I am going to give review after one year when I purchased my yamaha gladiator ss as by this time one can easily point out his bikes behaviour to write an review. Coming Straight to the point why you all should purchase gladiator I must tell you its the most under rated 125cc bike in the market as people walk with crowd as does sheep do for bajaj’s, honda’s......... Believe me after riding this bike u will not feel that u are on a 125cc bike, riding posture is such due to racing ergonomics by yamaha that it gives superb comfort and big bike feel which no other bike will provide, just go and simply sit on the it and then compare from other. About bike maintenance I must tell you I never went on service station for even single screw missing on it from last more than a year and everybody knows the condition of U.P. roads around my city gorakhpur. One thing I must mention that during servicing mechanic will tell u that dont lubricate chain by non other than spray provided by them but actually thay all are wrong just thry wanna earn money, if you will follow them u will end your bikes performance going down rapidly. At lest it happened to me on my city’s service station until I read owner’s manual. About economy my bike never gave me more than 55 kmpl as I always used to ride between 60-70 kmph on highways which is more than enough on 125cc. You can cruise on it at 75 kmph without any effort but if u wanna more a bit effort is required.However I have reached 102 kmph. Overall styling is one of best especially side and back look u will find awesome. Only analog meters has been used by yamaha which I like most as fun of swinging needles u will never gonna find in digital ones as why we should read everywhere when things get beautifull just by seeing them. Handle bars are really good to see and colour schemes to, Shockers are regular like every bike but big sitting space is one which is unavailable on most of bikes of same class.. At the end of my review I just wanna say that just try it out and feel the difference........... Yes Yamaha
