Watch: Iconic Hero Honda CBZ Restored To Its Former Glory

It was the bike that started the performance commuter culture in India

If you are a millennial or older, you would remember the Hero Honda CBZ as the bike that revolutionised the country, and perhaps even owned it. But if you are someone younger like me, you would remember the CBZ as the cool bike on which your father would take you on long rides.

Reminding us of the days past is a new video circulating on the internet showing the original Hero Honda CBZ being restored to its former glory.

Assam-based Repair & Restoration Store took it upon itself to restore a beaten down Hero Honda CBZ, and the final product looks like a dream. Watch the full video below.

In the video, you can see that the bike is in a bad condition and is stripped down completely, followed by an intense process of cleaning and repairing the engine and internals of the bike. The bike also gets a fresh new paint and old-school Hero Honda and CBZ graphics. 

The Hero Honda CBZ was first launched in India in 1999, powered by a 156.8cc engine, and it shook things up for the sporty commuter bike segment in the country.
