Hello All, I have my first bike gifted to me by my parents and it is a black colored Honda CBF Stunner. In the 125 cc to the 150 cc range it looks the best. I however, had tough time with the color choice. While it comes in red, yellow and grey, I went ahead with black.
I had limits on budget and did not want to spend anything beyond Rs. 60,000. So, no way I could think of the Yamaha R15, or Bajaj Pulsar 220 or even a Karizma. All I looked for was just about 150 cc bike with tubeless tyres and decent looks. Thankfully, Honda Stunner comes with more than decent front half fairing, stepped up seat and both front and rear with tubeless tyres.
Electronics: The Honda Stunner stuns us with a digital speedometer, a trip meter fuel guage, a neutral indicator, high-beam indicator, pass light, and turn signal indicator that will make driving a breeze. The choke comes with meter and the tool box is under the back seat. While digital meters appeal, I don’t find analog meters to be any less. They thrill with the pointer scaling up as the speed rising. Also on the Stunner you would see that these meters are placed distant from handlebars so they are visible even while driving.
Handling: When you will sit on the Honda Stunner bike you will feel that you are riding a 200 cc something bike. It starts easily with the clutch and gear shifting very smooth. However, as you speed beyond 95 kmph there is some noise and vibration although I know that 60 kmph is good enough in city limits. I would say that Stunner is easy to handle as much as a child can handle it (it’s big by looks not for handling).
Mileage: I honestly expected around 45 kmpl but amazingly Stunner bike gives around 55-60 kmpl in the city and I am not in a position to tell about highway mileage though.
Quality: As for any Honda bike, the reassurance from company is there.
My Final Say: If you are looking for a bike to commute to college and home with good looks, styling and mileage, then instead of blowing your money on bikes like Karizma or Bajaj Pulsar 220 or Yamaha R15 you can bet your money on a Honda CBF Stunner.

do stunner has a digital speedometer?????
I have the same question!!!
No stunner does not have a digital speedometer
This person don’t know whether Stunner is 125 or 150, don’t know whether it has digital speedo or analogue.
Come on yaar first learn bike and then review it.
no they dont i thought the same question when he talked bout digital meter but i checked stunner and it doesnt unless they jus put digital speed in a new model and i checked in dec 2008
Raj, I hope you are a happy man. And seriously do stunner comes with a digital meter???
My parents also gifted me a bike, they were saying to get a 125cc bike but I insisted to buy the APACHE RTR 160 refresh.
And trust me I love the looks and the feel of my bike.
By the way thanks to BIKEadvice.in for the reviews as without this site couldn’t have made my choice.
hey deepak
r u sure about the digital speedo info
No Stunner does not have digital instumentation. Basic analog display.
Actually Deepak you should check before posting someone else’s review for Errors and spelling mistakes etc.
Digital console in CBF Stunner is something thats impossible and HONDA will have to take another life(doosra janam?) to provide a Digital console on a 125cc bike. what say?
Bike is about good mechanicals and thoughful design, anolog or digital speedo doesn’t really matter. Stunner has fantastic styling and is targeted at college going fellas.
digital console in stunner he must be dreaming …..honda digital if its true then it should rain in chennai in this hot climate
Hi i am the writer of this post. I want to tell you that my real post has been edited by someone (may be deepak). And believe me , it has an analog meter . I also didn’t write the digital meter . And i properly know that it is a 125 cc bike and 11 horse power.
No it hasn’t .
But the analog speedometer is very good.
hi biker boyz! i saw some pictures of the new stunner fi 2009.. hmm it looks damm good ..only the tail has been modified .. anybody knows about it..and launched???
Could anyone talk about the torque ratios of this bike pls…
Do the tubeless tyres really play their role? I mean is its presence contribute to the end performance?
And what would be the maintenance of this bike…!
Raj or any,
If possible its opn road price in chennai pls?
And this bikeadvice.in really doing good. Thanks for all of ur inputs guys
hi.. many guys says that they re gettin a vibration if they cross 60km speed, is it true.. can anyone reply soon.. and also tell abt its performance..
Hi everybody here is the author of this review .
Answer to Udhaya: hey boy were you sleeping while reading this review, it is a 125CC bike so don’t talk about its performance. If you need performance and no vibration at high speed then at least you should purchase a 150 cc bike.
Answer to deeps: i have also seen the pictures of stunner fi . But i want to tell you that this bike is not for india it is launched out side india. There is no chance for fi version in india for a year. So if you want to buy , just take it.
Answer to rajiv; tube less tyres don’t effact riding. But they never have any puncher. I think the price should be around 55k to 60k in chennai. But not more than 60k .
thanks buddy!
is honda stunner 150 cc availabe in kolkata (india)
Hi fellas , m really lucky that I bought Honda Stunner (its abt 3 days ago). Its going smooth. But I don’t think that Karizma , Pulsar , etc , cud beat the heat with Stunner. Overall , the bike is awesome (wrt. Performance and Look) , I don’t think that Digital Speedometer really makes bikes look good. But what to do with them , we bought it for riding , not for any show-off. So, the guys who have obligation then they don’t buy the bike otherwise.
Hi Guyz,

1. Mileage 55-60
2. Zero Maintenance up to to 2 years ,
3. Cost Rs 60-70 thousand
4. Look sporty.

HI,
My self bikramjit sarma from assam /Bilasipara.
Honda CBF Stunner it looks like sport bike.
Ya, today I set on Honda CBF stunner. I am going to buy this “Crazy” very soon and I want to share my feelings with all of you after some days. This bike is really amazing, I’ll go for the red one. I am in Bangladesh, and I think my review will remind you what to do next with your stunner. Cheers guys.
hi alll readers, i hav read all the comments n i also say that honda stunner is very fine bike to ride or to buy especially for the sales person bcos they always wants a bike who can give milage as well as look n this bike is reallly shoots them…… wat u think Raj….about my comment….. this is all about bike n style not about speedometer……. so always hav fun with ur sweet n trailblazing bike……..
honda stunner is very stylish in 125cc segment but some upgrades need on it.
1.digital speedometer
2.engine sound is bad
3.pick up need to increase
4.short gear shifting
5.gas charged shockers
6.led tail lamps
7.tyre size need to increase to pull up speed easily
8.low mileage in 125cc.it has to increse.
i think the vibrations and sounds from its 5th gear,they add an additional gear in shine, but the engine is awesome
can u tell me what is the price of cbf stunner??
price is too high,66000 on road in banglore , u can get 150 cc horse unicorn for additional 5000
Hi All,
I am very confused between Stunner and Pulsar 150. As per above comments can someone clarify about the vibrating problem ? I am in hurry because I m planning to buy a bike next week…………….
I think it may vibrate after 70 kmph .. but in city and for rare highway travel stunner suits best..
I am in the idea of getting stunner as soon as possible..
and I kindly advice u all not to exceed 50 kmph often before first 3 servicing.. or before (first 1000 km ride).. so that the engine will get into form and will give u a better performance after that..
those who need digital speedometer don’t go for stunner..
and I feel digi or analog speedometer doesn’t matter..
bcoz no one gonna common see ur speedometer when ur holding an awesome outside structure.. its look ll compromise them by holding them away from the speedometer..
Hi Raj,
Its been almost 2 years for your Stunner. I would like know the current review from your side. This will really help all.
Pleae share your comments for below mentioned points.
1) Color Quality.
2) Mileage.
3) Maintenance.
4) Ride Quality.
Please share your views it will be helpful.
Regards
Jigar Gangar
To, Raj
And all other who are saying stunner have good mileage. Its Bullshit. I bought on e in January2011. Initially it was giving around 48-50 mileage. I thought later after some time it will increase after servicing. But to my despair. It didn’t changed. Even pick-up is similar to 100cc bike.
after4th servicing pick-up is just above avg. and mileage is down to 42kmpl.
So guys beware before buying it.
and can anybody tell me if i book complain, they will consider or not.
for suggestions to me or by me
tarunesh.08@gmail.com
Mr, tarunesh….may i know how much speed u r getting touch while riding……..then i will give u suggestion on milege dude…..
