). Today took it for a short long trip of about 150 kms! went to a local hill station called ponmudi (Kerala) with a above average weighted pillion. Bike handled pretty decent in the normal roads but when i started to climb the hill, the bike's power shortage was very much felt! bajaj claims a 30% more power but i failed to notice even the ordinary 125cc power when i made the climb! The bike couldnt go beyond 1st gear in slopes. Of cource i didnt expect my disco to pull like my old gs150r but still, it was a bit disappointing for me as my friend climbed with a twister(110cc) in 3rd and 2nd gear (he too had a same weighing pillion). So power of the bike is not on the good side! Braking was good, always had control while i was returning from the top of the hill. Headlights were very immpressive but instrument lights (neutral,blinkers...) really is of no use if you travel in day time! gears shifts were pretty good although you will have a hard time shifting from top gear to 1st or 2nd gear when the bike has to be stopped suddenly! The bike handles pretty well and feels very light indeed! my bike was equipped with the stock eurogrip tires,which i found was good in dry roads! regarding the mileage, i haven't calculated it since my bike is still in the running in period! Comfort was very good as well!). Today took it for a short long trip of about 150 kms! went to a local hill station called ponmudi (Kerala) with a above average weighted pillion.

Comfort was very good as well! From this trip i have to say that disco125T is pretty decent when it comes to normal city and highway conditions but if the roads were challenging (like steep hills etc) then Disco125T lags behind! anyways, i loved the bike when in the normal conditions! These are my views about the new Disco125T!P.S.your bike looks good @ShantanuD
. And you are right, the power delivery comes in a high rpm! being a new bike i shifted gears in quick succession at lower rpm ( below 5000!)! which may be the reason why my bike's power was quite low when i went uphill
! I havent gone beyond 50 kmph till now! Trying to be as delicate as i can with my bike! haven't gone beyond 4000-4500 rpm(i think so)
! i have reached 350kms in odo! also, i didnt find the engine heat to be more. it was like a regular bike only, no excess heat is produced till now! my bike does pull strongly at low rpm in slight elevations(my opinion 
), its having a problem only in high elevated roads! Love the bike in normal roads
! but thanks for a very informative explanation. Happy motoring!
