      This is very much expected. But, I am puzzled as to why they launched refreshed Gladiator (of course colors) SS125???

        good they stoped alba and g5. they was old looking bikes
        now indians give more attention to the bikes look. thats why companys are changing their old bikes looks like ex cddelux.

                guys, as per my knowledge, there was two model of gladiator in the yamaha stable.. one being the normal old gladiator and the other being the gladiator type SS/RS. type SS/RS came with more power compared to gladiator and some technical advantages too. i think the old gladiator is being stopped as anyways its sale was less compared to type SS/RS. i might be wrong but this is what i think it should be..

                EDIT: if gladi is really stopped then it is sad

                  So my Gladiator has finally fallen. Just when it was starting to make a name of itself. The bike will be replaced(I hope) by the SS125. I remember seeing the new batch of SS125 being offloaded along with the newly printed workshop manuals.

                  You are referring to the Type Graffiti. The cheaper Gladiator that was in sold alongside the SS/RS till the stock got cleared.The Type SS/RS replaced the whole lot. There were no power increment between the models. Only stuff to improve it's overall feel. Better tyres,redesigned front cowl,air filter,lowered handlebars.

                    Does this mean spare parts will become cheaper since they want to get rid of everything, or more expensive now that there is a limited supply?
