. Please post your comments on this.
And any one uses any remote security system in your Hunk? Which one is best? Autocop is not available in my city, I heard about Minda security system in a shop, that company provides all parts to bajaj.
