Stunner CBF 125CC Review

As you all know that honda is a great company with great engine power and great fuel economy. I needed a new bike , but my father was not allowing to buy bikes of 150 or greater than 150cc bikes. So i was confused and got on the net to search for more bikes which were less than 150cc. All i got is those crap uncle type bikes which were splendour, passion, CD-Dawn etc. Then when i was just just surfing on tv i just heard that the NEw Stunner of 125cc was launched. I was amazed and quickly increased the volume but was disappointed when i heard the rate. I quickly saved 10k and said my dad to buy it. The very next day my dad nd i went to the showroom and booked a stunner.
After much riding the bike i have posted this review.

CBF Stunner’s Styling: Honda says that many people thought that it was a 180cc bike in the first look. And some thought it was a 220cc one. The bike is quite large for its engine size. The big flaring in front definitely adds a super cool status to the bike. Major part of the Stunner story is its looks. With alloy wheels, Karizma like head lamps, split seats, Honda has made it look like a sports bike for sure. Park the Unicorn and Stunner together and a baby can tell that it wants the Stunner.
CBF Stunner’s Performance: No one can tell that the CBF is the twin brother of Honda Shine, Unless they look into the specifications. I would say that the bike is better suited for city riding than highway cruising. With jump start pickups at lower speeds, the college guy will definitely look like a cool dude on this bike, compared to the guy who drives a Passion Plus, struggling to catch up with Stunner.

The bike gives out 11 bhp at 8000 rpm with its 124.7 cc engine. It does not give me enough pleasure at 80 kmph because the bike is not smooth enough compared to the higher cc counter parts. You would push the engine to the limits only when someone is chasing you, not otherwise!

Pricing :
The on-road price of Honda CBF Stunner ranges from Rs.54,000 to 60,000 in south India. You have options of having disc brakes and self start. The mileage claimed by users is 66 kmpl.

Comfort:
This bike is comfortable as it sees, trust me. Travel 10km or 50km you wouldn't feel the pain in your back as this bike is very comfortable for the teenage bikers.
This bike average speed which i rode is 110 kmph.

Bajaj Pulsar 180 UG4 Review

TECHNOLOGY:
DTS-i – Digital Twin Spark Ignition

Digital twin Spark Ignition is a revolution in the modern motorcycling era in the country today and we are the first to offer it to Consumers. This technology offers phenomenal performance augmentation and was introduced for the first time on the highly successful Pulsar twins. It is also being patented by Bajaj Auto Ltd.

For faster and better combustion. Currently one spark plug at one end of the combustion chamber is the conventional practice. The flame front created by the spark takes some time to reach the farthest portion of the combustion chamber. This leads to slower burning of the air-fuel mixture and creates limitations in optimizing the combustion chamber characteristics. Two spark plugs at either ends of the combustion chamber help in faster and better combustion This combustion process of Twin Spark Plugs is being patented by Bajaj Auto Ltd. (Digital Twin Spark Ignition).

Ignition with a Digital C.D.I.
A Digital C.D.I. with an 8 bit microprocessor chip handles the spark delivery. The programmed chip’s memory contains an Optimum ignition timing for any given engine rpm, thereby Obtaining the best performance characteristics from the combustion chamber. Working together with the Trics III system, it delivers optimum ignition timing for varying load conditions.

ExhausTEC
ExhausTEC is a device incorporated in exhaust system of ‘Pulsar DTS-i’ engine. ‘TEC’ stands for ‘Torque Expansion Chamber’. This world-first technology developed by Bajaj Auto improves the ‘scavenging’ process. The exhaust system has this revolutionary feature Incorporated, which drastically improves engine torque at low revs without compromising anything at mid or high engine revs. It has been extensively optimized to get the Maximum possible performance out of the engine. The silencer also has a characteristic tonal quality to it. It gives out a pleasant sounding low frequency ‘boom’ sound. While meeting the mandatory current noise norms, it gives the bike an identity, which is different from any other bike, so as to make it very unique.

STYLE
The style factor in New Bajaj Pulsar 180 comes from its bigger siblings Pulsar 200 and 220. It completely have borrowed its looks from the Pulsar 200 which now Bajaj has stopped production. If you have layed hands on the new Pulsar 180, you won’t feel the need for Pulsar 200 as it has everything the Pulsar 200 had and more. The plus point is that it has Clip On Handle Bars from Pulsar 220 which the Pulsar 200 did not possess. Also, power is close to Pulsar200 that comes around 17.02 PS. Only thing missing is the new Silver good looking Silencer, although I do not miss it too much as it still looks good with the Black one. The broad rear tyre and open rear chain on this bike looks really good. And if you want that people should give you a second look, this will happen to you when you go out on this bike. The rear of this bike looks better than the UG3 model as well. It has a higher end with its tail high up and with broad tyre gives a bulkier look. I wished it came with a rear disk brake but you cannot get everything in that price which bajaj is offering for this bike.

The time you sit on the bike, first thing that gains your attention is the speedometer of course. The digital meter with white dial looks awesome with analog RPM that is faster than UG3 model. The speedometer can log Speed, fuel, Kms travelled, Analog RPM (12000 RPM max and 9000 RPM redline), A to B point reading in Kms (Can save two readings at a same time), Low battery indicator, Side Stand Indicator, High Beam Indicator, Indicators (Self Cancelling after turn) and Neutral indicator.
Bajaj is very confident with there ignition system and has removed the old kick from the Bike. I haven’t heard anybody till date complain about starting problems even in Winters. There is a choke provided under the tank. You can simply pull it and start the bike in winters if you find it hard to start. Bajaj has changed the logo of Pulsar on the tank too. Previously it was a sticker job. It looked good though but, new logo come in steel and the font for the logo has changed too. It matches with grey colour but I can’t say it looks good on other colors as well as people have different opinions. Front Black forks from Pulsar 220 look better than UG3 Model. And the bigger disk brake not only looks good but is able to stop the bike from 0 – 60 Kmph in less than 14 Meters comparing the weight of the bike that is 147 Kg.

Performance
Bajaj has increased the power a little bit compared to previous version of the bike from 16.5 PS to 17.02 PS. This bike love wheelies as UG3 and you can easily do stoppies too. The bike has powerspread all over and it feels smooth at all the RPMs. You can pick the bike in the third gear from as low as 20 kmph without engine knock. I will not go around too much and will straight way come to the figures. The figures are not borrowed from any other medium and are my own. I have managed to reach the speedo indicated speed of 128 Kmph on the Ludhiana – Chandigarh Road. Although reaching and getting out the best top end from a bike depends on many things such as Air Friction, Air Pressure of tyres, Maintenance etc.

0 – 60 Kmph comes in around 4 Seconds

0 – 100 Kmph in around 13 Seconds

The thing I am impressed a lot is that you just get on the bike and rev it in any gear and you are able to overtake almost anything. After overtaking when you look at speedo, you will notice bike easily doing 70 – 80 kmph at ease. Now comes the vibration factor. I will mention it clearly. The UG4 is vibe less and is very much refined than the old pulsar.

Mileage :

Now comes the factor of mileage. Indian people will usually ask this question whenever you talk about the new launch of the vehicles. Be it a car or be it a bike. Or you can say Be it a bike or car that is even based on performance. Milage is very important to us too as petrol prices are going up these days a lot. It gives around 40 kmpl in the city. It can easily give around 50 – 55 kmpl on the highway.

Price:

Now comes an important part. It costs around Rs. 73000/- including paperwork. The showroom price for the bike without paperwork was 71300. I guess it costs less in PUNE. I have read over the Internet somewhere that it costs around Rs. 68000 in PUNE. So the price comes around Rs. 70000.
