VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.

paisa vasool bike
Maine 2 mahine pehle Hero Splendor Plus kharida hai aur honestly ye bike daily use ke liye bahut badhiya hai, Iski mileage mujhe around 65-70 kmpl mil rahi hai jo petrol ke hisaab se kaafi paise bachati hai, Bike ka engine smooth hai aur city mein chalane mein bahut comfortable lagti hai. Maine isse lagbhag ₹78,000 ke aas-paas showroom price mein liya tha aur on-road price thodi zyada padi maintenance bhi bahut kam hai aur spare parts easily mil jate hain. Agar koi student ya office ke liye ek reliable aur budget friendly bike dhoond raha hai toh Hero Splendor Plus best option hai simple look acchi mileage aur Hero ka trusted engine paisa vasool bike hai.
