Hero passion

Hero passion

I bought Hero Honda Passion in August last year. When i purchased this bike I had too many options in 100cc and 125cc bikes including Yamaha Gladiator, Honda Shine, Stunner, Bajaj Discover, XCD 135. And then I shortlisted Passion Pro and XCD 135, though XCD 135 comes up with several Attractive features including disc brake option, digital odometer, 135 cc engine and I relied on the performance of HH Passion and resale value and so I opted Passion Pro.
Now, my vehicle has crossed over 10,000 kms. So i want to share my views on this bike:
Engine and its performance: The performance is good, highly impressed with its reliability and durability. Its engine puts up mileage of 62 kmpl in cities and 70 kmpl mileage on highways. The maintenance cost is low. In cold engine starts in two or three kicks. As additional features i got the power start, passer and silencer guard. Its mileage get increases after first two services. Also the pickup is poor.
Looks: Looks are good and attractive without disc brakes.
In comfort: Comfort level is not so good, long travelling causes back pain problem.
Braking and handling: Quite satisfied.
