I also liked that it provides good mileage and affordable maintenance. It is not attractive, but its design is clear, which is compatible with my style. This bike looked like a practical and smart option for my daily traffic needs. The ride has been very satisfactory. The engine is calm and does not feel stress at low speed. It is useful in traffic and is easy to park. The digital cluster gives accurate information and also appears at night. The seating place is fine for two, and I have often taken a pillion. So far, there are no major complaints or issues. Yes, I would recommend others to Hero Passion Plus. It is easy to run, economical and reliable.

      Great Bike for Everyday Travel
      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.

      It was a good experience, purchased from bajaj showroom. Wonderful riding experience. Still in a condition to ride more. Has never made me push the bike mid highway. No accident just one person riding with care. Current average is around 22-25. Service is been local, however parts update has been original.

      Bajaj Pulsar 180 cc (2017 Model)
      Good balanced bike for a First purchase. It has the required power and quick manoeuvres for a city ride. Mileage is around 38-45, depending on the traffic and road condition. Headlight was a little weak, so replaced with a stronger power headlight. The overall experience has been good with this bike.

      mileage and speed
      This bike gives an average mileage of 32-33. The reason for the low mileage is due to the double ignition system, but very good performance. The pickup and speed are also too good. The looks are also good.
