This bike looks very much like its former models. However, a few changes have been made in the looks department. The tail lamp is now considerably better looking than it was before, although the lamp itself isn’t fitted properly. From the side it’s a great looking bike and the body appearance is rather heavy.
The bike is available in 6 different colours and all in all it all adds up to a pretty cool and sporty looking motorbike. The Passion Pro has a 100cc 4 stroke, single cylinder engine. It has 4 gears that can take you all the way up to 100 km/hr. However, at the higher speeds it can be a quite bumpy and uncontrollable ride. Everything is smooth and comfortable up to about 75 km/hr which is fine considering that this bike was never created with the intention to be a bike that you could use for escaping the police. 
If you’re in very slow traffic the first gear is the way to go. A negative thing with this bike is that if you haven’t used it for a few hours it can be a bit tricky to get it started again and cold starting it is even worse. Note that it has both an electric start and a kick start.
The break system is very good. Both the front and back brakes are drum brakes. When it comes to the grip the front tire is performing well while the back tire does not so drive carefully.
The suspension is really good with a pillion rider, not so much without. Without a pillion rider the Hero Honda Passion Pro can be quite stiff and bumpy to ride.
Some changes have been made to the speedometer, which now is a bit better looking than its predecessors. It’s not in any way a very stylish speedometer but many riders prefer them that way.
The mileage on this bike is godly good, if you’re now feeling that you don’t want to buy this bike, at least stick around until you’ve read about this bikes fuel efficiency. I’ve used speed petrol while riding this bike so it may be different for you when and if you ride the bike but so far I’ve noticed that staying within the range of 40 km/hr to 60 km/hr have been working great for me as far as mileage goes.
If you make sure to perform regular air pressure check-ups and if you drive your Passion Pro bike below 55 km/hr then you can expect a mileage around 72 km per litre. The maintenance of this motorbike is quite low and it has a bit of space for your luggage. The bike feels a bit out of control and the suspension is quite bad if you don’t have a pillion rider and if you do have one, then the mileage drops. But hey, at least the seats are comfortable!

72kmpl is awesome mileage. HH quality is mileage is real good.
Passion plus was much better. Dont know why they replaced that smooth machine with pro. Pro engine Sounds like old one. But majority of the people fall into this category and ends in this bike. So still hero honda no.1
I feel splendour NXG is more comfortable than passion/pro variants!
exhaust is quite boring. look at yamahas ybr110 cc bike. thrilling looks and great raised exhaust .
Discover have much better in front of passion
Discover price 150cc 48,500 Passion 97cc 49000
Discover have disc brake, more power 13bhp passion have 8 bhp
I have rode this bike sometimes and i feel really uncomfortable seating position. Higher handle is not comfortable and drops down confidence. Cornering at moderate speeds nearly not possible.
Bike speeds up very well and cruises well. But then its only for commuters and not for youngsters.
passion is truly a legendry byk !!!!!!
Honda twister is the way to now.its more powerful and equally fuel efficiency,i am getting 70-72kmpl.tyre pressure is vital.
HH sucks…
I am totally agree with you mr.Krishna, am also using passion pro for last 7 month. mailage and all you were said abt exactly what i am feeling. the only one thing i will say i am having confirtable ride with even 90km/hr, so stable…
some times am getting milage of 82-85 km/ltr(long jurny)
Please update with latest Passionpro pictures .
It is now coming with new graphics,New exhaust and Digital Fuel meter.
Awesome bike…currently I am using passion plus since last two and half years and it is excellent for city ride as well as good on highway too if you drive between 50 and 70, good mileage, very comfortable with or without pillion, decent pickup…overall nothing like this bike can go on and on for years…If anyone wants to buy a decent bike (not performance bike) then he can blindly go for this one.
everything was right , but top speed it can reach 88.
and miledge when its new it wii give 60 , then after that u can expect 50 to 55km. no bike can give 70s or 80s
I want to add a point about that tyre-grip thing. When riding w/o pillion, you brake suddenly (or, under hard braking), the bike tends to dive forward. This shifts the weight of your bike more towards front tyre. So, the front tyre gets more downward force to stick to road and give “excellent grip”. Just opposit of this – rear tyre gets less down-force and loses grip. This can happen to any bike. I own a Honda Twister and have faced this situation a few times. This doesn’t neccessarily mean the rear tyre has poor grip (my bik’s got a pair of MRF Zappers, factory fitted). So don’t be disheartened. Try to put more pressure on the front brake and less on rear (may be in 60:40 ratio). Regards.
I was just saying 50 to 70kmh is ideal speed for traveling on highway on this bike but yes it can reach between 80 to 90kmh and as you rightly said 50 to 55km is correct mileage what passion can given but in my driving experience it may give aroung 60 to 65 on highway if you keep your speed between 40 to 50kmh without much gear change.
This bike is excellent.I am using older model of this bike for 8 years(Since 2002)and it still gives 55-60 mileage and reaches speed of 85 easily.
i think passion pro is the best indian domestic bike. it has lots to feature and the best feature i like in it is its mileage it helps in saving money in this expensive world.
Hi Dudes…
Hi Krishna sai…
Plz dont post the wrong things so that others may think these are ryt and may go for a wrong choice in buying the bike….
Hero honda (Passion Plus) is a legend in comfort, looks and its refined engine…. but not Pro..
If u r not believing Ask HH professionals about wat is good either Old Passion Plus or todays Pro…..
The Blunders in ur post are…
1) 100 km/hr…. Absolute wrong….. i think u have rode in downhilly area….
2)72 mileage can be expected but cant be acheived… This mileage cant be acheived even by Passion Plus… but how is it possible in Pro…???
We can expect a decent mileage of 60 or 60+ …
The engine roars like hell if u push over 70 and we will observe shakes in bike which makes us to slow the bike the how is it impossible to push it to 100(even though managed to open the full throttle)….
These are facts Dudes….
don’t like dis bike at all
passion pro is good bike & 65-70milage
Milage is deppends on Riding and maintanance…if you really done that well passion pro will give 75-80km/lttr on highway, city: 65-70 km/ltr
My guaranty…
mileage
hw-45-50 kmpl
city40-42 kmpl
Hi
I am using Passion Pro right from February month.
I went for a long ride from Pondy to Chennai which is 140 km. I filled 5 to 6 liters of fuel for my trip. And I am using Nitrogen air.
I got mileage exactly 73 km/ltr. Well I drove from 65 to 70 km/h in the highway.
Totally I nearly reached 500kms in my trip reading. Really amazing mileage it gave.
The bike is really smooth to drive. I found little bit hard to drive in the city because of little high revs when compared to splendor.
Overall this bike is excellent to drive and its has good re-sale value when compared to other bikes.
The only problem I felt in this bike is cold start. That I really hated.
Fantastic bke la!
Plz send me mileage for new passion proo
