I am office going guy. I am planned to take a new bike.I need to commute min 40 km per day. I chosen 125cc bike suits my needs. I am in dilemma of going with Honda Shine or Yamaha Gladiator. I have gone through the reviews from mouthshut.com for both of these vehicles and feed back from my friends, using both honda shine and yamaha gladiator.I found there are some -ves in both . Here with I am representing both. Please help in taking good decision by informing me whether I am having the right information or not.
Honda Shine(-ves):
1) It vibrates(gives jerks), if we go above 40km/h speed.
2) Engine makes sound.
3) After first service mileage will be reduced to 40km/li.
4) Rear tyres are thin, so it skids in rain.
5) Brakes are not satisfactory.
6) Harsh drive leads to accident.
7) Lack of 5th gear is the root cause of all problems.
Yamaha Gladiator(-ves):
1) No seating comfort, will get back pain.
2) No Resale value.
3) Gives Jerk every day morning when is started first time. Need to use cluth 5 to 8 times before starting every day morning.
4) Gladiator gives less milege if it is driven in 80km/h(My friend is getting 45kn/li and he rides 80kn/h on avg). If the speed is 40 to 50, will it be giving good milege?
5) For the first three service, it gives 45 km/li milege. Show room sales person told this statement.
is above mentioned points are correct?
Is -ve mentioned under honda shine not applicable for yamaha gladitor?
is -ve mentioned under yamaha gladiator not applicable for honda shine?
Is any other vehicle suits my need of traveling min 40 km per day and I am office going guy.
Expecting the correct and quick informaton from the right people to take the right decision.
Thanks & Regards
