Hero Honda Hunk Review
Print This Post
Today morning I went to the nearest Hero Honda showroom and I got myself a test ride of the new Hero Honda Hunk. Hunk is a 150 cc bike from Hero Honda and costs Rs.55000 (ex-showroom). It has a self start and kick start model.
How does it look?
I was really astonished by the great looks of the Hero Honda Hunk. Stylish and majestic are the first words that anyone would utter from their mouths on the first looks of Hunk. The side skirts (called shoulders by Hero Honda) in the tank is the most noticeable feature of the bike. It is sharp and curved which gives a really good muscular and sporty look. In my opinion it looks better than Pulsar, CBZ or any other bike in the 150 cc range.
The butterfly like head light design looks like the head light of Karizma but, it is slighly smaller in size. While riding the bike I felt that that the doom is slightly smaller compared to the size of the tank, but this does not affect its external appearance.
The alloy wheels look great. Nowadays alloy wheels have become the standard in every bike in the premium segment. The tail portion of the bike looks unique and some may like and some may not.
How does it perform?
When I took the bile out for the test ride, the first thing that I noticed was the responsiveness of the throttle. It is very sensitive and the engine responds even for the slightest twist. Even though it is just 150 cc, the pickup is quite good in comparison to other bikes. The bike does not vibrate until the speeds of 80 kmph, but after that it becomes a little unstable. For Indian riding conditions, most of the time we would be driving the bike only around 60 kmph!
Hunk boasts a 5 speed gear box with the usual 1 down, 4 up gear shift pattern. The clutch is smooth and gears can be shifted with the slightest effort in the foot. The front wheel has a 240 mm disc break and rear wheel has a 130 mm drum breaks. In my opinion it gives enough safety for Indian road conditions.
How does it feel?
The cushioned seats are very comfortable and in my opinion you can use this bike for long distance travel. The handle bar positions and foot rests are ergonomically designed to keep your body comfortable as much as possible.
Hero Honda Hunk is most suited for youngsters, especially college students. The front seat is separated from the back seat by a step and hence it makes a bad choice for a family man to buy it (when he needs to have 2 kids and 1 wife in the same bike!).
How does it stand out?
The bike claims to have a ‘big bike feel’ which is the most sought after feature in the Indian bikes today. It boasts of puncture resistant tires for tough riding. Many bikes feature ‘gas reservoir suspension’ nowadays and the Hero Honda Hunk is no exception! Gas reservoir suspension claims to give a ‘smoother’ ride. Hunk features tumbleflow induction technology which combines air and fuel to give a surge of adrenaline pumping pickup. The bike comes in red, blue, black and silver.

Nice review, the hunk does look well. HH should add digital instrumentation.
muz on September 16, 2008 at 10:19 am
what is the mileage of hh .which is better pulsar or hh
Deepak on September 16, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Muz, if you want a 150cc bike, go for Honda Unicorn!
ashiq on September 19, 2008 at 2:46 pm
i am about 6feet 1 inche tall. i wuld like to know whether it is advisible for me to go for a hunk or a unicorn
Deepak on September 20, 2008 at 2:12 am
Hi Ashiq, I feel Unicorn is better. Hunk’s tank will be a little disturbing to your knees. I am also 6 ft tall and I feel that.
Fahad on September 20, 2008 at 5:25 pm
First of all i say one think that, Hunk is better than pulsar & apache. Hunk is so sporty & gorzious to look, it’s style in the tank it looks like such a Hunk.It’s looking so pretty that everybody like the bike at first sight. so who want to bye 150cc bike so go ahead for the Hunk coz it’s performance & outlook is better than other 150cc bikes.
pulsar is on 60km it create vibration but Hunk vibrate after 80km plus(+).pulsar & apache already defeated with the CBZ-Xtreame but Hunk is it’s upgraded version,so it’s really far to touch Hunk. so who like to show style in bike riding go for the Hunk beacouse it’s really pure muscle “HUNK”
rahul on October 2, 2008 at 1:57 pm
ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
what a piece of crap…
@Fahad,
1)Hunk might be good for you… its not better than pulsar and apache.
2)Pulsars do not vibrate at 60 (i wonder if hunk can even do a 80)
3)CBZ Extreme cant beat Pulsars.. leave alone RTR… nothing beats it in this segment.
4)biking is not style.. its a passion..
and yes.. unicorn is a great bike…

Hi,
Hunk is best among 150cc series, mileage 48-52, on road cost Rs.65,000 in vellore.
Sharath on November 15, 2008 at 9:35 am
Unicorn really sucks…..
Unicorn is Very much uncomfortable…. seating position sucks in unicorn…. long travel in Unicorn will make ur legs pain….
Hunk is really very COMFORT…. looks are great…. pick up is far better than pulsar and unicorn….
Apache can beat hunk in speed and p150 or unicorn cant…. but apache engine sucks…..
in total HUNK is a great package….
Deepak on November 15, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Yes, Hunk is a great bike, but Unicorn has its own respect in my opinion. It is from one of the world’s largest auto makers!
akshay on November 22, 2008 at 6:40 pm
hey i think that unicorn is the product of most tecnologically refined among all 150cc seg , as it is under the BANNER of one of the largest auto makers HONDA . its monosuspension is awesome and none bike even pulsar220 have such comfort as UNICORN . also now the latest unicorn premium also upgraded its stylimg and graphics . unicorn is a bike with evergreen styling and comfort. its handling is just gr8 and and its most silent engine do not vibrate even at 100 km\hr. its not the simply indegenous its afterall HONDAAA…..
akshay on November 22, 2008 at 6:43 pm
also compare with all bokes in 150 seg unicorn is largest in lengt and has max. height. so best suitable for tall genext…..
ckumar on December 1, 2008 at 12:58 pm
i think hunk is d best as compared to the junks in its class………..
Dinesh on December 18, 2008 at 2:39 pm
i m having Hunk for the past few months. i rode pulsar, apache, unicorn, Cbz….. but this hunk has its own style. real muscle…. its always happens when a new hero enters all the oldies will tell the positives as negatives and this happened to our newby HUNK. all bikes has its own qualifications but Herohonda engine and its reliablity far better than others(unicorn has +ve as its Honda’s)..its not just its 4m Herohonda so m supporting but its also herohonda(Desh ki dadkan not in just words it speaks in its quality) engine tht making this Hero Hunk way beter than others….so better all old dadas give way for new born baby HUNK…..
Atul kamble on December 22, 2008 at 5:39 pm
cbz or hunk waht u think
Deepak on December 22, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Hey Atul, both have the same engine, only looks are different. So buy what looks good for your eyes!
Dinesh on December 26, 2008 at 3:11 pm

john smith on January 28, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Company launched a new bike hunk.Hero Honda is the best company in India.They look sporty and outstanding .Company launched a serval colours. According to me it’s look better compare to pulsar and apachi etc But company miss place one thing they doesnot provide digital metres and I wanna know what is the mileage of this bike.
Andrew barrow on January 28, 2009 at 12:25 pm
It looks stunning, i like its black wheel, its tank and its seat design which make hunk uninque. It is a very lighter bike when riding as compare to the bajaj pulsar, but i don’t like its back light it’s to small, it does’nt have a digital meter and a disk brake in bake tire.
HIRAK on January 30, 2009 at 4:13 pm

rudresh on January 31, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Really one of the best bikes in the 150 segment for its price and power. Wonderful handling with its adjustable clip-ons. It even has better mileage than FZ16, averaging about 50. If you dont really bother about the vibes, this is the best catch in the segment. U’ll surely love your ride.
Anii on February 3, 2009 at 8:08 am
Guys,Which colour is better?
Black or the panther black,sice red colur fades away too quickly.
Also wan to kow would it be a problem for 6+ feet guy like me?

luv on February 16, 2009 at 4:49 pm
hunk is really the best
Akhil on February 19, 2009 at 3:48 am
Hi, I am using hunk for last 7 months and would like to share both its possitve and negative with you people.
+ when taking a comparison it 150 cc segment it look different and stylish
+ For young guys it has the best supportive sitting angle.
+ pick up is awsome but it again depends upon your style of driving..
+ Price it costed me around 65 K on road in banglore.
+ milage comes around 45
- dnt expect more then 95 + it shakes hard
- NO digital meter.
- Reer wheel tyre gard is a bit to long.
But agian i found it a good option all together.
prasad on February 25, 2009 at 10:12 am
which is better bike in 150cc category is it hunk,cbz extreme,unicorn,pulsar,fz16 or r15 in terms of looks, mileage and power
Murugan on March 2, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Prasad,
Hunk/CBZ/Uni are same with different styling, Hunk and Xtreme have better performance figures. All are best value for money bikes. All are HONDAS.
FZ16 appeals to fun loving young lads, the best street bike to do wheelies and stoppies in front of your house.
R15 is track bike, kindly ride once before buying, some may not like for orinary commuting, excellent w/e bike for long rides around your city/town.
Pulsar still sports unrefined engine, reliability is always a big question, Pulsars are not selling anymore.
GS150R is new bike on the lock, good commuter, packs features and styling of all bikes, excellent tourer.

If there are few passionate bikers in the country i am sure my gang will be one of them , I owned ,Tested and tried Bike segments starting from 60cc-350cc . If you consider the Unicorn to be one of the best in the 150cc segment ,I would say Hunk is better than it . Hunks beauty does not lies in it looks ,Its the chasis of the old legendary CBZ and Powerful yet most reliable Engine of the Unicorn , the Combo is just Mind Boggling . Ride now i am proud Owner of 1989 Rx-100 ,Karizma and hunk . at any given day to have the most adventerous ride in the City , I would pick up hunk for its superhuman handling and Comfortable ride , This bikes has done 190000km in its first year and seen almost every highway in india , There is a small vibration which starts creeping Up after 90 + , but this bike can make 110+ without giving you creeps about . So far No major problems except the chain gets loose somtimes ,which is common for heavy duty use .150 pulsar looks like Old granny in front of hunk .But RTR can give a good competition to it . To make it short Hunk is beauty with performance .

u r absolutly right buddy
proud owner of hunk i m
Krishna Kabir Sabri on May 27, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Hi I am a owner of Hunk bought 3 months back, all my frnds really appreciated the looks but I find the performance not much good.After 60km/hr speed it feels like you need to put more effort to tkae it a head.I dont knw there is some problem & i also did not find 0-60 in 5.2 sec and the avg is also less than 45.
plz help me what to do whether there is some fault in the bike or it will get over by the 2nd or 3rd service.
Plz PLz reply
Abs on May 28, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Change the stock Carbo of the bike and Switch to Castrol power1 racing , Hunks engine may drag a little when you are trying to speed it up , Tried to make sure your servicing is done proper and engine oil is completly changed . it will surely bring results
Akash on June 19, 2009 at 6:29 pm
if you drive at 50-60 KMPh then its around 50-55 KMPL and if you blow the throttle off and move to 80+ then 43-47 KMPL and its practical ,,m using it from past 1.5 Year
Akash on June 19, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Brother i would like to tell you that unicorn and hunk got the same engine technologies and both have exactly same engine except of Cubic cylinders width which u might b not known of ,so
brother if u respect unicorn then do hats off to HUNK cuz its dad OF UNICORN and all other bikes in this segment……..
Passion ,,u r saying passion then u might not b known that owing a pulsar and driving is not passionate now a days ,,if u r passionate about bike then u must purchase every bike which u find is good at every launch of a new bike ,,,and if u r passionate about bikes then u must go for YAMAHA R15 but u will not ,and i tell u why cuz u bought pulsar and for u that is best ,,but u should admire and praise the bike which is showing u his taillight ,,,u got ma point ,,i think not,,,,so be adaptable
SID on July 10, 2009 at 9:11 am
Hi there,
I am planning to buy my first bike… Like all i am too confuse to choose the best bike for myself… I have done many research on the Apache RTR FI on the internet, asked few of the friends all response directs to one point and that is its engine vibrates a lot … which i do not to happen with my first bike no doubt its actually runs well like a wild horse and can beat up any bike in 150 cc segment. But again reliability is also important.. now I am doing further reaseach on which bike to select.
Please guys help with the best information you have. I would be glad to know your personal experience if you own a bike..
my options are:
TVS Apache RTR FI
Yamaha FZ
HH Hunk
Honda Unicorn…
all the above bike has their own identity and story but what I am looking for is …
A good mileage.
Reliability so I can use for a long time.
No maintenance
Good Comfort and Performance.
Style (but I can compromise on this part).
Please all the experts out there please reply to my request and help me out..
Thanks
abhi on July 10, 2009 at 6:37 pm

Saikat Chaudhuri on October 8, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Friends today (08.10.09) I finally got my HUNK its absolutely new with its Graphics, it has 2 BULL badges on both the sides of the bike & its amazing, The Shock Absorbers are now in Red just like the Karizma ZMR, FInally the HUNK has the LEGENDARY ATFT engine which was featured in the Award winning CBZ extreme. I love this bike as I am a bit Bulky & the design of the bike matches up for my flabbyness which the CBZ X does not do & not to mention the Silencer which is a bit elevated making it more sporty. Its lovely even while riding it.

Pranay on October 30, 2009 at 10:26 pm
My brother got this BULL in grey clothing a week before diwali. It is a fantastic machine. U can feel the power of its engine as u press the self start. Justifying its image of a bull hunk’s performance and power is unmatched. I have ridden several other bikes of this segment bt the 150cc mill of this bike gives much more confidence and enjoyment of riding than any other bike, let it be apache rtr, or fz16.
The pick up is the 2nd best in the segment (fz 16 has the best pickup) bt at the speeds of 60+, it is much more stable and easy to control.
Mileage of the bike is not an issue (atleast till now). I m getting a healthy mileage of 50+ before first service.
So all the bikers who want to buy a bike with head turning looks, superb performance and good mileage,HERO HONDA HUNK is the bike for them.

hero honda hunk is very very beautiful. i really like it.now 1years i use this bike,this is so cool bike.

Hey., I bought the new HUNK a month back and am completely satisfied. I was planning to buy a new bike for such a long time and was confused wt to buy.
But ultimately ended up buying this BULL. Its simply amazing..
I ride an average of 70 km per day (50% city and 50% highway) and am getting a mileage of 52-55. The engine is real powerful and very smooth. And this bike is the most comfortable in its segment.., way better than the pulsars. Buy the HUNK guys, You’ll never regret it.

Heay friends i am little bit confused to purchase the bike..which one should i select option is PAssion pluss or hunk..So can u guide me which one is good in milage and performance..
And what is the averaged of the bike after 1st service
Pranay on November 16, 2009 at 6:59 pm
@Suraj
Hunk & Passion+ r completely different bikes. hunk is 150cc whereas passion is 100cc. If u want superb mileage & satisfying looks with less investment, than go for passion. And if u want a performer with gr8 power & pickup than hunk is your bike.
U wont got both qualities i.e mileage & performance, in the same bike. And as far as mileage after 1st service is concerned passion will give 60-65 kmpl & hunk will give 50+ (alot depend on the road conditions u drive on & your style of riding)
In my opinion, if mileage & performance r ur main concerns than go for a 125cc bike like HH Glamour or Honda Stunner or Yamaha Gladiator which will give u a commendable mileage (ofcourse slightly less than a 100cc bike) and performance comparable to a 150cc machine.
Choose wisely & drive safe.
Satyajit Das on November 27, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Hello everyone,
My name is Satyajit, and I now have Hunk (ATFT) for more than 3 months now. I just completed my 4th service as i use the bike very much. Let me tell you about this bike:
To be honest, I haven’t tried Apache yet so wont comment. All other 150cc bikes don’t stand in front of it. I have read all the comments in this forum, and my experiences are:
Positives:
This bike is HUGE (I mean big and heavy both) with kerb weight 146kg (heaviest in its segment). I have rode it in city in heaviest traffic. it has awesome control, perfect handling and a good pickup. It gives me an average of 45-48 in city.
I have also rode it in long drive for over 7-8 hrs long journeys (I went to Dehradun and Nainital from Delhi around 3-4 times), it has no vibration at all (believe me) at a speed of 90. At speed 90-110 it does vibrate a little. The bike is absolutely stable at 110km/hr and sticks to the road. No shaking or fear factor even when you overtake a fully loaded truck at the speed of 110km/hr. It comes down to 30km/hr in 3 secs when both brakes applied. I don’t at all feel tired after the long ride. (I went to drop my girlfriend from Delhi to Paonta Sahib, 50 kms from Dehradun, a total of 262Km from Delhi and back non stop same day!)A perfect handling and a perfect bike for long journeys (As you see in Hollywood movies). Average in highways is 55-56. It is stable in curves too.
Negatives:
Not for meak people (I mean thin), because you need tough legs. It needs more space (on road and at parkings too). Headlight is not connected with battery, so dims when you slow the accelerator. Horn is too feeble for many people to hear it. (That is because HH follows noise pollution rules, i read in user manual). SO i had to add an extra pulsar type horn (so that some deaf people could hear it)
My recommendation:
GO FOR IT. You WONT REGRET. I GUARANTEE you will feel PROUD.
SURENDRA BORANA(SUREN) on December 2, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Hello everyone,
My name is SUREN and I have THE HUNK for about one n half month.
Ya,I know its too early to write a comment,but im writing what I felt…
Now,i will come straight to the point-
I.POSITIVE POINTS
1.LEGENDARY LOOKS,I thin only Karizma ZMR can beat it ….(most of the guys think fz16 looks best,but I must tell u the fz16′s only best point is its tyres…thats all….).
U will feel it when everyone around you will praise n all.
2.MILEAGE ,47-55(highway),43-47(city) in normal conditions.
when racing she comes down to 35 kmpl.
3.TOP SPEED,In city roads(but somewhat open) I got it to 105kmph n on highway 122-123kmph.
I think HUNK can go further(actually dat highway thing was just after 6 days from when I bought the hunk,So I didnt drove her for long distance).
4.HANDLING,very good handling,as you know she is stable till 80kmph n vibrates a little above 80….but the vibration is mostly felt by d pillion rider…
It vibrates less than pulsar…but Apache rtr is best for handling matter(it doesnt vibrates till the end,means 125kmph).
5.World class Engine.It sports one of the best engines….
(even after you take the rpm to the RED area,it doesnt create problems.)
6.GREAT To do WHEELIE.It has a great power,So you can do anything which you want to do.Its just You who can make it happen….I hav done almost 90 degree WHEELIE(1st i thought the long rear guard will create a problem but it doesnt)…
and for d record I learned WHEELIE on hunk only(in 1month)…
For the STOPIE,I wish I have to wait till hunk gets a bit older(about 3-4months).
7.WELL DESIGNED,for pillion rider….
8.SAFE…in the sense that For a heighted man(my height 6.2),its easy to jump off the bike If it slides in less speed…n plus dont worry about the bike …the black steel guard takes care of it….there is no way d big tank part gets hurt(only when you r hit sideways)….
9.ITS HERO HONDA,last but not least She is from HERO HONDA,I dnt think I have to explain that…..
II NEGATIVES-
1.VIBRATES AT 80 KMPH…..In my eyes this is the only big negative point…
2.Tyres r not big like fz16…(but dat doesnt count).
3.Rear tyre dont hav disc brake like apache(but we dont need it).
4.Horn is not good enough(you can install a new one).
5.Light intensity is controlled by throttle(it dims a low rpms)….(use dipper when you need high light intensity,it is connected to battery n you can even use when d bike is sleeping)..
6.NO DIGITAL METERS……(who cares,we were brought up seeing d legendary analog meters…..You get a feeling when the speedometer niddle rises….You cannt get that feeling from numbersss)….
FINALLY,ITS A GREAT BIKE ………
IT IS THE BEST BIKE IN 150 RANGE…….(above 150cc ZMR is)…
lIKE Satyajit Das told U WILL FEEL PROUD(nice line Satyajit)……….
(please forgive me for any mistakes,this is my 1st review)
THANKS………….
Satyajit Das on December 2, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Thanks Surendra, the bike ROCKS!
Saikat Chaudhuri on December 17, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Its an amazing machine guys I own it for about 2 months now & I just Love it Its really nice once uu hop on n go out for a cruze, The only drawback is……..IT DOESN’T HAVE ANY!!!!!! have fun biking guys. n b safe.
sanju on December 28, 2009 at 3:17 pm
it has cool looks it is better than pulsar, apache, cbz,stunner,gs 150r, fazzer r15, fz, fzs. its good for mileage and has a good performance it is very smooth.
Anandha saravanan on January 13, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Hai guys…HUNK is really a superb bike in my view.i’m loving to have it..its really cool and feel good .i like its throttle performance and wings ..its very suitable for guys of 18 to 25 like me
.
Pros:
*its from HH india’s best motor cycle manufacturers.
*very good performance and acceptable mileage(48-55kmpl).
*good GRS(gas reservoir suspension) technology.
Cons:
*as my frens told in past posting it shakes little after hitting 80kmph speed.
*Horn sound(its little tough while riding in city traffic becoz many deafs r there)
Finally NO ONE CAN MESSES WITH IT …HUNK !!!!!

I did love the reviews, but still im confused which one to chose. I am married and daily i have to travel 20 / 25 Km between Office and Home..And i dont have any other mode of transport other than this new bike i am planning to take.
The Decision is purely based on >>
- Sporty Look
- Good Milege / Performance
- Good Pick up
- Better Handling
- Whose ‘ Racing ‘ is its middle name
- Good After sales servicing
- No problem in Spare parts availability…….
.. My Options are : HH HUNK / APACHE RTR / GS150R / Honda Dazzler…..
Avi on June 17, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Hello everyone,
I am seriously considering Hero Honda Hunk and the Suzuki GS150R. The lack of Suzuki service centers really worries me. The rusting of fuel tank and the high pillion rider position are the other two things bothering me.
Is the Hero Honda Hunk better when compared to these problems in the Suzuki GS150R ?
Thank you,
Avi
chintan on July 3, 2010 at 3:36 pm
hello everyone. i wanna buy a new Hero Honda CD 100 or Bajaj Boxer AT or TVS Max 100. which one is better? but i feel this bikes r very costly and out of my budget. wt do i do?
abheejeet on July 7, 2010 at 9:08 pm
hi
guys
I proudly own a sliver hunk for the past 6 months
this bike is a real raging bull – in looks as well as on road
guys n girls on other bikes just stare at it and keep staring
the looks are magnificient
stability excellent- dosent vibrate at all even at 95-100
In pick up also its the best, be it pulsar, FZ or Suzuki GS 150 all are left behind once it takes —–a take off from signal
it just goes like a bullet
no other bike in this segment can match its looks or pick up.
the cons are
high pillion rider seat
and very poor average max 30 kmpl and I am not getting beyond that even after 3 services
but if average is not a concern for you — GO FOR IT BOSS AND RIDE THIS BULL
nitin saxena on July 16, 2010 at 10:44 am
hello guys…..let me share my experience with u all…i have hh hunk…its above all in its segment.its gives a superb performance and indeed no rival exits..
