Four years back, when I decided to go in for a bike. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy. Visiting show rooms of Bajaj, Hero Honda and TVS for month and after carefully weighing the pros and cons of all the bikes available I decided to go in for the Hero Honda Splendor. Today I am using since last four years from now. Splendor is really a smooth and wonderful vehicle. You will definitely enjoy the riding because of its smoothness. I say that this is absolutely no problem bike. The mileage is good till date I am getting average of 60 to 62 km/liter.
If you are not taking care as per the manual specifies. Then bike will start giving problems such as regular change of oil and servicing. The worst part is even you want to change the small part of the bike then you have to empty your pocket. The spare parts of this bike are very costly. Where as in the Bajaj the parts availability is very cheap as compare to the Hero Honda. Due to high cost part of the hero Honda the duplicate parts are also there in the market. Now a days almost in the all the main parts of the city authorized service centers and dealers are available. Also the scheme of the Hero Honda Passport is a good example of public relation maintenance from company side. Apart from the part replacement Hero Honda is the best. I suggest purchasing this bike to every one. This is bike is good for the daily use of 30-50km riding as the distance increases then beyond 50km per day the seat is not that comfortable for the driver. The new models of Honda are with less pollution. Even today my bike is EURO II compliance.
