Query Moved and Approved.

Touring with a 125cc machine won't pose any problems. You can easily tour on the Gladiator. It is a wonderfully built machine - comfortable, good torquey engine and power which feels better than other 125cc machine in it's class!

As for going through UP, well, you just need to be a little cautious. That's about it. However, I cannot help you with South India as I haven't really explored that part of India. Yet!

thanks aryan for approving my thread & for the suggestion.

You can anytime tour on your 125cc mill. Just know the limits of yourself and your bike.
For a dacoit prone region, my advice is to travel through daytime only.

Yes as stated above touring on 125 cc is very much possible, even few of our fellow xbhp'ians have toured on 100cc machines.
So just go for a thorough check up of your bike before leaving for the tour.
All the best

yes man you can... we had a round trip on 2 FZ's, 1 pulsar150 and 1 Gladiator and done 1200kms in 3 days... About Gladi my roommate owns one and as Aryan told its a wonderful machine in it's class... During the trip there was one guy as pillion and he preferred pillion on Gladi more than FZ16 and Pulsar150...

you can.. no worries.. just dont stay at the top end all the time.. cruise it out.. 80-85-90

Go enjoy. Keep within 80 kph and you'll be happy. Understand the dynamics of the bike well.

Buy cramster bags, and respect the bike's limits. 125cc bikes are no slouchers

hey guys is it advisable to travel in night times bcoz i heard that there is a problem of dacoits in north.. is the south also having any problem of dacoits

Yes it is more than possible with Gladiator. But first I would suggest you to come up with a plan to be specific with dates & places of travel & then think about stay. As far as safety is concerned, TN is much safer than other states & it again it depends upon the time of your travel to certain places. If you don't plan for any night drives (after 8 or 9 PM) then you're safe anywhere. Next important suggestion or rather advice is to invest on riding gears, get yourself gloves, knee pads, jackets & saddles to carry your stuff. I hope you have a good helmet from a reputed manufacturer, otherwise, buy one immediately.

Also plan in such a way that you start the day early say by 4:00 AM, so that incase you need to stretch for a day or two you can ride upto 6:00 or 7:00 PM too.

On any case, come up with a skeleton plan in excel that has date of travel, start time, end time, Kms covered. Once you do this, you'll know where you need to stay, then depending upon the place, suggestions can be taken as whether you need to stay there or wind up early or stretch a little bit more to stay else where etc. So come up with a plan. Good Luck

Yes you can as the 125cc Mill has the capacity to witstand continuous Run....But make sure you keep her under 90..
I've driven my Flame for about 500Km trip and has did 120 Km in a single Rip....
Just make sure you do not overheat the Engine - give her rest for about 10 - 15mts for every 1hour of Continuous Ride...

Hope this helps.

Madhav Boss,

I have DRIVEN through the so-called badlands of UP - Etah, Etawah, Aligarh (couple of times) and all at the dead of night - like 2-3am. The fact that I'm still here tells u that all these things are overrated. Infact, I rode through the similarly infested MP tribal areas - but as long as you be nice, tip a few kids/pay their donation for their temple etc no one will harm you. Everyone loves a biker.

guys is it possible to fit a fazer front fairing on yamaha gladiator because i like it's big bike feel due to the head light.

Yes in this World everything is quite possible...
R15 fairings costs 11K and for fitting they cost extra 2K and the Bulbs and Indicators are Extra..
So Fazer fairing should also be gettable if the R15 is gettable...
You can almost finish them within 10K i think...
