Well well well...so due to some urgency and limited cash I bought myself a bajaj platina 3 weeks back. I was not happy but the situation was something which forced me to buy the cheapest bike available, I was out of the showroom in 20 mins flat, as I didn’t looked at the color options or anything..put in the cash and took the bike on display.
Hats off to bajaj’s engg they made a good stuff. I’m a horizontally challenged, well Im 110 KG but this 100 CC thing can carry me with ease...after 1st service..I made it up to 80 KMPH after the engine is hot!!! Milage is good...till now bike has done 903 kms and I have put in fuel worth 800 bucks till now...but seeing my weight and most of the time in doing a double on the nike..its damm good....
if you want a eco bike..go for platina!!!!
only thing I don’t like is...its position...its gives back pain!!..apart form that a good stuff

one year gone by and the bike still going strong...
Back pain..not anymore..I guess I have adjusted myself now...They say its a low mint bike...but as its me..I like my things to be well mechanically so I used to service her every 2 months..and I had like 7 service for her in last one year...just coz I like my stuff to be in top notch condition..so that must be the reason..she is doing well....well at least its easy on my pocket...so I would recommend this babe blind folded
