Hero Honda CBZ X-Treme
RN: That two-wheeled thing? 100 bhp to the tonne? Kid me not!
JC: Motorcycles that accelerate to 60 kph in less than 5.3 secs pretty much cut the 100bhp/tonne mark. That means almost all premium class Indian motorcycles. Honda have always been pushing to achieve the 100 bhp/tonne and the CBZ X-Treme was closest with 102.1 bhp/tonne, and it’s one of those motorcycles with an edge on performance.
RN: Oh, so you think you can beat me with that?
JC: Obviously not. And it’s not because I can’t, it’s because Newton and his theories won’t let me. Accelerating quicker is definitely more fun, but not when you can’t feel the wind push your helmet against your cheeks and send your nerve endings into a tizzy. And that’s exactly how the CBZX feels. And how exciting it can be if you are thrust from here to oblivion in a nanosecond in your armchair.
RN: Ha, mine’s bigger and fits all the chicks in.
JC: But does yours have rear airbags? No. Because you only get them on bikes. Have you read Sigmund Freud?
