Hey bikers,
Frankly speaking... dont go by the pics posted on various sites. some time they are misleading..... take example of cbz-xtreme.
a lovely bike but really tarnished by some rubbish sites.
Its a real great bike.... you will agree with me once u take the test ride. ( I some how managed the test ride with contacts)
Technologoy wise u just can beat Hero Honda as they have the back up from Honda's R&D which is best in the world. U just cant compare it with any other bike in 150 cc segement in terms of tecnological superiority.
Let me comment on the facts about CBZ-Xtreme:-
First fuel tank:-
Lot many people talk about the tank shape but one has to look at the design from rider's point of view. it is basically for leg position of rider..(u cant just doubt honda for design). u will see similar design in most of the good bike companies with good R&D like Yamaha(Galdiator), even Kawasaki (Caliber croma) had that design, Suzuki-Zeus.
I leave it on other bikers to decide....
Tail Light:-
Amazing................
Head light
Non-conventional design..... does not look good in picture but really great to see in reality. I will not give my 100% to this but still its a different design. Indicator positons and size also are not to my liking. But it goes with the overall built of the bike.
Overall test ride details
The engine is as smooth as butter. the pick-up and ride quality was very good. The balancing of bike is also great. The gears are very smooth. I did not faced any discomfort while riding it.
It gave me feeling of ZIP.ZAP.ZOOM... Dealership sales guy told me that the average would be 55-65 in city.
Now let me talk about the negatives:-
Though not many, but I feel that front could have been lil better. The design of the bike is great.
Overall Verdict:
GO AHEAD
