Hero Honda Hunk

Beginning last Monday, speculation had been rife on Indian auto forums about an imminent release from Hero Honda to be called Hunk. It was conjectured that it would feature twin headlights & could go up to 250 c.c., which in turn gave rise to speculation that it could be a twin cylinder engine.

Well, the release has taken place today & as these pics from Rearset's blog prove, it has none of the above. Powered by a conventional 150 c.c. engine, it has gas shockers at the rear (a 1st on a Hero Honda). It goes against the grain though in not offering a digital console or L.E.D. tail lamps. Which I think is sad.

Because the looks are smashing! After a long, long time we get a Hero Honda with a modicum of visual appeal. HH needed to come out with something like this. Bajaj & TVS were running away with the 150 c.c. & above market.
