The first and foremost thing to understand and make sure is what qualities you are
expecting from your dream bike. Preferences usually differs between persons. Some one look for
mileage while others look for features such as design, gears and their shifting position etc.
*It is better to take a note of your requirement clearly before you proceed further, so as
to focus only on essential things which you are interested to consider as per your
requirement. In fact, this is a good way to restrict your available choices.*
* I used to focus very much on the mileage in 150 cc segment with advancements in
design features such as sitting position, easy to shift gears, warranty and service centres
throughout the country and resale value.

compared it to any other bike as in Splendor+, Glamour, Passion and Ambition, even
though the sound difference is very minute .
3) Mileage:-
Hero Honda is famous for its mileage. Being the largest selling bikes in the world,
Hero Honda keeps on upgrading its quality and efficiency in each and every new model. In
case of Hero Honda Achiever it is giving the mileage above 50 kmpl in worst case, which is really
good for any 150 cc bike segment.

comfort working level of the engine. **Hero Honda Achiever engine is rated as the best engine

it looks attractive. The graphics on the petrol pump is very nice. The sitting position of the rider

level.
7) Gear shift:-
In any 150 cc bike, you will find the difficulty in switching gears to and fro because of
the heaviness you feel at your foot. In Hero Honda Achiever changing gears is very easy without
any hardness, and different statistical results shows no sign of gear lock(or) semi gear shift.
