I got this bike around 3 years ago and still it does not require any special care or maintanence. This is the Heros Best bike ever. It gives excellent mileage with minimum charges. Fuel and oil consumption is affordable. Only routine service is required. It comes with lowest price at ex-showroom. Selling market is awesome for this superb bike. You can sell it after use at very high price anytime anywhere without getting late. Although some minor problems cant be ignored.such as Noise making while in first gear, slips when apply brakes in rough roads. Overall its a suberb product of Hero.
