[What Bike]: Help on 125CC Bike - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

archat · 09-22-2009, 03:28 PM

Hi Friends,

I am planning to purchase a bike for my dad. Previously he was driving a Yamaha YBX. and now im looking for a 125CC bike, price around 55k and mileage around 55kmpl. So please suggest some good bike which i can go for. my primary requirement is good comfort and decent pickup and good mileage.
i have option like super splendor, TVS Flame. please suggest some more if any or give me the suggestion on these 2.

Topic Approved.

any sour experience(s) with the YBX?

Gladiator is the best in comfort and handling. It suits all ur requirements perfectly. If it is for dad the I Suggest you look no further than this. BTW, not the SS/RS models. The older model.

If your dad liked the ybx... Then gladiator should be a good bike for him... Both of em have the same engine... But gladiator's engine is super refined... Its within 55k and will give a mileage of around 55-60 if ridden properly...

I'll go with the gladiator too...

Previously I have gladiator SS and believe me this is great bike in 125 CC segment. Now I have R15, but still I am missing my Gladi.

This is the best choice for your requirement and Yes, your daddy are old customer of Yamaha then I am sure, he will not satisfied other then Yamaha.

gladiator fits your requirements perfectly!

+1
I would also have suggested stunner here but the ride height and all may not be for his liking so ask your dad to have a test ride of Honda shine and Yam Gladiator to choose the bike that suits him.. Won't go wrong with either of them and are pretty good in the segment than the one's you've quoted.

Yamaha Galdiator or the TVS Flame are the really good 125s in the market today I feel.
