I purchased that bike in the year august 2010 brand new believing that it would satisfy my need but some it was not up to that level this was the only bike with it I was very unhappy the reason is only and only the mileage. it was very shocking to me. because I liked that bike but it runs at only 28 km/l average. but overall it was ok. handling was good and had very good grip too. it runs very smooth. I liked everything about it except Mileage. at that period I had to travel a lot. when got that bike to the service centre for service. I got its Mileage checked it was very to my expectations. but it looks amazing and one thing it had very low engine noise that’s me happy sometimes. It has a very curvy seat also which makes me crazy while I ride on it. I purchased many bikes I was passionate about bikes. I had used it for 8 months only. but it has very good reselling value. It didn’t get much time to sell as you know hero honda name. I got a good deal too. whenever I share my experience with people on this bike. they say my bike was an exception on average. because my friend bike was giving 40 km/l average at the time. This was the only reason I sold it.
