I’ve only had the bike for a couple of weeks and I’ve dropped it off for the first service with 320 miles on the clock so I don’t think I can give a proper opinion on it until I’ve got some more miles on it and it’s properly run in. I’m definitely enjoying riding it though, it’s a fun little bike, I have a Hunk as well, totally different bike and that is a great roadster.

This is a fantastic motorcycle to ride on soft trails and on road just enough power and weight to enjoy

There are several aspects regarding the bike that I absolutely love - firstly it reminds me very much of the Suzuki TS250 that I had back in 1978. Secondly, the engine is very versatile and pulls like a train even though it is only 200cc. And lastly it handles extremely well and has excellent suspension giving a very smooth ride. To be honest there are a few negatives - the fueling at low speed is a bit intermittent causing the engine to hesitate in slow traffic. The fuel gauge is particularly inaccurate - the guage registering empty with the low fuel light on when there is still half a tank full left. Also the rear mudguard and chain guard don't fit correctly which is a bit disappointing.

I liked the styling and the power which is just right for travelling in London. However, it lacks the power for driving on Motorways where the bike seems to struggle coping with the speed. I would have preferred to get a better understanding of the mileage consumption which seems to keep changing and never gives a definitive output

Handles the A and B roads with ease, has enough to keep up with traffic. Good fuel economy, Comfortable riding position, handles well. Finish and components better than you would expect for the price. A really impressive little all rounder, and the dealer support is spot on, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I'm in my seventies so being able to cope with the seat height and bike weight are vital, the XPulse Pro would have been too high, but I have had no problems with the standard bike . I'm planning a trip to The Scottish Highlands next month and I'm confident that the bike will cope easily.

Roughly 300 miles in and no complaints so far. Bike rides & handles better than I expected, engine is smooth & pulls well (as well as 19bhp can really!), gearbox slick. Biggest compliment I can give it is that I haven't been out on my V-Strom since I bought this, & looking forward to getting it out on the lanes once run in which was the reason I had it. Only slight niggle is the seat leather appears very thin & is already starting to stretch...I fear for it longer term. Other than that, I have no regrets, great value bike.

I love the ease of riding it, it's absolutely effortless. For the price they sell for it's very good value for money. Over the 1,200 miles I've done it's mostly ridden on tarmac, but been green laning a few times, It has enough power to cruise at a steady 55 to 60mph and enough torque to climb hills when on the rough. All told I'm very pleased.

I find the Xpluse very comfortable I can get both feet flat on the ground, the looks are good and the level of equipment, I had to remove the screen as it caused too much buffering around my Helmet. the fuel economy is very good. its off road ability is all I need but could be improved with better tires . Its only major problem is its weight it is a lot for a small bike , but at the price that is to be expected. overall I am pleased with it.

I love its simplicity and it ruggedness. Easily handling both tarmac an off road conditions. Its aesthetics make it stand out amongst complicated machinery with a style that says "purposeful". The only one aspect that could be improved on is the seat. It is a little on the "firm" side of comfortable and 25mm too high for the average person. Am astonishing motorcycle for modern day riding and lesiure at an affordable cost. Well done Hero.

The bike is an excellent choice as a multi-purpose motorcycle. Putting premium tyres on a budget motorcycle for European use is genius. Buyers don't have to change them to feel road confident. Gearing is just about perfect. The technology is enough, doesn't need more. Fueling is a little `snatchy' at low revs but bearable. Overall - very happy. Thank you.

Engine is very smooth,starts first time every time.Fuel consumption is excellent.Riding position is perfect for me,no aches or pains.Build quality is very good.Rxcrllent value for money.No real problems so far.Good motorcycle overall and is highly recommended.

Fantastic bike, rides like a dream, It’s a shame it doesn’t have a centre stand

Great value for money Easy to ride and light handling Feels solid like it will last Great fuel economy Front brake is not up to much but rear will lock the wheel why is abs only on the front? Too low geared for road use Side stand not very good

The Hunk is really light and manoeuvrable. He is great for my daily commute to and from work and really economical on fuel

Pros: Torquey well fuelled motor . Comfortable suspension, handles well. Gearbox ok Switchgear easy to use except trip A Cons: Fuel range doesn't reset after fill up shows 16 miles until about 10 miles travelled Fuel gauge seems ok. Resetting trip is fiddly.
