Today I am going to share my very own experience about my bike and my bike riding. First let me introduce myself, I am MD. Monirul Haque. I am a business person by the profession. At present the motorcycle I am using is named Hero i-smart 110. I am using this bike for two years for fast riding I can have good feeling from this bike and I bought this bike for completing my daily traveling need for my business and family purpose. I bought this bike from “Alom Motor” placed in Taherpur Bazar Baghmara, Rajshahi. I like the design many days passed from now and before using this bike I have used two more motorcycles. I was not that much pleased after using those. From my childhood I used to love riding motorcycles and till now I love riding motorcycle. Few days back I visited Faridpur with my motorcycle. Riding a bike I also traveled for Natore, Bogra, Rangpur, Hili and Jossore. I really love motorcycle journeys. In one day I traveled about 600 kilometer on bike and within these two year this bike of mine has crossed 14000 kilometer at the meter. I cannot tell the peresnt count because few days back my meter was incised. So you guys can say it the only passion of mine, so I want to share details experience and information about Hero i-smart motorcycle. I hope doing that will be helpful for the riders and also the company can know about the flows from a real user.
For many days I was thinking to have hero i-smart 110. Two years back finally that thought becomes true. As I said before I love the design of this bike. Not only that I like the build quality and body parts. I think because of the design this bike is suitable for any kind of rider. Every body parts are durable according to my opinion. Engine is one of the most important parts of a motorcycle and in that case my bike has a good one that I must say. Because of the powerful engine I never get tired while long rides. Even I never feel problem riding with two more pillions on my back seat. Still now the engine performance remains good and no problems occurred. So in one word my bikes engine performance is excellent. But one thing I didn’t like at all is the mileage. When I bought this bike from the showroom they said to me that I will have 70 KM/L mileage. But I can ride only 50-55 Kilometers path wasting TK 100 fuel. That means this bike is giving me 45-48 KM/L mileage. I personally think as a 110 cc bike this kind of mileage range is not worthy. So based on the mileage I am not satisfied.
I never fixed my bike at the servicing center because I didn’t like their environment and the showroom place is not big at all. But one thing I have to say they are well behaved. I always service my bike from the Rajshahi showroom and they are well behaved, well equipped and their environment is also perfect as a servicing center. Two years have passed with a blink and I am using this bike without facing any kind of big troubles that’s the most interesting thing.
Now I want to talk about the comfort and controlling of this bike. Braking system of this bike is one of the most loving things of mine about this bike. I can have good control over my bike for that reason. If disc brakes were placed than it would be more effective I guess. Tyres of this bike are not that much good in quality. They are not well gripped and they often skid while braking. Though the brakes are excellent but I feel this problem very much. I don’t like high speed riding but once I speed up this bike up to 80 KM/H speed. Because of my age if I ride bike on high speed I feel pain in my hands and back. But I do travel long journeys with my bike. I have traveled many long distances with my bike and I never felt tired. This bike contains wider and long seat and for that I can easily move with my family. Seat height is perfect and it is perfectly matched with the handlebar which offers good comfort. Switches placed at the handle are also very user friendly. Headlamp and the other electrical offer me good support at the night journeys and because of the headlamp I can see my all paths easily. Suspension of this bike is standard and for that reason I feel less shaking even at the rough roads. But till one month after buying this bike the suspensions were harder. But now I can ride this bike easily and comfortably. Looking glasses are also helping me for watching my back.
When I bought this bike the price was higher than now but at present it is holding an excellent price tag. I think if the price remains the same demand of this bike will not decrease.
Good sides:
-Perfect design
-Excellent engine performance
-For long journeys
-Headlamp offer good power
-Seating position is perfect
-Effective braking and suspensions
Bad sides:
-High fuel cost which was not expected at all
-Bad tyres
-Back pain on high speed riding
So finally I want to say for those whom are interested to buy this bike, this bike is god from all the sides though few bad sides are also there.
On the whole you can buy this motorcycle. As a 110cc motorcycle engine performance is wonderful.
Thank you.
