This might seem too meagre to actually notice, but the new PGM-FI The motor is fed with a fuel injection unit and although the displacement of 124.7cc has remained the same, the power and torque have improved a wee bit - an increase of 0.6 bhp and 0.02 kgm over the carbed Stunner add up to 11.6 bhp and 11.2 kgm respectively.
It's the engine that is this Stunner's claim to fame. But the new Stunner isn't just about colour or the look. The deep hues of the CBR red and metallic silver look resplendent on the Stunner, with the matte gold finish on the engine covers making the bike seem more like a smaller sibling of the Blade than just another hotted up commuter.
Although the lines and the sharp edges are the same, the brilliant use of colour makes it seem like something different altogether. The PGM-Fi is virtually the same old Stunner looks-wise, and yet it looks nothing like it. The 126cc Honda managed to hold its own and that was inevitable, with the CBF sharing the same kind of colours and stage presence as the behemoths standing beside it. Now, if you were thinking that the Stunner must have looked like a misfit with the other two, think again.
On stage, the CBF was flanked by the big Honda daddies themselves - the CBR1000RR Fireblade and the CB 1000R that were launched in Mumbai at the same shindig.
Ladies and gentlemen, lo and behold, the CBF Stunner PGM-FI, Honda's first small-capacity fuel-injected motorcycle in the country.
