Thank you for your showing interest on this. This is my first posting. I dont know whether this is correct place or not. If not sorry .
Basically I am searching for a good 125CC bike. I dont want to take 150CC as it is heavy for me.
My requirements are .
good mileage and comfort
good performance like no vibrations, smooth gears .
good resale.
more service centers.
*Family purpose and my max speed band 60-80 KM/H. some bikes which are not in my list are good but not comfortable for family like CBF Stunner.*
not giving that much imp to looks.
I am not able to decide the bike which matches to my criteria.
plz suggest me in this .
I selected Gladiator, Shine, Discover and glamour.(Flame not in my list due to problem in bike).
These are my observations:
1.Gladiator: good performace bike. smooth gears and no vibrations. less mileage compared to other 125 cc bikes. **no resale and less service centers.** Mileage: 50 KM/L @ 50-60KM/H
2.Shine: good pickup and mileage. **Vibrations if speed more than 60**. **are they heavy? Can we tolerate and control it.** If so this bike is best I guess . Mileage: 55 KM/L
3.Discover 135 DTSi: good mileage and pickup. **vibrations @ speed > 60**. gear box problem and more imp point it is from **Bajaj ****so reliability on quality and performance very less**. Mileage: 55 KM/L @ 50-60KM/H
- Glamour: reliable( brother of super splendor) . **less mileage** and less pickup. not value for money. I dont know abt this bike if speed more than 60. **Mileage is the big concern**. But I saw new glamor ASFS(advanced swirl flow induction system). One of forum mentioned mileage as 62. Dont know abt price. If mileage around 60 then it is good choice I guess. Existing glamor giving 45-50 KM/L( if speed 50-60 KM/H).
I mentioned my concerns for each bike in bold and reason for not considering that bike.
Please update me whether my concerns for each bike are correct or not and how much I can give importance to it.
I never ride any 125 CC bike that much so I dont know abt **comfort**. Please consider comfort for each bike and update me. I used to ride Bajaj 150CC DTSi(my friend bike.)
Your suggestions will help me in selecting a bike.
thanks in advance and sorry for lenghthy content.
