I have purchased Platina 125 in october 2010. It was not a pleasant experience as my dealer made me wait for 15 days for delivery. But after I got the delivery I was amazed with the package . I got a smart looking bike , for a reasonable cost.Rest all bikes in 125 cc segment will cost minimum Rs.50000, this costed me at Rs.44500/- . It gave me economy of 65 kmpl before 1st service.
Well I expect this to shoot up by 15 after 2nd service i.e., an economy of 80kmpl, which is actually excellent in todays world, where petrol is virtually more expensive than Gold..The suspension is very smooth and bike glides over many potholes.
Well unfortunately, the seat is too narrow and can cause aches at difficult positions.
I mean at your bu%$$%ks, for longer rides. Also the bike is too light at front.So it often gets on to rear tyre , suspending
The front tyre in air. Overall its a good bike for what you pay and kudos off to bajaj for keeping other bike manufacturers in control over prices.Well one happy customer for bajaj is here!!!!
