Hero Honda took off track when others were in the competition of launching new products flexing their technological prowess. It cleverly went ahead with the policy 'old is gold' fine-tuning its in hand products to tap a great chunk of profit in the market. It really moved forward which can be seen from the reports of sales and financial results of the company if they are anything to go by. Lately, it has come out with the proven products such as Pleasure, Passion Plus, Splendor NXG and CBZ Xtrem to stabilize the market. And the Passion Pro is the twist and turn version of the Passion Plus and hence there is no much difference in performance of the engine. Nevertheless, some of the improvements made in this bike are alloys, red colored springs for the shocks, black paint for rear hand rails, leg guard, muffler and the chain case. It also comes in self start and kick start variants. Hero Honda looks bright keeping in line with its marketing strategy.
