  • 125cc and reliable commuter as daily workhorse!!

    So yeah, as the title suggests, we need new bike as our old 2012 Splendor is giving us too much trouble. And we were looking for another bike anyway, so we had planned for 150-160cc segment initially but as BS-6 norm kicked in, it boosted the price up so they are kinda out of budget for us right now.

    So now we are looking at 125cc bikes:

    • Honda SP 125 BS-6
    • Hero Super Splendor BS-6
    • Hero Glamour BS-6

    • No pulsar 125 as my father doesn't like sporty/aggressive stance (we need a hybrid one LOL)

    • Although SP 125 looks good to me, I am worried about the left side crankcase cover (seems plastic = filmsy?)

    Comfort and reliability is our priority.

    So xBhpians, kindly suggest which one should we buy?

    BTW I I am 20 and I will be using bike as my college commutes and my father also will be using it occasionally.

    And these 125cc bikes have brand new engines in it so I am not sure how it will hold up in the long term :-$

    Thank you.

      Having owned Honda Shine from 2008-2018, I feel it is the perfect bike for your needs. Good mileage, good pickup and all.
