Hero Honda Street

It has rotary gears, which allow the rider to flip directly from the fourth gear to neutral once the bike has come to a halt, a must for the present ‘stop-and-go’ traffic. A self-starter button comes as an option. The Street can be purchased with a variety of seat layouts and has options like a water pump, spray can, larger luggage tray, etc. Its major competitor is the much cheaper K4 from Kinetic. Major plus points that justify the higher price are the centrifugal clutch and the rotary gears. However, the liberal use of plastics negates much of the ‘feel good’ factor and has hindered sales to a large extent.
