I’m a proud owner of Hero Hunk which has clocked just 800 Kms. To be fair, the first 700 Kms was really a pain due to run-in period. Being a sensible rider, I made sure to do a proper engine-break in and perhaps I did it right. First of all, whoever told that Hero motocorp. I will be behind the competition as Honda has parted its way can check the sales chart from past 10 years. The chat itself says " Shut up, mind your own business " . Okay, Let me tell you about Hunk.
