    Yday i went to LML Dealer in Patel Nagar Delhi,I liked the feel and looks of Bike.I wanted to ride it, but the dealer promised me that it will be available tomorrow.Buti asked him to just let me have the "feel".So he started it.The first thing i noticed is the excellent exhaust note, a heavy voice from its heart.Second, i felt that it doesnt have that much low end torque, after i twisted my wrist on its handle.The handle are also wide apart, and sitting on it is upright, and good.Seat was comfy and overall looks, though subjective, were nice.

    But When it has to take on mighty Pulsar, everything is less.

          Guys, got to ride the Graptor, at a newly opened showroom"Studio LML"

          The dealer(a friend) was overwilling to give me a test ride, The bike has good performance, looks, pickup is better than P150DTSi/CBZ, I can say this as I raced with both.

          The dealer was very willing to test performance with P150DTSi as he says, graptor is launched specifically to compete with P150DTSi.

          Said that I can take bike for half hour, raced against friend's CBZ and P150DTSi, Graptor can beat straight to P150DTSi, CBZ can outaccelerate it in pickup, but atlast at 115, graptor left CBZ behind, but P150, beat it in top.

          I guess its a very good bike, paint quality, and body quality is top.
          Feels a little like Fiero.
          Bike is very smooth, meters have blue light, has a switch to start both indicators simultaneously.
          Brakes are s**t, could not stop after racing, had to use rear brake more.
          No self start option.

          Freedom Prima is the new variant, comes in 2 options,
          1. 110cc 4-speed, drum brakes
          2. 125cc 5-speed disc front

          Prima is good, performance is also good, but not like that of Winds and Ambitions.

          Overall Graptor is a bike worth considering to P150DTSi, and CBZ,
          costs 55K here in New Bombai, Mumbai.
          Dealer says milage will be 60-65(I dont think so).

          Lastly I raced it with my 180DTSi( to see its real potential with power bikes) and smoked it in pickup and topspeed.

          180DTSi-P800-N6600: Great Combination of power & style.And now upgrading to Comet 250-P900, means greater power and more style.

                thanx chetan...obviously not a match for p180, but could prove a worthy competitor to the P150 KS, fiero etc..

                          hey chetan....very nice info...sounds very 'reliable' (no offences to other guys who posted abt the bike earlier) but this is the first time a detailed review has been given...also what did u think abt its body structure........would it look a bit different in INDIAN ROADS compared to other bikes (like how the ZMA did when it was first launched- WOW!)....also its tank structure seems interesting.....is it bigger than a pulsar's?

                              The bike will look a little different on Indian roads, but not as much as Karizma, but the bike is a sure eyecatcher, looks better than Pulsars(new)(according to me no offences) and in comparison with CBZ, looks ok. The bike in general is the best looker in 150cc class. Tank is a little smaller than Pulsar, when looked from standing position, when riding feels almost like pulsar size. The tank is really a good looker, like those naked road SBKs. It is very nicely sculptured at correct angles.

                              The headlight-Faring is good enough, there is a small parking light in the upper side of the headlight, which looks just great, the beam is very powerful including the parking light.
                              Like the DTSis and Karizmas have two bullet type parking lights, the same way it has one in the upper-middle part of the headlight part only.Can be seen only when it is lit with headlight off. a new type in India.

                              The bike should do good in the market, but its LML brand tag will let it down I guess. Its price has to come down if it wants some serious competition.

                              Overall a very good package at price same as Pulsar.
                              I will try to post pics as soon as I shoot them.
