    Most comfortable 100cc bike

    Hi everyone.
    I need to buy a 100cc-125cc motorcycle.
    The main priority for me is comfort.I ride for about 50kms everyday.
    So please suggest a bike that is the most comfortable for back-pain as I suffer from back problems.

    I prefer bajaj or hero honda.
    1. 5'6" height
    2. daily 40kms commute
    3. Mileage at least 60km/liter
    4. Low maintenance
    5.decent resale value
    6. budget~Rs.55000

    Really like the discover but don't know how comfortable it is(test drive too short) and is supposed to have more maintenance.
    Please comment.

    Thank you.

        Go for the Yamaha Gladiator SS, it is an extremely comfortable bike,
        other than that, give the TVS Jive a look too, it is a light wieght, hassle free motorcycle with good enough fuel efficiency and a comfortable upright riding position! I recommend you to test ride both the Jive and the Gladiator SS 125
        and then come to a conclusion.

        I gun the throttle, the motorbike wails, the forks heave up, the revs climb, my view blurs, air gushes in my lid, muscles tighten, street lights streak. Just another day at work...

          I have heard that Bajaj is soon going to launch the Discover 125 again with some changes...most probably next month.

          You can wait until then and give it a try. It's expected to be priced around 47k ex showroom according to a news...

          If you can't wait that long, try the HH Passion Plus (not Pro). It's a decent 100cc bike which meets all your requirements.
          Signals which are timed for 50 Kmph are also timed for 100 Kmph :)

            Try yamaha ybr 110. If you can strech your budget then Pulsar 135 is the bike with best of both worlds i.e mileage and performance.

              I would really like to know more. How much time span are we talking about.
              I really do like the discover series- time-tested, sleek,efficient and economical.
              But I keep hearing that bajaj bikes are crude and inherently prone to more maintenance problems(than say a hero honda).
              Please comment.
              I personally just cant get over the fact that hero-honda and honda bikes have no 'engine kill switch'.
              I travel through a total of 12 signals during my daily commute and cant imagine no kill switch
              Thanks again.

                New Bajaj Discover 125cc to be Launched in April

                Do the Discover range of bikes have an engine kill switch? I don't think so...

                      Out of these three, Passion Pro is definitely the better one. However, I would suggest you get the Passion Plus and not the Passion Pro.

                      Better still, if you can extend your budget by a little margin, Honda Twister would be even better for you.

                      The Twister has the highest power to weight ratio and is quite reliable. It's a more recent bike and has not had any problems until now as reported by the owners...

                          Is it?? I can still see it on the Hero Honda website. Are you sure your dealer is not trying to promote the Passion Pro by telling you that Passion Plus is no longer available?

                          I am not convinced that it has been discontinued.

                          And what about the Twister ?? Do you not like that bike ?

                            Passion pro.

                              Passion plus was stopped long back say 1.5 years. Only passion pro is available which is not as good as passion plus in engine refinement.

                              @ xbhprider, go for passion pro its is very comfortable. Twister is also a good option.

                              In 125cc category It is shine which has a good resale value and very comfortable as well. Expect mileage around 60 kmpl.
