One of the problems in Passion is that the pillion seat is tooooooooo high. My g/f is around 5.4 and she has to hold my shoulder put her a** up on the seat as if she is loading some bag behind me. Of course this has advantages too. Every time when there is a hump or when I have to apply sudden brakes she come falling on me. Thats a good feeling.
U don't get this on Yamaha or TVS.
Other advantage of high back seat is that the person sitting behind can extermly place his legs. A lot of comfort for pillion, nevertheless he comes crashing on to me when there is a hump. If its a girls its OK otherwise u get it at back.
My sister almost needs a stool to climb on to it. Passion is like Wagaon R with tall body. I get lot of vibrations on average roads.
Me being a cautious drive I have never reached 60 Kms in 12 seconds as claimed by HH.
Brakes r OK. Not that good. Head lights r not good. Tail lamp is fine but indicators could have been bigger.
Mileage is OK around 60 Kms.
1 good thing about Passion is that HH has provided a ring to hang the helmet. It looks like the bike is shitting when the helmet is hung there. Though it is not very elegant or innovative it still servers the purpose sometimes.
I am riding HH from last 13 years and ever since it has the same old problem. When changing from 1st gear to 2nd gear the rotation in gear box is 90 degrees and it makes a noise as if the bike is going to be in pieces in next moment. I wish this problem was not there in Passion.
Everyday in the morning I have to start and hold the throtle for about 1 min. Its needs a lot of warm up. Something like an iron box. Really slow at starting and running.
Suspensions r good but still can be improved. Engine doesn't make much noise.
1 thing about Passion is the petrol lock. While closing the petrol cover I have just press the lid in. Sometimes its annoying but something when its fits in for the 1st time I feel happy.
Passion is a queen in city and by the time she reaches out of city around 30 kms she become a screwed up bitch. Vibrations is toooooo much and no pick up in highways. She can catwalk in city but not a leapord in highways.
