The Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme has little in common with its earlier version the Hero Honda CBZ except a similar headlamp. With the Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme, Hero Honda has tried a radical departure from its earlier 150 cc design themes. The success of this approach is proven by the fact that since its launch in 2006, the Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme has been selling almost 15, 000 to 20, 000 units per month, and crossed the 50, 000 mark within April 2007. This large, handsome, and good-looking bike has more to it than meets the eye.
