So, what does the worlds biggest producer of<br />

motorcycles and the HERO Moto Corporation<br />

have in common?<br />

Well, they are one and the same. As we sit here<br />

writing this article on the 21st of January <strong>2021</strong><br />

the 100 millionth Hero motorcycle is rolling off<br />

the production line … say that slowly O.N.E.<br />

H.U.N.D.R.E.D. M.I.L.L.I.O.N … that is a monumental<br />

number in anybody’s book and even<br />

more astounding is that the HERO Moto Corporation<br />

is a relative youngster in the motorcycle<br />

market, first seeing the light of day in 1984.<br />

What the hell are bikes like these doing in Ride-<br />

Fast Magazine?<br />

Well they are here. We need cost effective, entry<br />

level bikes in order to get more bums in saddles.<br />

And our job is to let people know what is<br />

available on the market.
