Thanks a lot for the approval!

Here is my ownership experience:

I have been riding the Platina 100cc since the last one year. I have covered 28933 km as of now. I bought the bike due to its good mileage because I tour a lot and cannot afford to spend more money on petrol since I am a student.

Well, the bike has never disappointed me. I rode on good roads, bad roads and no roads at all. I rode it continuously for more than 6 hours, 800 km in a day but still the bike didn't show any signs of fatigue. Rode it in heavy rainfall, on sand, mud, etc. I have clocked 110 km/h on it twice(was very difficult). It can go till 105 km/h with a pillion. I tested the mileage several times and got a good average of 90 km/l while riding in the city. The max which I could extract out of my bike was 100 km/l while riding in the city.

Talking about the bike, the seating position is really good for both the rider and the pillion. The engine is very smooth and silent. It is more powerful than the other 100cc bikes in the market and also offers a better mileage as compared to them. It is easy to maneuver the bike in traffic due to its light weight. It has got a tank capacity of 13 liters so one doesn't need to fill petrol very often. The headlight is good. The horn is loud enough. The bike has got a fairly good pick-up according to its capacity. Since it has got 4 gears, one doesn't need to change the gears very often in traffic. It can pick up from 15 km/h on the 4th gear.

These are the maximum speeds which I have done on it

1st gear: 25 km/h
2nd gear: 55 km/h
3rd gear: 85 km/h
4th gear: 110 km/h

The thing I don't like about the bike are the brakes. Since it has drum brakes, sudden braking is a problem sometimes.

good to see your love or respect for the bike there moeed

how could a 100cc bike with 8.2 bhp can reach speed of 110kmh? i myself rode a freind`s platina and could only reach 92 kmh with a pillion while ct100 clocked 96 on speedo(solo ride same day) . i think maximum speed that 100cc could clock is 98kmh . otherwise there is fault of over optimistic speedometer

abhis3k

With lightweight rider & pillion & with speedo error it easily can

Platina is a nice VFM bike afterall.

I have it since 5 years and done 28,000 KM, however, the max. speed I ever acheived is 95 KM/hr. That too with the help of a little downward slope due to overbridge on highway. I can't beleive it can ever reach 110. Company claimed top speed is 87. Must be a speedo error.

Also the FE that I get is around 65-70Km/l. This is what most of the other guys get whom I know own the same bike. Now this can't be a speedo error. BTW how do you calculate FE?

Just wonder Do you work for Bajaj???

ramzsys

My dad's 2005 model CT100 (with the same platina engine) clocked 93k and when complained of slow pickup, workshop recommended a Cylinder change along with engine reset work. Costs around 6k, i am told. Is this normal?

hhsplendor

I have two 100cc bikes one HH spelendor and this BAJAJ platina125.
in platina 100 the suspension is not good so the ride quality is not as good as Spelendor but 125 its good.
Hatsoff to your tour with 100cc bike.
I request you to post your travelogs..
