Hero Glamour price in Gokak

Recently I purchased a glamour black and accent model. Nowadays xtec model is only available.
The buying experience was good. On road price for the disc variant in Pune is around 1lac 5k. My riding experience was also good. It has a smooth engine and good pickup. Better road grip. Sporty and stylish look. Engine performance is also good. 1st servicing is yet to be done. Exhaust sound far better than honda shine. Go for xtec disk variant for a better braking system.
Pros-* better road grip
* getting mileage around 50+
*initial pickup is good
*led headlights
*sporty look.
*comfortable for daily ride
* Build quality is also good as compared with honda shine.
Cons -
* 1st gear sometimes stuck but it will be improved after service.
* engine kill switch missing.
* hero company should provide headlights on /off switch like previous models.

About the Reviewer

The main issue which I have been facing is with the cold start problem.
Everyday morning and at times when I leave the bike aside, I have to try hard to start through kick or self.
Showroom guys do time pass by saying battery issues and other issues but the real story is this model is an utter failure with the high cost at Rs.80000.
I regret buying and facing daily issues with this bike. Less speed, more noise, no pickup.

The bike looks are same as the previous one but riding it cont reach minimum expectations. Especially gear, this one is the worst experience I have ever seen in my life. After several complaints & services, they changed the gearbox but I am not satisfied. Pick up & smooth running are also not expected at normal bike rider levels. The engine is heating if we ride 30kms . Overall it's not worthy.
