This is my 2nd review after 20 days from I bought CBZ XTREME, I am very upset to write this review after the first one in which I expressed my happiness of buying a new CBZ by writing "Again a Good Deal from HH"
In just 20 Days of my experience with bike I found that HH has lost its quality in making bikes or they might have become overconfident being No. 1 Motorcycle Manufacturer and seller in INDIA.
Listing down some point that I have noticed on my CBZ XTREME just after buying it.
- The biggest problem is with the Rear shockers. Bike maake noise as it would after 2 yrs of bad maintenance. I know this point is being raised by so many other guys and just after posting the Review some HH representative Comments on the Post by comparing the suspension of CBZ with the one installed on HUNK.
(Mr. HH Representative, Tell me in plain words, why HH did not installed the suspension the one which is of today’s standard. Tell me one brand who is putting these outdated shockers on their premium bikes. Even HH is doing so on HUNK so why not on CBZ. Don’t say that its same as GRS on HUNK. I rode both of the bikes and CBZ Shockers gets knocked when even a small bump comes on the road and that too without a pillion rider.)
Can you guys go and check at some HH workshop for the price of both types the PAIRS of shockers. You will come to know the difference.
Either HH is making fool of the people buying HUNK or they are just cashing the brand value of CBZ by selling it for some 1500 extra bucks than the price of HUNK and giving nothing in return. Just a pair of Stickers on the petrol tank (That too of bad quality.
CBZ sticker on Petrol Tank is not even Sticked properly and seems it can be peeled off if some M F tries to do so. Also the stickers on the side panels have some bubbles from the moment the protective cover was removed by the guy at the showroom. I mentioned this to him and he said its normal and cant do anything.
Front Brakes Noise from the day one. When I mentioned this to the guy who prepared the bike for me when I bought the bike he responded by saying that this may be because of Dirt or Moist weather. Guys I had been a ider of almost 8-10 different bikes even Passion and Karizma being some of them. And I never found such a problem in Disc Brakes.
Seating for pillion Rider is not at all comfortable. I tried it several times when my friend was driving the bike and I found it not sufficient for a guy having an average PAIR of BUTTS. The seat corners causes the A*S Ache very soon. Even the seat looks like patchy at the start) Near Petrol Tank. It seems that someone can pull it off by taking it from there.
Fitting of Side panels (Where ATFT is mentioned) is very bad as one can see what’s inside by peeking into it from the driver's seat.
After adjusting the Handle Bar, the rear view mirrors get very close to the Rider and make it difficult to see what’s behind.
Another biggest problem is with the side stand. One cannot operate it easily since the left Foot Rest comes in between the way when opening or closing the side stand. I got even my left leg injured by operating the Side Stand when the bike was new for me.
This is my personal experience with New CBZ XTREME-ATFT (I don’t know what ATFT does for the bike). If you guys want to go for a comfortable Ride and a well built Body do look for some options very closely so you don’t regret after buying some for you.
You guys may contact me at 9818406080 if you want to know my experience with the bike in some other aspects which I have not mentioned above.

-------The first Review-------
I just got me a CBZ just week before. I was heavily confused between CBZ XTREME and HUNK.Both are of same technology and engine specifications. Finally I moved for a clean and simple looks.I tried almost every bike in the segment and finally got convinced with CBZ and ultimately got one for me.
Trust goes with HH
Only two things made me sad are Rear Shock absorbers which are just an average pair of shockers. It could have been better to complete the bike. and the handle position which leads to discomfort after some 10-12 Kms. I am yet to try and adjust the position of handle which I expect will get the problem resolved. Still there is no other match of Xtreme.
Can someone tell me that is it possible to Replace the Rear shockers with a pair of Gas filled one?
Also the gear shifting seems a problem, may be for a first couole of thousands of KMs, but the traditional HH CBZ/ZMA type shifting pedal really sucks. its never been pleasure for me atleast.
If anyone can suggest that can the gear shift pedal be replaced to the one which all other bikes have.
Suggestions are most welcome and I would be greatfull to all of you guys providing me your valueable feedback upon these queries.
Thanks to all
