Hi All,
I am planning to buy to upgrade from my Splendor NXG to a 125cc-150cc bike. The Splendor has served me for 8 years without any major problems. But, lately I've been getting only 35kmpl mileage and some problems are creeping up. Hero service center guy told me to get the engine fully serviced, which would cost around 6k
. So, decided to replace it.
Now, what I want in the new bike in the order of priority are:
1. Safety - Disc brakes is a must. Side stand indicator would be a huge plus
.
2. Mileage - At least 50 kms.
3. Service & Maintenance - Maintenance cost should be very low and service must be hassle-free. The Hero showroom in my area offers really good service. Never faced any issues in any Hero showroom actually. When I went to ask for the exchange value of my Splendor, both Honda and Hero responded well. TVS and Baja showrooms were very poor.
4. Comfort - I will take my wife around during the weekends for short trips in my area (3-4kms). Although no intention to ride long kms, pillion comfort would be a huge bonus.
5. Performance - The only thing I really hated in my Splendor NXG is its inability to go beyond 60 kmph. The engine will start to strain itself and the vibration will kick in. Also, it was a huge risk going above 60 kmph without disc brakes.
I will use the bike primarily for travelling to my workplace. My office is just 5kms from my home. The route is a highway (Chennai, GST road, south of Tambaram), although it will have some heavy traffic for half the stretch.
Here's what I have so far:
Honda CB Shine SP - Meets most of my requirements. It costs more than Glamour, but has CBS and 5 speed gear box.
Hero Glamour - Meets most of my requirements. It costs less, reliable Hero service; but worried about its performance.
Honda Hornet - Although costly, it looks stunning. Also, love the front and rear disc brakes. Just worried about the mileage and the pillion comfort.
I'm torn between the Hornet and the two 125cc bikes I've shortlisted. Even if I push myself towards the 125cc segment, I can't decide between Shine and Glamour. Please advice on which bike to buy.
