Hero Honda, the single largest two-wheeler manufacturer in the world, has declared its first new model in ages. Intelligently coined the 'Super Splendor' to cash in on the earlier bike's image, it is built with know-how from conglomerate Honda and has to its advantage the gain of becoming the latest entrant to a booming 125cc market. As all the other players have already displayed their wares, Hero Honda has had the time to size each one up before revealing a challenger.
We take a close look at a motorcycle backed by impeccable ancestry, tall expectations and one that comes close on the heels of the heady success of the original Splendor.
