I bought yamaha gladiator on oct 17 2009. The onroad price is 57000. I finished three services and completed 7000 kms. The bike is superb but the pickup is not that much gd but k. before the first service I got 40km/ltr and after three services am getting 50 km/ltr in town and 55 on highway that too if we ride the bike on 40 to 60km speed. The gears are so smooth to shift, I touched the speed 105 and on highways the bike goes so smoothly and very fast without any vibrations. The engine cowl is so good. The disc break is excelllent. Here in my place the service centre is good . By seeing me my friend also bought gladiator after one week of my purchase and he is so happy with gladiators performance.
I can say that it is a sporty , stylish and family bike with all the features in it.
