Price hikes of two-wheelers don’t give us any pleasure but it is in their destiny

It has been over six months since Hero launched the BS6 versions of its scooter line-up with minor updates given to each one of them. With the market struggling as it is, Hero has decided to up the asking price of the Pleasure Plus and the Destini 125 by a small margin. Here are the new ex-showroom Delhi prices:

Model	Variant	New Prices	Old Prices	Difference
Pleasure Plus	Sheet Metal Wheels	Rs 56,100	Rs 54,800	Rs 1,300
Pleasure Plus	Alloy Wheels	Rs 58,100	Rs 56,800	Rs 1,300
Destini 125	Sheet Metal Wheels	Rs 65,810	Rs 65,310	Rs 500
Destini 125	Alloy Wheels	Rs 68,600	Rs 66,100	Rs 500

Price hikes have become the norm now and Hero isn’t the first manufacturer to revise prices of its two-wheelers in recent times. That said, Hero’s price hike is one of the lowest ones out there. And even after this revised pricing, the premium over their BS4 versions is very low.

Hero’s subtle updates for the Destini 125 included an LED DRL, a new logo and an additional colour option. It is powered by a 125cc fuel-injected motor that belts out 9.12PS and 10.4Nm -- 0.12PS less and 0.2Nm more than the BS4 models.

The smaller Pleasure Plus doesn’t get too many new features in its BS6 guise either. You get chrome headlight surrounds, stylish accents on the side panels and a chrome-finished 3D logo on the alloy wheel trim. The more appealing bit is that the 110cc fuel-injected BS6 motor makes the same 8.15PS and 8.7Nm at nearabout the same revs.
