                  The combination of good mileage and a comfortable riding posture convinced me to buy the Hero Passion Plus. I also appreciated the modern yet simple design. Having a Hero service center nearby assured me about maintenance and support. My experience so far has been very good. The bike starts quickly and the engine runs easily in stop-end-go traffic. It absorbs road bumps well, making the ride comfortable. I think it is driving it anywhere from crowded roads to streets, making it versatile. I would suggest it to anyone who requires a reliable Hero Passion Plus bike with style and modern characteristics. It is not a high-demonstration machine, but does not mean. For office ride, grocery race, or traveling in the city, it is more than competent. In addition, the service and mileage of the hero makes it a budget friendly. You get a lot for what you pay.

                  interesting attract in daily and riding experience
                  because the importance of performance, speed, ride smoothly, feel a better, style and look is choosen a based on the bike, or the brother have almost 5-7 brother chose a pulser on they are one reason the choose a bike. So far the ride has been completely fine. so far i have travelled mostly i group of 3 passenger but there is no different b/w travelling solo or in a triple, except that mileage may be different on the ride. I recommend the different reason pulsar buying i required on home to office on 60km going and 60km coming for they are not any problem on the ride time but the also required on 1.5litre petrol on tank or not but our bike is stop or not run 1 km to more or your choice you buy on your purpose.

                  The Students Dream
                  I Own This Vehicle Since 3 years and feel very comfortable with it. Its looks are very neat and clean, best for collage students. It approximately gives 40-45 kmpl mileage with very reliable and smooth engine, easy to handle in traffic with smooth gear shifting, i can say that this is the best for a new start.
