I have bought this bike in Feb-13, On the first day I like the seating of the bike, hands are paining due to the handle position but I feel comfortable after 2 to 3 days. To first service I ride bike below 50km/hr with very much care. After first service I started riding bike with higher speeds I felt uncomfortable in road griping, braking but pick up is good. I felt that I am riding a BULLDOZER sometimes...........its really HEAVY.
I went a long drive for more than 100km on a weekend I noticed some different noise coming from engine over 70km/hr speed. I have to try 100km/hr. on long drives due to seat width which I felt comfortable but Handle is not comfortable for long drives, hands are paining. Mileage is around 48km/ltr.
When I am in college 2003 I used to ride CBZ star in which I felt great comfortable in handling, braking and pick up. In city, pick up is great, changing of gears is very smooth. During those days in every month we used to go long rides upto 300km, it felt like chasing the roads No hand pains, No losing control over bike, no mess ups.
Those rides are Pleasure ones. Later I used went to drive cars. Now 2013 new Xtreme is UNCOMFORTABLE. In city roads cuts is not possible with this bike, gear shifting is not good.Front suspension is not good. I thought bike is king size but ground clearance is less. When I sit on back seat of Xtreme I felt seat cushioning is not good and also back suspension was not good.
When I went to hometown I drive brother's bike 'Unicorn" which is comfortable in handling, braking, gear shifting and suspension. There I also had chance to drive Royal Enfield, I had used 350CC for the whole day I felt comfortable in road griping, gear shifts and braking.
I also felt Bike is heavy. On the Other day I used JAVA YEZDI for one week, double Silencer....wow what a silencer beat, Handle is very much comfort, Pick up is good, road grip is very good, but starting of the YEZDI, gear shifting is very much Hard. At last one thing I want to say Hero has to modify its CBZ Xtreme or else it has to bring back old CBZ on roads.....:).
