Hotter Muscles!!
Sunday, March 01, 2009“Hunk” appears to be a decent looking motorcycle with its small fairing and has tank shrouds. The tank shrouds are big and Hunk’s tank has good knee recess. Similar to some popular international bikes, Hunk’s telescopic fork is golden in colour. This nicely gels with the 5 spoke black alloy wheels. The gas holder of the rear suspension is also golden.
Hero Honda’s hunk embraces the contemporary black theme - the handlebar weight, alloy wheels, silencer guard and the grab rail of the new Hunk are painted black. Suspension is through telescopic fork at the front and the rear suspension is a 5 step adjustable gas charged one. Hero Honda has now come with a new limited edition variant of Hunk. According to the bike maker, this new Hunk limited edition is to commemorate its 25 golden years in Indian automotive Industry.
Following are new and additional features in New Hunk special edition:
- Red front and rear alloy wheels.
- Dual tone seat with red colour driver's seat
- GRS - gas reservoir suspension
- Telescopic forks gets sports red finish
- Red theme is carried to spark plug cap and cylinder head as well
- Racing bull insignia on fuel tank
- A special edtion badge on the scoops
Other features are same like before. Like Super Splendour the Hunk also features tripod instrumentation. Fuel gauge, speedometer and rpm meter are analogue.
Contemporary pilot lamps and LED tail lamps fails to find a place in the Hero Honda’s new Hunk. Hunk’s battery is the same 12V-7Ah and the ignition is through AMI (Advanced Microprocessor Ignition). Hunk’s engine is same as the X-Treme’s 4 stroke 150cc engine. It develops 14bhp at 8500rpm of power and 12.8Nm of Torque. Hunk’s 150cc engine is mated with a conventional 5speed gearbox.
Similar to the TVS CVTi engine the Hunk’s 150cc engine produces tumble induction for efficient burning which means more efficiency. Hero Honda has launched Hunk at a starting price of Rs 55,000 (at ex-showroom Delhi as on 17th Oct,2007).
