I bought this mini light weight bug on Jan 14th 2008, since then i have driven 4500 KM on it and I have faced a hell of problems,
1) Its horn didn’t worked many times, got repaired twice during servicing but still it used to give up in between.
2) Average problem- at 40-50 km/hr, single riding - avg comes between 60-65 km/hr
at 50 km/hr or above, single riding - avg comes between 55-60 km/hr
at 40-50 km/hr, double riding - avg comes between 55-60 km/hr
at 50 km/hr or above, double riding - avg comes between 45-55 km/hr
Do you call this a performance?
3) Stability- Never trust it. Being too lightweight it is extremely dangerous at 80 km/hr or above.
Its like Nano in bikes.
4) No 5th Gear- you’ll always keep on asking for more but never get from it.
5) Fastest it can go is upto 92 km/hr - and after that it’ll ask for everything like a hungry Lion (Though its an insult to Lion by calling it so). It’ll need air, fuel and a stoppage for atleast an hour.
6) No disc brakes (well this something that depends on an individuals choice)
7) Electronic meter never shows correct reading for fuel, it depends on the inclination of ground level.
8) Less powerful engine- it never looks like you are driving a 125cc bike
I would suggest not to buy stylish little torture machine from bajaj.
