Re: Which bike -Is there much of a difference between 110CC vs 125cc?

Topic Approved.

There's a noticeable difference between 110cc and 125cc, but you can't say "significant" difference.
You'll have to test ride both to know about this, as we can only describe in words which is basically, not an effective discription.

I'll let actual owners comment on how these bikes are...

Re: Which bike -Is there much of a difference between 110CC vs 125cc?

There is approximately 14% more displacement in engine capacity in a 125cc as compared to a 110cc - as a result, you will get little less fe. But, if you are to ride with a pillion most of the times, a 125cc is what I will suggest as it will put less stress on the engine. And pretending you will encounter stop and go city traffic, low end torque is what you need. Both the bikes are good enough but the Super Splendor is a little outdated and kind of plain Jane. Saluto on the other hand is one of the most underrated bikes in its segment. It has a carb weight of 112 kgs making it extremely nimble in city.

P.S. - The additional power of a 125cc will aid you in your recreational weekend rides. This is from someone with 51k kms on a 125cc! :-)

Re: Which bike -Is there much of a difference between 110CC vs 125cc?

You mostly ride with pillion, you don't mind about mileage and you have budget for 125cc. So better go for 125cc bike.

Not a lot of options you have, so narrowing it down would be a bit easier.

Shine SP - Out of your budget
Glamour - Even drum variant hits roof of your budget
Shine - Drum variant will come in your budget.
Saluto - Cheapest of the lot.

Don't fancy Bajaj, if you're interested check 'em too
Discover 125 costs same as Saluto
V12 costs same as Shine

Take test ride and decide.
