Honda CBF Stunner: Hero of 125cc


Honda's Third hit in the Motor bikes was the CBF Stunner. Due to the increased sale in the 125cc segment of bikes, there was a stiff competition among the Manufacturers. Bajaj leader in sales with its Discover 125. But when the competition from Yamaha's Gladiator, Honda Shine, TVS Flame and Suzuki's Zeus grew , bajaj took necessary steps to upgrade its XCD and Discover.

Bajaj announced the XCD Sprint, aggressive version for sports and Honda introduced the CBF concept into the 125 segments.

It created a great expectation among Bike enthusiasts. Finally, when the bike released styles and looks were abnormally satisfied but the Engine performance not as good as Shine.

Specifications:
  1. Displacement: 124.7cc
  2. Engine Type: 4-Stroke, SOHC
  3. Output Power: 11bhp@8000rpm
  4. Engine Torque: 11nm@6500rpm
  5. Tank Capacity: 10Ltrs
  6. Weight: 129kgs
  7. Top Speed: 102kmph
Pros:
  1. Good Looks and styling
  2. Good pickup
  3. Nice choice for youth
Cons:
  1. Poor Engine performance
  2. Poor mileage (45kmpl on city)
  3. Not as smooth as Shine above 80kmph as Shine
Inspite of its drawbacks, the syling plays a major role and covers all the negatives of the bike.

The Bike is definitely an Hero of 125cc bikes because of its Styling.

Cheers!!!
