First, the Yamaha Gladiator has been around for a long time and still it doesn't sell well. I have not seen many on roads.

Second, i have taken the test ride of the Gladiator and found nothing great in it. Even in terms of looks, there is nothing special in it.

Third, i don't trust Yamaha bikes to give good mileage.

Fourth, I have already booked a Red Pulsar 135LS!


I took test ride of the P135LS and liked it immensely. The bike looks awesome in flesh: split seats, clip ons, digital display, gas shocks the bike is kitted to the max. Will be getting my bike shortly, will post pics and my report after that. thanks guys, impatiently waiting for my bike.

HI guys
.
I want to buy a Reliable bike with good mileage (60+) with a budget of 60k.

my mechanic is suggesting Hero Passion pro or Honda Shine.

pls guide me.

Within your budget, the following bikes should be available
Bajaj : Platina, Platina125, Boxer, Discover (100,125,150), Pulsar135.
HH : Splendour, Passion
Honda : Twister
TVS : Star, Flame
Yamaha : SS125, YBR125, Crux

All the above bikes are reliable enough and the Platina and Splendour will surely give you a mileage of 65+ kmpl
Check out all of them and buy a bike that you like, not the one your mechanic likes.

The Shine and Passion Pro both are very reliable. You can count on both.
If you think about Passion, give a second thought to Twister, it Peppy, and freaking mileage. Passion looks a bit healthy as compared to the other two.

If you can just extend your budget, go for the Yamaha SZ series. Pretty good (might need to compromise on mileage though )

Most importantly, if you have the time, list all the bikes in that segment under/near your budget, take a test ride, and decide.
Also check the reviews, riding experiences here on XBHp. Trust me, they are very helpful.

Good Luck for your purchase.

If you have good access to Suzuki SVCs, even Slingshot would be a good buy..
Its having good power and decent mileage and Suzuki's reliability
Take a test ride and then decide..

I always tell people that if going for something less than 150cc it has to be the P135LS as it is the best bike below 150CC. Bajaj is known for providing the maximum VFM and this bike is another example of the same. Also, it handles,accelerates and cruises much better than any other bike below the 150CC segment. In fact it performs on par or better than some 150CC bikes. The handling is sharp [not R15 sharp but better than competition].

And Biker_Rohit, you yourself answered your question when you said why not go for a 135CC 4 valved mill.

Cool pwnage on post number 7. I love it when this happens.

Pulsar = Unreliable is a thing of the past now. They are miles ahead of their predecessors and the 135 is a totally different bike. Parts are cheap, service network is great and if you make a few friends at the service centre, the bike gets ghar-jaisi treatment. :-)



EDIT: Congratulations on your 135LS. I wish Bajaj people provided more color options for the 135. Like Grey, Metallic silver white and blue.

Bajaj are you listening?
