I have purchased YAMAHA GLADIATOR GRAFFITI series . , on 26/09/08 from Jamshedpur dealer Auto World.
Specification:- 123.7 CC, 5 Gear Box, Electric, /Kick start , Front Disc Brake
Reasons for Buying:- Excellent feed back abt gladi from friends & Mouthshut reviews, The standsrds yamaha proven by legendary RX 100.
Positive points: Fantastic Balance smooth driving while taking tiun or bisecting the Traffic, quite stable at high speed of 85-90km/hr Nice pick up, I start my bike when the traffic signal has 4 secs to turn green & still I beat other bikes within 100 m , it picks up to 45-50 km/hr in 7-8 secs. Excellent Braking, I can drive upto 60 km/hr in busy city streets with confidence because of the brakes. Mileage is good enough, one cant expect more than 50 km/L from 125 cc bike.
Negative points :Clutch needed to be much smoother , Leg -rest not with the rear wheel guard.engine noise needed to be reduced
Who should Buy & why? One who is looking for heavier & powerful bike without effecting the Mileage & budget can Go for it. one who sees only mileage better not to buy.
Service & Parts ; My bike has run almost 3000 kms, Two servicing are done. as of now I am satisfied with the service aspect of the dealer & no problem with the parts so far, Lets see!!!!!!!!!
Allover I would rate it 8 out of 10. I am a fan of hero Honda CBZ, but I am happy with Gladi because its a nice balance between money & The package Yamaha Is offering. Lets see how reliable it would be. I suggest to go for it.
