HONDA CBF STUNNER 125


Honda's (HMSI) turn to surprise us with the launch the "CBF Sports Concept" (on August 6, 2008) which was first shown at the New Delhi Auto Expo 2008. Christened as the "CBF Stunner", it has been given the same look as the "CBF Sports Concept" albeit with a toned down paint scheme.

Often criticized previously for producing efficient but undesirable motorcycles, it looks like Honda has hit the nail on its head this time. Since its launch, I have seen quite a number of CBF Stunner plying on the roads of New Delhi and the NCR region

Looks:

The Stunner indeed manages to look stunning for a 125 cc motorcycle. With a "Karizma like" fixed half fairing, the CBF Stunner appears like a motorcycle from a bigger segment. The CBF Stunner also sports 17" tubeless tyres which is a first for the 125 cc segment. The CBF Stunner features Split Seats to further enhance the sporty image.

The Speedometer assembly is an all analog affair. Considering the sporty turnout of the motorcycle, the absence of a tachometer is felt here. An interesting feature is the position of the choke lever which is positioned "along with" the speedometer assembly. Personally I find the position of the choke a bit odd and outdated.

The CBF Stunner comes with three options of "Kick Start-Drum-Alloy", "Self Start-Drum-Alloy" and "Self Start-Disc-Alloy".


Engine, Power, Performance

The Engine of the CBF Stunner has the same specs as that of the 125 cc Shine. But the stunner does feature 5 gears compared to the 4 gears which the shine comes with.
