Hero MotoCorp has filed a patent application in India for a new motorcycle design, and the drawings are reportedly reminiscent of the classic Splendor Pro Classic. With retro styling, a revival in the 125cc class could suit today's market. It's a notable move by the company that dominates the world's largest-volume motorcycle segment, leaning on nostalgia as a strategic play.

I absolutely love playing detective and piecing the design together from patent drawings. Hearing it's a retro look reminiscent of the Splendor Pro Classic, I can't stop imagining what they'll modernize and what they'll keep. If it comes back as a 125cc, the market potential makes sense too. It's still just at the patent stage, but this is exactly the kind of follow-up story I want to keep chasing.

Getting this much buzz on a retro angle shows retro design has real staying power in India too.

What did the Splendor Pro Classic look like?

It had a round headlight and a boxy tank — the kind of old-school commuter look.

A 125cc from Hero should come in at a fairly low price too, and it seems like it'd land well with entry-level retro fans.

It's still at the patent application stage, so whether it actually goes into production isn't confirmed yet.

If the drawings are detailed enough to evoke the old model this clearly, development itself is probably already at an advanced stage.

A retro-styled 125cc could end up going head to head with something like Royal Enfield's Hunter.

The Splendor Pro Classic's revival — plenty of people would probably feel nostalgic seeing that round-headlight retro design again.
