What makes the ideal commuter motorcycle? Clearly, this answer depends on what it is you're looking for in a commuter. In the context of the Asian market, particularly India, a commuter has to be affordable, dependable, and easy to ride. No wonder barebones entry-level scooters are so popular here. A good example of this is the Hero Destini Prime, the most affordable scooter in Hero's Destini model range.
With a price tag of just Rs 71,499, or about $865 USD, the Hero Destini Prime is accessible to most Indian commuters. It's the base model in Hero's Destini scooter range, so it does away with some of the premium features found in its siblings. For example, it doesn't get an LED headlight, but instead, features a simple halogen headlight sans any chrome trim pieces around it. Furthermore, at the back of the scooter, the Destini Prime doesn't get a backrest like that of the Xtec. Instead, it gets passenger grab handles, facilitating quick dismounts for passengers, as well as the ability to tie luggage onto the back seat.
