Honda CBF Stunner 125cc

Honda Stunner 2011 - Changes 







Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd has recently launched the latest version of their existing product - the Honda CBF Stunner. New Honda CBF Stunner does not go under any engine change as it has treated with simple colour and graphic changes.

The New Honda CBF Stunner is newly offered with 2 new colours and graphics on the motorcycle including additional Candy Palm Green and Black. The Honda CBF Stunner is priced at Rs 58509 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) for the top variant.

Start down Style Boulevard. Get to the New Graphics (down Headturn Avenue).

Take a turn for the Newly Designed Under Cowl (watch out for Immediate Attention – it has a looming presence).Keep a lookout for the Sharp Rear (it’s the most happening place in the city nowadays, all the hot chicks are there). Go down Performance Avenue. For a mind-blowing drive, take the Honda’s 125 cc Engine with 11 bhp 5 Speed Transmission (renowned the world over).

Keep going straight down with the Wider Tubeless Tyres (A landmark is the The Black Alloy Wheels – impossible to miss)

Stop at the Disc Brakes.

Take a roundabout from The Sporty Half Chain Case (leaves your head spinning really) and take the Handle Bar Weights (it’s a stable ride despite the challenging roads). Get to the newly constructed Tachometer (it’s a superb vantage point, you can see close to everything from here).

Honda CBF Stunner






The bike is said to be sporty, stylish and powerful. Bike has 5 speed trasmission and it gives 11bhp being a 125 cc bike and company says that its almost equal to 150 cc bikes sold be competitors. Well, not really, now a days almost all 125 cc bikes delivers power around 11bhp. It is said that it will go 60 kmph in 5.2 seconds.

Well, most talkative thing of the bike is its styling. First thing you will notice its extended extra large cowl. Seriously, that is the only thing you will remember about the bike. The other things you will note will its split seats. That is something other chosed not to introduce in Indian market in small bike but Honda decided to put it on.

The two panel rear sharp cowl is not that much sharp and noticeable to a extent. The rider's position is sporty and you can judge from the foot step holders. Headlight looks something as I have seen already, well not much refreshing yet good looking.


So all this fuzz-buzz for small 125cc bike which delivers just about alright power. Anyways, the bike comes with tubeless tyres with 17" black alloy wheels. 240 mm front disc brakes and light weight vehicle.



Was thinking that if Yamaha can work on bikes inspired from R1 then why not Honda but this is not really thing which was expected from Yamaha, clearly, not the the specification, neither the styling can satisfy any rider even in small engine category. Though I have not yet ridden the bike but I do not have much delight to ride it either.









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 250cc 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. We Indians give so much importance to looks and Honda has identified it right.

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!






The engine’s performance has nothing to do with being really sporty. If you want a good looking bike without compromising the mileage, this bike is for you. The handling is impressive. You can turn the bikes with the slightest force because there is no dead weight of the dash board and headlamps in clinging to the handle bar. The tires are pretty thick and the brakes are excellent. Even when you squeeze just the front brakes, the bike does not lose its balance, Honda has done a good job of weight distribution.

If you are crazy about the digital speedometer thing, I am sorry, CBF Stunner will disappoint you with complete analog dashboard as shown below…The left dial has the speedometer, ODO meter and the trip meter while the right dial incorporates the fuel indicator. On the center it has a high beam indicator and single signal indicator for both the left and right signals.


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.

Pros: Styling, Pickup, Brakes

Cons: Small engine for a big bike
