IMO Glamour is Pretty overpriced and so is stunner,one can buy a 150 for almost same price, and glamour has only 4 Gears.

they are not at all overpriced,it's just that the incorporation of pgm-fi system has triggered the price to shoot up.for day to to day commuter assurance of mileage and decent low end torque matters which both of them provide.

@sayank10,

I think now Suzuki Slingshot is pushed out of the list as I've got barely few reviews about it. But, in-comes 2 other bikes- Stunner & Glamour.

I checked Stunner. It is expensive (around 76K vs 62k of Shine & SS 125) & has a very high pillion seat.

Thanks

stunner pgm-fi is expensive not stunner.but then fi will help in getting better mileage ,linear throttle response,hassle free start with out choke in cold mornings.if step-up pillion seat is uncomfortabe for you then you can consider glamour pgm-fi,more over it has digital display which shows average fuel consumption so you can keep track of your fuel expenses.

Please do not consider the lower cc fi models. I have witnessed a friend of mine struggle with problems at the service centers and high service costs. Even without the fi technology, Most of the 125cc bikes will deliver a mileage of around 60. I donot see why you dropped slingshot. It is a good bike and offers a very good mileage in comparison to other 125cc bikes.

I wouldnt really go for the slingshot, dont you think the SS seems more of a better choice for the budget here?

Planning to buy SS125, but just got the following concerns :
a. Open chain ... diff to maintain as the roads in my area becomes slushy when it rains
b. rear tyre not much wide for grip on bumpy road?

I did take a test drive and found it smooth, but still am undecided.

Would be great if someone shares if they have had any problems regarding the above concerns

open chain is not that difficult to maintain.just time to time cleaning and lubing.i think ss comes with nylogrip zapper,which has good grip on tarmac,so don't worry.

You should also be knowing that such PGM-FI systems deliver almost same mileage as carb device in 100-125cc bikes, moreover FI systems need more care which anyone who buys 100cc bike is not really interested in getting done looking at the price of just cleaning the FI's regularly!

The open chains aren't issue since its an o-ring chain. But you need to use chainlube every 400-500km. The rear tyres are the best, in fact better than my bikes pathetic tyres. I will be going for MRF nylogrips anyday!
