Hero Honda CBZ can be called one of the bikes which is making us move into the old era of higher cc bikes.After a long time a street bike of cc in order of 150 cae has a smiled surprise for lot many customers.
The first thing that catches on to the bike is its hunky and attractive sports bike design. The tinted fairing nicesly moulds with the rest of it giving it a sporty look.The instrument cluster can also be called that of a very good make n design.The large tank curves into a bended seating which gives some stance while sitting on the bike.
The near tail ends into a narrow brake light display and two detcahed indicators.
The tinted silencer and the heat shield come handy both in use and in looks too.Good throttle response has u tumbled to the bike and this makes the rider love when riding it.
Rear seating is not that satisfactory as it tends to slope into a wide angle and te pillion rider needs to grip a lot during fast skips.Milage is not the one to be looked for these kind of bikes but anyway for longer runs it returns a fair 40 to 50 km per litre of petrol.
Transmission is smooth and the lever is arranged in internationally acclaimed 1 down and 4 up format.The 5 speed is a step ahead out of the bikes just having 4 speed which helps in speed and comfort too.CBZ with disc brakes becomes a boon when you tend to go for high speed spikes and want to stop then and there.
The bike is altogether a sports kit with power, torque and obviously speed. It appeals more to the teen segment and much lesser to the middle aged people and it defenitely cannot suit a family out look.
