Hi guys here I am updating my review
Hey ,guys here I wanna make one thing clear.Its a long discussion that which bike is best.but I wanna say something about CBZ .I have Black rocket err CBZzzzzzzz from last 16 months & I just crossed 22000 kms.
Style : This one is the most beautifull bike in India which I have ever seen.The curves & its front look is just mindblowing.Feiro looks pony & yamaha RX135 looks sluggish in front of this beauty.
Every one knows that in Style & in Beauty no other bike comes even closer to it.I will give full point to it in style.
Performance : CBZ delivers mindblowing performance,whether its Pick up or top speed.
While racing ,i drive it to the limits.In 2nd gear I take it upto 55kmph , in 3rd upto 75,in 4th upto 95+ & only after that I apply 5th gear(I guess in 5th gear I can touch 120+ but till now I have never done that mine is 115).Cool !!! isn't it?.well it don't matter what is ur speed in city driving, just step down one gear & WROOOOM.......!,While overtaking it helps a lot, thanks to TPFC.I have touched the speed of 110kmph many times.But my highest was 115kmph which was just amazing(while driving on Delhi-Pannipat highway near Bahalgarh).I am very fond of it's sound thatsss VROOMMMmmmmm (yeah)
Economy : Mine gives mileage between 40-46kmpl which depends on driving habbit .but my best was 52(while driving smoothly between 45 & 55on highways) & worst was 38((in city while driving it to the limits before every gear change,i usually takes the RPM up to 8x1000 or sometime even up to 10x1000)).Its a great bike ,except regular service I haven't spent a penny on it (but in case of accident u have to spend a lots of money,i had two accidents till now & every time I have to spend 4000+ to get it back in shape)So pares are costly(But engine is great,never leaks like energy or caliber & never demands a penny).Hey I wanna point out one more thing that unlike yamaha it has too many plastic parts(except petrol tank every thing else is of plastic).but thats OK cause every bike is like that (Feiro , caliber , energy etc)but only yamaha have metallic parts.
Power : It has 156.8cc engine which delivers 12.8 BHP.Its almost 1 bhp more than Feiro(147cc engine which delivers 11.7 bhp) & YBX (123.6cc engine which delivers 10.9 BHP).
CBZ can touch 0-60 in 5 secs.Great isn't it?.well I am very fond of it..???Is Feiro a better bike??? I can't say exactly(cause I have never raced with Feiro yet) whether it can beat feiro in 0- 60kmph sprint, but I am damn sure it can beat it in 0 - 100 sprint cause I can challenge its the fastest bike in 0-100 race.My cousin has RX100(95 model) which is really a little bit faster(makes a difference of about 8-10m in 0-80kmph,but after this the difference starts decreaseing & at about 100 kmph I useually overtook him) but in top speed RX100 can touch only 105 so I CBZ can easily beat Rx100 on highways.But then look on the brighter side,his RX100 gives mileage of 25kmpl but mine gives mileage of 40kmpl.i have raced with RX100 many times(more then 50 times) on highways & thats why I can say CBZ is compareable(or maybe better) to RX100.In double it can touch 106+,but while alone(solo) it can do wonders.Well just as RX100 was yamaha's Demon ,So is the CBZ Honda's Demon.({[ I am totally a bike freak.I want to know whether I can beat feiro & rx135(5 speed).So I will like to ask all u guys who own those bikes (feiro & rx135) for a race.If u live in Delhi & wanna race with me.then u can mail me at helloworld2009@yahoo.com)}].
Stabilty : The bike very Solid & very Stable. Stability is wonderfull.even at 110kmph u feel like u are driving at 70 its becuase it weight is more. Once I was riding in night at a speed of 80+,the street lights were gone maybe due to electricity cut in thats area,Suddenly there was a speed braker at about just 4meter ahead of me I tried to brake but because of the fear of slipping down I let it go & jump over it & believe me guys I crossed it & there was almost no jumping of bike.i was amased , may be this was because of more weight or good shock absorber but the thing is that CBZ is very stable .because of its more weight CBZ is very stable in cross wind.
Comfort : This is the biggest plus point of it.The handling it just too good,u can lean as much as u like while driving .Thanks to its widest rear tyres.Even in bone chilling cold of december the engine starts in first kick by applying choke(!!!Now the bad thing!!!!1, even in April u have to pull choke lever to start it in morning.In just one kick engine comes to life.With out choke its hard to start it). yeah! the engine vibrate at higher rpm but thats OK,i guess every bike vibrates at that much rpm .The shockers are best.U feel like u are riding a bullet instead..Braking is excellent.within a fraction of sec the bike comes to a halt(apply both brake).After driving it other bikes feel sluggish & pony.One of my friend has caliber .I was driving his & he was mine.The pick up of caliber was like of moped in front of CBZ & the foot rest was in frontside like eliminator.anyway some how I managed to drive it & when we returned ,he complaint me of the same uneasyness in CBZ .So I guess it will take some time to getting used to it.So if u are not driving CBZ from long u can't feel the power of this mean machine.Thats why guys who own other bikes & somehow got a chance to drive CBZ complains about gear lever(only front toe operated),footrest position(its just like as in racing bikes) ,seating position etc.But the over all its too comfortable bike.anyone can ride it all day.Yeah it too heavy to drag on foot.but why should we drag when we have Solid Engine(hahaha)
Anyway I guess its the best bike avaliable in India.After driving it all other bikes feel like just junk.Till now it never let me down.i will give it full point.I wish if I can race with Feiro & RX135(5 gears)where we all can know about the potentials of these power bike .So don't forget to mail me .I am ready for Race.How can I say about eliminator,pulsar ,feiro & rx135 without testing them.All u guys are welcome & if u want, mail me.i will be glad to hear from u.
