While we were offline last month, Hero-Honda rolled out its 11th millionth Splendor motorcycle on 11th November from its plant in Gurgaon, Haryana. This is yet another milestone for the company which has been in the market for around 25 years and has bagged 8 consecutive ‘largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world title.’

The HH splendor was launched in the year 1994 and no one would have even imagined that this single product would take the company to such heights in the motorcycle industry. Even after 15 years of its launch this motorcycle is still in the market, continuously improving and achieving new accolades for itself. The bike is considered the most reliable product when it comes to the Indian commuter section.

With bikes like Splendor and Passion, the attitude of Hero Honda is easily determined. They portray the intent of selling a motorcycle for a long duration, earning the trust of buyers.

Hero Honda seems to be in a mood to cash in during this festive season to the maximum possible extent. After the long awaited Karizma ZMR last month, HH have launched new variants of Hunk and their best selling model Splendor+ which has crossed sales of over one crore units.

The New HH Hunk variant consists of body colored rear view mirrors, grey colored rear grab rails, handle bar, foot rest and side cover and red colored rear shock absorber springs. The bike also has a Bull insignia on the side panels adjacent to the fuel tank.

The Splendor+ on the other hand is decorated with new graphics, a blacked-out engine, alloy wheels, black saree guard and black front forks. It also consists of a 1 crore special edition logo on the side panel along with HH logo on fuel tank, visor and console.

Both these bikes have underwent purely cosmetic changes the technical specs were unharmed in the process.

Hunk is priced Rs. 56,675/- (ex-showroom Delhi) and Splendor+ is priced Rs 40,000/- (ex-showroom Delhi).
