Recently I bought this bike. All the features makes this bike a ’PERFECT BIKE’ except for one thing. If your wife is stout then you will have to drive this bike sitting on the Fuel tank. Its Seat is norrow to sit comfortably. Still a excllent bike. The Bike is easy to maintain. Happy to know that it is world’s largest selling bike.Why did I love my Splendor? For starters, mileage, mileage, and more mileage. [Remember “Fill it, Shut it, Forget it”. It was literally the case with me]. Infact all Hero Honda vehicles give great mileage (which incidentally is the right philosophy in the price-sensitive Indian markets). My Splendor gave me close to 65 kmpl and that is almost 15-20 kms more than most other Splendors.Splendor was also the best four stroke motorcycle around at that time. It also fulfilled some Euro Emission Standards, which were proposed to be implemented around 2000 and was consequently ahead of its competitors like Yamaha, who came out with models in 1996, which strangely (or funnily) did not meet the emission standards proposed to be implemented in 2000.
