The CBZ bike was manufactured by Hero Honda, a prominent joint venture that once dominated the Indian motorcycle industry.
The CBZ model gained significant popularity in India for its sporty design and performance-oriented features, distinguishing it from other commuter bikes of its time. It became a flagship model, showcasing the capabilities of the Hero Honda partnership. Over its production run, several variants were introduced, including the notable CBZ Gold.
Hero Honda, a collaboration between India's Hero Group and Japan's Honda Motor Company, operated from 1984 until 2011. During this period, it became one of the largest two-wheeler manufacturers globally. The partnership was instrumental in bringing reliable and fuel-efficient motorcycles to the Indian market. Following the dissolution of the joint venture, Hero MotoCorp (Hero Group's independent entity) and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (Honda's independent entity) began operating independently.
The CBZ Gold, a specific variant of this model, was eventually discontinued by Hero Honda and is no longer in production. While new CBZ bikes are not available, enthusiasts and buyers interested in the model can sometimes find information or used models on automotive portals like Bikewale.
