This is a fantastic bike, it terms of fuel consumption, milage and maintenance. I bought this bike in 2006 and you will not believe Ihave hardly spent on the maintanance on this bike.
Normally we should get a two wheeler serviced every 3 months but I used to give it for servicing once in 5-6 months but still its performance was never impacted.
I do not think that any other bike can replace Hero Honda Splendor in all aspect.
