I am riding with her since last 2.5 years... More than 30k kms...

Buying experience was not all that great given that my purchase showroom did not pay attention to us however this might change if the showroom authorities are good for you... Just the human nature...

Ride experience was good and was pleasant... Typically commuterish... But the split seat provides good support if ridden full tuck... Wind protection is not good as the wind shield is of absolutely no use being so small... Seat was again commuterish.. Good only for short distance.. Personal suggestion to go for rode on air for long distance... Suspension works fine and will not allow the ride to become to jarring but is not very much suited for high aggressive ridding... Handling is decent enough bike can be flicked around and stays easy on arms... Bike is easy on pocket for fuel and i did manage to get around 60-62 kmpl in city for first year but eventually it has decreased to 45-47 kmpl given that i ride more aggressively in city as well... Although fuel economy is far from good on highway at speeds of 70 km/h since it dips to 40 kmpl... (highly disappointing)??... The power is smooth and post 4000rpm there is a surprise boost of torque waiting to pull you away although you can do from 25 to 100 in 5th gear which means this thing can pull you away no matter your size..????

I was never a fan of looks from certain angles specifically the absolute sides... Fairing looks to have stopped right before the end and short wind shield makes it look odder... But front and rear 3/4 angles are the best to look at this bike which make me love her even more... Performance is good for a commuter.... Good torque low the rev range for city rides under 4000 rpm... Good power post the mark... Low vibration (kudos to hero...)

Can get to cruise speeds real easy and quick... I don't have a vbox and got some heavy mods but this thing can do 0-60 in 6-7 seconds.. (impressive for a 125cc commuter)... There is absolutely no point of revving engine after 8500 rpm as the engine flat lines and revs go upto 10000 rpm and the bike goes to 111km/h (atleast mine did????) breaking is handled by 240 mm bybre unit at front and a 130mm drum at rear which are ok.... But lack the feel... ????

Maintenance and service are subject to market risks.... Well bike it self is rock solid but if you are anyone like me who can't keep the bike stock... You need to visit service centre more often... But here is a catch... I messed bike twice and they were real bad back to back (i almost died) and spare parts were not available.. Not even disc plate... (disappointing).... Maintenance is easy and then depends on courtesy of your service centre.... ???? (may the force be with you) give the bike it's proper food and she is ready to roll....

Pro's

Good torque

Good mileage for a 125cc

Easy to maintain

Easy to work around

Easy on pocket

Average looks

Good handling

Good power

Cons

Average gearbox

Bloody dumb stock tyres (i changed them on the very first day)

Bad headlight

Average breaks

Well this being my first bike.. I love it...

Probably one of the best 125 today (although discontinued) i won't sell this one no matter how many i buy....

Ciao guys hope you find this useful... Ride safe ride hard.. Wear safety gears all time.... Specifically helmet....

Gears i use: vega cara helmet, rynox tronado pro l2 jacket and snocyo gloves

Tips for Hero Ignitor

Get things done when needed and read the user manual carefully as the manufacturer knows the bike better than you...

It's a very good bike. I have owned this bike for 10 years. I never face any serious problems with my bike, I ride it over 1lakh km. The hero should have to relaunch this bike again. I am fully satisfied with my bike. But my difficulty is finding his parts. It shouldn't available in the market or showroom. Why hero you discontinued this bike? It's such a very reliable bike.

Since 9 years my bike is awesome and mileage is 62 km per liter. The bike is still roaring in Mysore. But the the color I bought is white, so while using the color is dull. Only changed the chain sprocket twice. The vehicle is very durable and comfortable for long drive, daily I drive 200 km per day. Thanks for hero motors.

Best for city rides
2 years ago
Naveen Kumar
I own this bike since 2013 and completed 65K km till date. According to me, this is the best bike in 125 cc and good for city rides. It shares the same engine with bs3 shine but got 5 gears from unicorn 150. Except fairing parts, all the engine parts are still easily available in the market because of shine.
The only downside is its performance on highway and uncomfortable hard seat. I added extra cushion to seat and also used Unicorn chain kit which has 15T sprocket at front rather than 14t stock. This increases top speed, cruising speed and also mileage of bike. This engine is not available in the market on any bike because honda upgraded its engine on shine. But parts are still available. Hero should plan the relaunch of this same bike with a new higher Cc engine 150 or 160. This bike is very nimble in city rides and an excellent choice for quick spins and also grabs attention.

Tips for other riders
For those who own this bike, use CB unicorn 150 chain kit (15T sprocket). It will increase cruising speed and mileage because fuel prices are very high. And don't worry about using this chain kit. It wont cause any problems to engine. Because the original bike stunner was launched with 16T sprocket on its FI version while hero used only 14T on carb variant. So 15T is still good and works well.

Fastest and sense minded bike.
3 years ago
Bhanudeep
Come to the point, first of all we owned 2012 model hero Ignitor. Name put to this vehicle is exactly perfect. It contains 125cc,11nm torque,11ps of bhp, extremely strong front and back suspension and springs . The work well. very very thanks to hero company to this hero ignitor. Its not only a normal 125 cc bike its satisfies everyone in all times. The only bike for all low budget people is this hero ignitor. Every time when I start ignition it roars like a ready horse for everything to do. It never think that it was a small cc bike. No one believe that this "hero ignitor" is giving "100kmpl".It looks like a just a good looking bike. It capable for all types of off-roading. up-to now from this second, it never hurts me in like mileage, off-road capability, suspension, sitting, look, pillion seat, tyres and many other things in my life. done a lot of off-roading on it, but it never hurts me. In a word i can't express my life with my hero ignitor, because my life without my bike is like body without heart. thanks for those who are reading all this my review on hero ignitor

Still young - still strong
3 years ago
Suraj Deshmukh
I bought this new bike in 2015 and used it for the occasional commute. The front brake is disc while the rear is drum. Servicing of this bike has been done in every 4-5 months and never faced any issue of breaking down or whatsoever. The hero is a trusted company and has its service centres and stores all over India so there won't be any issue maintaining it.

I feel bike best response 50-75 km/h. I own drum brake variant amazing response every time. I love it's handling.

Fastest and sense minded bike.

Bhanudeep
Come to the point, first of all we owned 2012 model hero Ignitor. Name put to this vehicle is exactly perfect. It contains 125cc,11nm torque,11ps of bhp, extremely strong front and back suspension and springs . The work well. very very thanks to hero company to this hero ignitor. Its not only a normal 125 cc bike its satisfies everyone in all times. The only bike for all low budget people is this hero ignitor. Every time when I start ignition it roars like a ready horse for everything to do. It never think that it was a small cc bike. No one believe that this "hero ignitor" is giving "100kmpl".It looks like a just a good looking bike. It capable for all types of off-roading. up-to now from this second, it never hurts me in like mileage, off-road capability, suspension, sitting, look, pillion seat, tyres and many other things in my life. done a lot of off-roading on it, but it never hurts me. In a word i can't express my life with my hero ignitor, because my life without my bike is like body without heart. thanks for those who are reading all this my review on hero ignitor

Still young - still strong

I bought this new bike in 2015 and used it for the occasional commute. The front brake is disc while the rear is drum. Servicing of this bike has been done in every 4-5 months and never faced any issue of breaking down or whatsoever. The hero is a trusted company and has its service centres and stores all over India so there won't be any issue maintaining it.

Fully satisfied

Akash
It's a very good bike. I have owned this bike for 10 years. I never face any serious problems with my bike, I ride it over 1lakh km. The hero should have to relaunch this bike again. I am fully satisfied with my bike. But my difficulty is finding his parts. It shouldn't available in the market or showroom. Why hero you discontinued this bike? It's such a very reliable bike.

Awesome bike
2 years ago
Tabrez
Since 9 years my bike is awesome and mileage is 62 km per liter. The bike is still roaring in Mysore. But the the color I bought is white, so while using the color is dull. Only changed the chain sprocket twice. The vehicle is very durable and comfortable for long drive, daily I drive 200 km per day. Thanks for hero motors.

Best for city rides
2 years ago
Naveen Kumar
I own this bike since 2013 and completed 65K km till date. According to me, this is the best bike in 125 cc and good for city rides. It shares the same engine with bs3 shine but got 5 gears from unicorn 150. Except fairing parts, all the engine parts are still easily available in the market because of shine.
The only downside is its performance on highway and uncomfortable hard seat. I added extra cushion to seat and also used Unicorn chain kit which has 15T sprocket at front rather than 14t stock. This increases top speed, cruising speed and also mileage of bike. This engine is not available in the market on any bike because honda upgraded its engine on shine. But parts are still available. Hero should plan the relaunch of this same bike with a new higher Cc engine 150 or 160. This bike is very nimble in city rides and an excellent choice for quick spins and also grabs attention.

Tips for other riders
For those who own this bike, use CB unicorn 150 chain kit (15T sprocket). It will increase cruising speed and mileage because fuel prices are very high. And don't worry about using this chain kit. It wont cause any problems to engine. Because the original bike stunner was launched with 16T sprocket on its FI version while hero used only 14T on carb variant. So 15T is still good and works well.
