CONS

Not Great For Highways - The Hero HF Deluxe is strictly a city-friendly motorcycle and it isn't meant for highway rides at all.
No Disc Brake - For braking duties, the HF Deluxe gets 130 mm drum brakes at both ends. It also gets IBS (integrated braking system) as an additional safety aid. The addition of a front disc unit would have been even better.
