We have to say goodbye to our long term café racer a little prematurely.
The bike hasn’t been selling well and chances are it will be taken off the market for good. And so, Hero called for it. But, in the time we spent with the Splendor Pro Classic, we learnt two things. First, one doesn’t need large capacity engines and high price tags to make a bike cool.
The Pro Classic is based on the Splendor(it’s obvious I know, given the name). So, it uses Hero’s tried and tested 97.2cc single cylinder sloper engine. It makes a little over 8bhp, so it is slow. It takes around nine seconds to hit 60kmph and never gets to 100kmph. On a downhill, with some drafting, I did manage to hit 95kmph.
