Cool Help me pick a 125cc bike

Hello guys,
I would like to have your suggestions on which bike to pick among the following:
1)Yamaha Gladiator SS
2)Honda CBF Stunner
3)TVS Flame

I'll be picking up the one with Self and disk, no point mentioning budget.
My daily ride would be around 20-25 Kms,
Should have power delivery with minimalistic lag.
Would be riding alone most of the times.

MY OPINION
1)Yamaha Gladiator:Would have been perfect had it had rearsets(I am 6ft and find rearsets more comfy)... Moreover, it's Yamaha(It's more than enough for me)
2)Honda CBF Stunner:I wouldn't have given it a second thought had it had tacho, otherwise i find it quite comfortable.Feels like quite a big bike when sitting over it...
3)TVS Flame: Haven't ridden it, not even a test ride, so can't say anything.

Well all the three options are good

You have selected all the three best in class stylish 125cc bikes

If you ask me i will say

1 - If you want looks to be the best and want stylish bike for you go for stunner

2 - If you want some performance go for Gladi

3 - If you want good mileage and easily available service centres and spare parts - go for TVS

But there are many differences between these three

Stunner ---- 5 gears ----- stylish looks ---no digi console---- lack of many service centres ------- lack of immediate spares ------ will give u a mileage of near by 60

Gladiator -------- 5 gears ------somehow stylish looks ------- no digi console -------- lack of many service centres --------will give u a mileage of about 50 - 55

Flame --------- 4 gears -------stylish looks ------- Digi console --------Advantage of Many TVS Service centres ------ easily available spares--------mileage of about 60 - 65

Now its all left to you ---- it depends on you -- but i belive u will go for stunner

Look, if you want performance, buy a uni/p180/200.

If you want a 125, the Stunner. It gives you a status and turns heads. Glady is a bit faster, but then better mileage/fun at a few rupees more is unicorn

Stunner is head turner. Glady looks like uncle's bike to me while Flame is somewhere in between. My order will be Stunner, Flame and Gladiator.

Stunner Performance is Not as good as YAMAHA GALDIATOR..

i would personaly suggest Gladiator, OR Even Disvoer 135 cc would be a better choice in 125 -135c segment

Go for Stunner ofcourse! From looks to riding position, the bike has got all.
TVS Flame would definitely be the second choice. It looks sharp and runs smooth.
Nothing for Gladi...

My opinion: go for Gladiator. Somehow I feel that the extra plastic in Stunner does not justify enough.
