Pros

As far as the handling, breaking, shockers etc are concerned the bike is excellent. Gear shifting is quite smooth. Its resale value is among the best and its maintenance is among the lowest. It comes with two years of warranty.

Cons

Hero Honda CD Dawn's shock absorbers are not so much sturdy and will loosen down if not handled properly and at last you will have to change it totally. Moreover, unlike splendor it doesn't have that pickup or speed even though it has same engine specifications.
