Hero is an Indian company and are cheaper too compared with other bikes but I often see a problem in this bikes, that is the Self Start. Whenever I try to start my bike in the Morning, it moans, and that really irritating. And I dony see this type of issues with honda and yamaha. And the service is also not that great, I purchased two hero bikes and for that two bikes I got wrong servicing dates book, with which I had to lose my free servicing. Verh sad!
