I have this red splendor from 96 onwards. it is undoubtly a great bike. great pickup, great average and great looks.
i think we now have choice to pick up from unlike 1996 when there were 2 stoke samuria only as its nearest competition.
i believe now tvs victor as it main competator.
only suggestion is not to use any wax or any liquid (other than water) to clean the bike. plz use water only, otherwise the finish takes a beating. also rememeber that the seriving in the first 2 years are the most critical. never miss those seriving days. never exceed 45 km in the first 1000 km as the bike requires to stabilize before it can run better.
other than that an excellent and stable bike
