Economy with power - Matured Definition. Review on Hero Honda Super Splendor

Hi

------- February Statement ----------------

I had chosen SS coz I was looking for power and economy with low maintenance trouble. HH is the place to look all for. I was opting for SPlendor + in begining but as I weigh 85 Kilos this option for me was not feasible from engine health perspective. Then I looked for passion which suffered with same factor. Similarly I rejected bajaj Pulsar for economy and discover for being short in length. Finally I found SS to fill all my criteria.

I had SS ES since a week.. Pickup is excellent as compared to SS predecessors. But till now I drove it to 335 Km and its giving mileage of 50 - 55 KM/l. After Ist servicing I hope it should give 60 - 65 mileage. After all its HH bike. Rest ES is quite a fantasy. Overall grading 7.0 out of 10. And I tell u its gud.

Gear handling is not smooth as YAmaha or bajaj but its same problem in all models of HH.

------------ April Statement ------------

Hi Guys well after about 2 n half months I feel the average is okay sort nearly 57-58 KM/l. But man pickup is marvellevous till date. I had been racing with discover, pulsar and even karizma. To be honest with Karizma and 180 dtsi I was no match but for pulsar 150 I was at par and discover its chocolatey to defeat. Rest brands TVS etc were no where near. I am driving nowadays at speed of 70-85 and its gets smoother day by day ( Although that is not gud with engine health). But in sadii dilli its no deal. Discover scores with the starting pickup but SS is the reliable brand. To be honest I am quite satisfied. I wrote in my earlier april review very bad remark since my average varied to 50 but now on close observation its 56-37 km/l I think thats gud for now after next servicings it will adjust to 60 and above. So mark bhai if u r bit economaical then go for SS wth power in the respective segment.

I would love to recieve your honest feedback pls provide me ur experience and suggestions on bike maintence and textbook conventions to ride the bike

Thanks
