I bought the Hero Xtreme ATFT model in the month of October, 2013. Overall its a very good bike and its giving me a mileage of around 47Km/Lt before first service. Yes I don’t go over 50Kmph and below 4000rpm. The gears were difficult to shift initially but it has got smooth over time.
There is absolutely no engine vibrations which I see mentioned in other posts. It is a heavy bike and weighs 150kgs, so one should be prepared to take the weight of the bike before buying it. But handling is a breeze even with the high weight.
The suspensions are also very good and takes care of the bad city roads in Bangalore. The bike also has a kick start along with rear disk brakes. The rear disk brakes are very effective for city driving. The headlights are not bad, but definitely not the best in the class.
Remember for good performance and mileage you have to run your engine in. For this please do not go over 50kmph or under 4000rpm for the first 1500km. If you do this the bike will last for ever and will give good mileage.
