This bike will need a lot of publicity to sell. This is because many people in India are not even aware that there is a brand called lml. With this the bike also has to be good. Does the graptor succeed in this?
The graptor looks distinctive. Very much. But it has been overstyled (if there is any such word). The design is too rakish. There is this naked y frame which lml calls extruded steel technology. It reminds you of the gf170. But it makes no effort to conceal its status. There is a sticker reading’est-extruded steel technology’ on the y frame. The paint quality of the bike is not so good, neither is the build quality. Fit and finish is not satisfactory.
The engine is a 150 cc engine that pumps out 13.5 bhp. Power is very good. This does translate into good performance.0-60km comes in around 6 seconds. This is quite quick. But the f2 and pulsar are quicker from what I have read. Fuel efficiency. The thing that scores in india. Unfortunately it is not very good. It gives only around 40km/l. The pulsar gives atleast 55km/l!even the f2 gives around 50km/l.
Overall the bike is very average. Performance is good. That is the only pro. Looks are in the eyes of the beholder. Fuel efficiency is very bad. The pulsar scores over the graptor in every way. It is quicker, gives better power, performance and simultaneously gives good fuel efficiency. In my opinion, the pulsar is the best choice in the 150 cc segment
Please give me your comments and suggestions.
