I have been using my Hero Honda CD 100 SS since 1993. Before purchase, I prepared a list of things I expected from a bike and evaluated all the available brands in the market. For this I visited all the two wheeler showrooms and collected informations. This bike stood first in my evaluation and I bought it.It proved that my evaluation is right.
Per liter it still gives 62 kms in city ride. It never stops in roadsides due to failures. Even when kept idle for a month it starts with one kick. There is no rust formation in the electroplated parts due to lack of cleaning. The electroplating is good. Even after 82000 kms of single hand run, there is no engine work needed for my bike. It is still a good thing going.
It has a better service network in all the towns. But in the villages the repair work has to be attended to the local workshops. The petty works like battery related works, oil change, bulb change and tyre change can be done at the village itself.
