Honda Stunner CBF Report: Now SOLD

[Akash]

Thanks cooldhaya. Like my cars, i wanted to customize even my bie but no options available.

About mileage, it easily delivers FE of 60kmpl, if driven rashly FE figures do drop but not below 50kmpl. Overall as i mentioned before this is a good bike for newbies who want style with lesser power(though this number is not much).

nice report akash and i've always loved that (3rd) pic of your bike when it was in inventory.when the stunter was launched it looked great to me and a mini-sports bike looks were attractive, though it looked thinner than other but when i saw it in real, found it to be much more bigger and bulgy than pics.

@Umang- Thanks buddy.

What is the stock tyre size? (both front and rear)

Here you go..

Front: 80/100 17
Rear: 100/90 17

 

[AMG]

Are you sure the rear is 100?

I have heard people(one of my friend) criticize the stunner, saying"Stunner has thin tyres, instead buy CBZ Xtreme"

Apparently both have the same tyre size

Yeah i am very sure. And a piece of advice if you go for Stunner, ask your dealer for MRF tires and not TVS tires.

I wont comment of your friends view, Stunner and CBZ belong to completely different segment.

I do agree with you.

But his sole criteria for rejecting the stunner was that it has thin tyres.

The tire profile of Stunner is adequate to provide excellent grip. And rest assured the tire profile posted are correct. Except for lack of power in the upper band, Stunner provides excellent ride pleasure.

Is the cornering as good as/better than the Gladiator?

The cornering is much better than the Gladiator, thanks to wider tires.
