Let me tell abt my tragedy of getting my 1st bike.
Gladiator is one of the good looking bike. Its a awesome bike with nice suspensions and comfort. But it is worst in the main important thing. MILEAGE, PICKUP. Initially I was planning for 125 CC bikes. I have option of TVS Flame, Discover100cc, Glamor, CB Twister and Gladiator.
TVS Flame - I heard lot abt its issue with engine.
Discover - I am 6ft 80 kg. it wont suit me
Glamor- Poor mileage.. also ppl suggest hero honda passion plus than glamour.
Gladiator- Look wise its very good and from the review I got feedback as good bike.
So I got the bike before 4 months. But the mileage is very very poor. It initially gave 20kmpl, then 25.. and now its in 30’s range. I am not sure that the mileage will increase more than 40kmpl. Also one more thing is very very poor pickup. Its not looking like a 125 cc bike. Its pickup is just like TVS 50 moped, really.
I don’t know whether my bike got this or not. Even after 2 services the pickup of this bike is very very bad.
