The Hero Honda Hunk is a 150cc motorcycle launched by Hero Honda in October 2007. It is offered in two variants, kick start and self-start.[1] The new 2011 model is offered with either rear disc brake, or rear drum brake.
Comfort and handling
The Hunk has a stepped seat and rear-set foot pegs that give the rider a sporty stance without sacrificing rider comfort. The vibrations are well controlled.[2] The bike also features gas-charged adjustable rear shock absorbers and rear tire with a tuff-up tube with 100/90-18".
Performance and fuel economy
Awards
The Hunk has won the NDTV Profit Car India & Bike India Awards Viewers’ Choice Award in the bike category.[3][4]
Insignia
The Hunk features its own unique racing bull insignia on either side edges of the fuel tank. The bull insignia has worked well to communicate it as a macho bike that reaffirms the idea of manliness that is associated with rugged biking. The bull is featured on its shrouds.
