Today 19/08/2008, I got my new Gladiator SS(Yellow & Silver) with rear tyre changed to 100/90 18". The first thing I need to mention about the engine, its very very smooth. When you are in the 5th gear you won’t feel that your engine is switched on. The second one is about the power of the engine, its hardly to believe this is 125cc bike. The third one is about the control and handling, the control of the bike dosen’t goes beoynd your control. The Fourth one is its front and rear shocks really superb which adds more riding comfort. The fifth one is about the stylish design which is really rocking.
The sixth one electric start you never feel that your engine get started. The only problem I faced is, gear shifting is little bit harder. may be its because of the new engine. I need to wait until the first service. Waiting for the run in period to explore in the highways. I am proud to be a gladiator owner. Guys if your looking for a 125CC bike with all 150CC bike power and looks go for Gladiator SS or RS. Its worth for money you will never regret. Since today is the first day, wait until for the next update for mileage and other things after the first service. The cost in Bangalore is 52, 900+ 1250( For changing the rear tyre to 100/90 18")
After a long consideration of TVS Flame, New Discoverer, Apache RTR I went for Gladiator SS. Guys thanks a lot for all your reviews, which helped me in choosing this fantastic bike.
Happy riding with Yamaha Gladiator SS. Hats off to yamaha.
