About Performance of Hero Hunk 150
Suspension of hunk is very poor, so from my side I wish to suggest to hero moto corp to improve its suspension quality. It has very good look , its look like fully sport bike but as it look , its don't have that much of suspension. Also it has low mileage at high speed on highways.
Best Features: LEDs, look.
Pros: I like its look.
Cons: Its suspension is very bad, its of low quality
Best Choice of My Life
I bought Hunk because of its price and mileage. Mileage was one of the most important factor for me before buying any bike. Along with this quality, Hunk also has smooth engine with adequate power in its segment and its detailed design make it stand in a crowd. In the terms of weight, it is not heavy to handle, I never face any problem in heavy traffic. Initially, it might give you poor performance but wait for 3000km you will see change yourself.
Best Features: Ease of Use and Mileage
Pros: Muscular Looks, Handling, Smooth Engine and its Performance.
Cons: No kick, Lack of enough storage
My Stylish Dream Bike
It is a stylish bike which is perfectly decorated with an attractive graphics. It has a fuel tank of 12.4 litres along with 2.2 litres reserve capacity which ensures better fuel economy. The seating position is comfortable and has good knee support. The alloy grab rail at rear is also present in which 2 adults can travel without any issue in both city and highway roads. It offers good acceleration and pickup i.e. it can accelerate from 0-60 kmph in just 5.08 seconds. Coming to the downside, It weighs at 147 kg which is quite bulky. Sometimes at a higher speed it produces vibrations. There is no engine kill switch in the bike. The tyres are not so wide which is also a negative point of this bike.
Best Features: Good Acceleration & Smooth Engine
Pros: Muscular looks, smooth engine, handling, good acceleration, pickup
Cons: No engine kill switch, Inadequate storage space, heavy
