Hero splendor is one of all time favourite bikes. I have used Hero honda splendor plus for 3 years. I found it very easy to maintain. Its maintenance cost is perhaps the least as compared to other series of Hero bikes. Despite being the "Hero motocorp" separated from "Honda motors", the quality and the performance of the bike is the same.
It gives an excellent mileage of 70-75 when it is new even after 4-5 years of use itll give a mileage of at least 60.
The look of the recent launch of Hero splendor is nice. Personally, I would prefer to go for Hero Splendor Plus if u want to go for the Splendor series of Hero bikes.
