Well, its nice to read the Bajaj – HH tussle. As far as HH is concerned, if Honda walks out and concentrates on HMSI, will anybody buy a Hero Splendour or Passion or CBZ. Think about this – “Hero Motors Karizma ZMR” – sounds funny. Its been Honda which has been keeping HH going for the brand. But Bajaj and TVS have done something more than what Kawasaki or Suzuki did for them. I like them both compared to HH.

This is turning into a Bajaj vs HH fight. Both Bajaj n HH make good bikes. Bajaj have been constantly coming up with newer technologies like (DTSi, exhaustec, SnS) and many more innovations on design front as well. Lets not get into details of each of them. On the other hand, HH makes workhorses based on tried n tested Honda engines. Obviously Bajaj can’t beat Honda engines today as Honda, n not HH, has been the leader for ages. Its advantage HH now, but Bajaj is catching up fast.

@ Ankit

Please mind your words opinion always differs so don’t call someone as idiot where they are not here

I am using a splendor for the past 10 years I didn’t. Spend much cost on service still my bike is in best condition
Bajaj users aren’t intelligent s and hero honda users are all not idiots

As you said 8 yrs old splendor worth is 20k tell me a bajaj bike which worths 20k after 8 yrs

Indian people have a BIG mental block over famous brands.. like Hero Honda, Honda and Maruti.. I don’t understand some foolish people still go for Hero Honda bikes when there are lot more better bikes available in the market at much lesser prices…

I recently met one idiot who bought a 8 yr old splendor for 20k.. Its the way many Indians are.. and hence in India its important for brands to be right at the first time.. there is no second chance..

Bajaj spares cost is heavy

Went along with my friend to take back his 8 months old pulsar 150 from service
They charged heafty amount when we check the bill showing many wear n tear parts are replaced

He checked with one of his personally know friend working in service dept he said “replacing spare is the way dealer can earn” also advised us buy engine oil and come to service coz at service department they won’t check the grade and quality of oil.

Bajaj HAS to pull up its socks! They can’t make bikes JUST to sell them. They should make bikes for customers to keep them.

@Prashanth

come on.. what new technology.. you want a parallel twin @40k?? HH is not doing anything new either.. if they were.. they would have become number one in premium segment as well (with Honda’s strong R&D). But strangely Honda itself is struggling to keep up with Pulsar range.

@Sameer

Dear fellow, I agree that HH has been adding just +. But Bajaj here has done nothing “fresh and new” either. And HH has not still lost its brand reliability.

Just varying the engine capacity with new numbers is going to be no good if you are not going to implement new technology.
