This is a Xtreme letdown from Hero Honda

Hi Vikram,
This is a Xtreme letdown from Hero Honda. Not at all what everyone was expecting. The Pulsar DTSFi is years ahead from the CBZ Xtreme. Even the Unicorn is far much better looking than this mix-n-match package. Atleast the Unicorn had a rear monoshock & tuff up tube tyres which no Indian bike have till date. Apache won a string of awards when it was launched and was diffrent indeed. Nothing new from HH with this new offering. All we can do now is to wait and watch for the remaining offering from Hero Honda, Bajaj and Honda (HMSI). I would prefer to wait and watch for a few more months. My ideal bike would be the one with following basic features:
Atleast 250cc, 2 cylinder, V-Twin preferable.
Water cooled or atleast an oil cooler.
CV carbs / fuel injection.
Monoshock rear suspension.
Inverted fork front suspension.
Disk barkes on front & rear.
Magnesuim Alloy wheels(The real thing).
Light weight tubeless tyres.
LED tail light & indicators.
Wonder why no manufacturer wants to come out with such features. All we can do is hope for the best. As of now the Pulsar DTSFi or the Apache is the best option for those who are in a hurry to purchase a new set of wheels.
