The Hunk is an absolute doodle to ride in the chaotic Pune traffic, being extremely maneuverable and at the same time having more than enough grunt for quick sprints around town. The gas filled shocks take care of most of the ruts and bumps offering a pliant and comfortable ride while not compromising on the handling one bit. Infact I was so in love with the handling that I decided to do a Pune-Mumbai ride to exploit the bikes amazing characteristics. And what a blast it was. The refined engine felt absolutely smooth even when ridden towards it redline on the open highways. Even the twisties were dispatched with absolute ease with the Hunk proving its worthy credentials. The braking too was spot on with more than adequate bite from the disc upfront providing oodles of confidence during high speed blasts.
All has not been 'Hunky-Dory' though with a few flaws surfacing with time. The headlight beam is barely adequate around town and becomes worse on highways. A more powerful bulb should fix that problem though. The gearbox at times feels clunky and quick shifts require quite a bit of effort. The chain too requires constant attention since it becomes loose pretty quickly. Mileage borders around 40 kmpl which is on the lower side for a 150 cc bike. Other than these minor niggles the Hunk's going about its duty mighty fine. The bike has logged 3290 km since its arrival in the Zigwheels garage and I am looking forward to put many more kilometers on its odo.
