DESTINI REWRITTEN

Riding unhurriedly through the tight lanes of Goa as the rainclouds slowly gathered overhead gave me quite a bit of time to think about what it feels like to be immersed in the susegad way of life. Things don't always need to be done at a breakneck pace, and life has a lot to show you if you could only slow down for a bit. Now, slow is not a word I would use to describe the new Destini 125, but I will say that it is smooth, and smooth pretty much fits well enough into the Goan vibe.
It has been a while since the previous iteration of the Destini was launched, and this time around, Hero Motocorp has gone in for a complete design overhaul. Upon initial observation, the scooter gets an all-new front-end design with LED lighting and a projector headlamp while still carrying halogen turn indicators. The Destini also gets chrome-toned accents all around and smart-looking 12-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The rear end, though, has a two-step construction, where the halogen turn indicators sit on the top lip while the LED tail lamp sits on the lower lip. This aesthetic may not be for everyone, but that decision is left to the observer.
