Visordown Review - Hero Hunk 440 review: muscle without the mayhem

Visordown were cordially invited to the exclusive UK Launch for Hero Motor Corps Flagship model - the Hunk 440.

None other than their esteemed Editor -Simon 'Toad' Hancocks was dispatched to Oulton Park Circuit in Cheshire.

So what does he think of the machine ?

The Hero Hunk 440 - riding

"The throttle connection is crisp, the fuelling is smooth and the exhaust note engaging. And unlike some of the bikes I’ve ridden recently, the six-speed gearbox is surprisingly slick and accurate. It’s cheap as chips, well built and refreshingly honest...at £3,499 plus OTR... the Hunk 440 could be the start of something big for one of the biggest bike makers on the planet. "
