Honda CBF Stunner

Hi, I am owning this bike from last 15+ years and its been continuously riding. Its mileage is somewhat okay but it gets hot so fast. Along with this its spare parts are not available in my city. It maximum speed now, after 15 years, is 70-80 Kmph. I would overall rate 7/10 according to that era because its looks are like a sports bike. Honda is on top.

About the Reviewer

Originally, I owned a Yezdi 250 D classic from 1983.
Honda stunner owner Wilbur Kinny. This bike came into my hands in 2021. I service my bike myself.
Since then have made 02 trips to Goa, 01 to Puttur, Karnataka, and last long trip to Aurangabad/ Sambhaji Nagar on the Stunner, superb mileage stability and road grip even at high speed, max take it to 85-90.
Same original body parts to date.
In search of body parts now, don't want to replace with Duplicate body parts
Looking for an original even it's used.
Passing of the bike in RTO office Andheri West was completed last year.
Sad it's discontinued

About the Reviewer

1. Nothing special with buying. All went as usual.

2. Well, its a very good riding companion as it can be used in all the way.

3. Gives a stylish look with a sporty touch. The sporty style attracts it to youth and the performance pulls seniors.

4.Service by honda is very disappointing. It needs only less maintenance of external parts but not with internals like cables, oil leaks etc

5. Pros

- gives good pull even though it is 125cc.

- sporty look

- best for rough use

- don't know why honda discontinued this

con's

- very poor service given by honda

- frequent complaints in accelerator cables

These were the main things i found. Think it benefits

I bought this bike on 2015, at that time it was the most expensive 125cc bike available in our country (India). I bought this because i wanted a refine engine that can commute in city with ease and can do occasional highway rides , riding wise its siting position is not very upright and not too sporty its very comfortable to ride in cities , the initial power is amazing in this bike in the first gear you will feel that you are riding a 150cc bike, about the looks its seems like the smaller version of karizma r(2012) . I specially bought this bike due to its full faring . Now, talking about the performance it has 5-speed mesh gear box, its top speed is about 93km/hr, the bike gets buzzy after 6000 rpm between 60-70km/hr the engine vibrates a lot but once you cross 70km/hr the engine again comes to its refinement. The maintenance of this bike is very cheap like 700-1000 inr for normal check up and servicing.

Now talking about the pros and cons of this bike - cons of this bike are it vibrates a lot after certain rpm, the 5th gear is of no use, you have to make gear change constantly in traffic and that's irritating. Not suitable for highways, fuel efficiency reduces drastically after crossing 70km/hr, its like 35-40km/l, pillion seat is not that comfortable.

Now talking about the pros of this bike - engine is super refine at lower speed, you will get a feel of bigger bike, doing 0-60 in this bike is fun, good fuel economy, handling is butter smooth. I specially used it for touring , i did 500kms in a day and the bike has never given me any problems , the engine is air cooled and it dosen't heat up that much , there is only one problem you will get very less fuel economy if you ride at higher rpms
