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

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.

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.

outstanding small bike, which is a joy to ride within its capabilities . The only thing lacking is a centre stand, which I hope to add soon, if the parts ever arrive.

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 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 first seen this Hero Hunk 440 in Bike magazine never heard of it before this publication, Really impressed with the styling, seat position and comfort, engine size too, it handles really well in traffic & motorway, not been on a long run as yet, love the H shape drl led lights, it also activates off the drl to full lights automatically, does run very economically too & has a great sound to it from the exhaust tone.

I genuinely love this bike. The seat height is perfect for my little legs (30”) The seat is also extremely comfortable even on 1hr plus rides. The engine is so smooth and the gear change is excellent. It is so easy to ride it helps you relax and you don’t need to think about the next move you just do it automatically. The breaks are superb also. The bike I’ve very well balanced.

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 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.

Firstly the bike handles really well, I’ve found the standard tyres to be very good. The bikes finish is also very good and it is a great looking bike. The gearbox is top notch, no false neutrals and neutral is very easy to select. Throttle response is great. The engine pulls really well and has great torque. Brakes are good and it has a very comfortable riding position and seat. I would recommend this bike to anyone who needs a great commuter that is also great fun on country roads.
