  2 customers found the following review helpful True to its name!

  I got a CD Dawn for my bro, though I wasn't much interested in it. For some reason, even my friends advised me to go for a different bike, if at all i was looking out for one. So I settled for Pulsar, as according to my dear friends, the bike had loads of look and firepower. I did like my Pulsar. But once, I had to drive down to my cousin’s place which was around 50 kms from where I stayed. And with Pulsar gone for servicing, half crying and half laughing, I decided to commute on Dawn. However what I found while driving was quite surprising for me. The gear box was so smooth!!! Well it has to be, since its from the stables of Hero Honda. Completely zapped, I decided to keep the Dawn to my myself and donated the PULSAR to my dear overjoyed bro. since then, it’s has been joy ride literally, in the wintry mornings of Bangalore. Also do take note of the fact that this bike has not failed me till date.

  Performing bike....

  Inspite of its being a lowpriced bike I would never like to buy it for some reasons. When I first rode my friend's Dawn It didn't give me a sense of joy!!! It is a very ordinary vehicle with common looks and flat seating..... I would rather go for a more rewarding twowheeler such as Super Splendor or Star City which ensures more mileage and better performance.
