I test drove the Disco 100 for a friend last month, and it was lovely. Goot fit and finish, wonderful looks, and great performance. And good mileage is assured because it's it's a Bajaj, and cheap parts/service. It will last longer than a Caliber for sure, esp since the running is so low. In my experience though, Bajaj bikes don't like missed services and bad maintenance.

I wouldn't recommend the Star, because it becomes useless after mere months due to harsh vibes. The bike still runs, but nothing will ever fix the vibes. Even if you get it fixed at every service, they will be back after 2 weeks or less. And the switchgear also goes bust, to the point where there is no feel at all. Just what I have seen on my friend's bike.

As for the Yamaha, service, especially parts availability is quite bad. The engine is butter-smooth though, as is the gearshift. Plastics are prone to crack in the sun and rattle at the mounting points. And as i said on another thread, the alloy wheel spokes are really thin and not confidence inspiring. Also, the Libero/Alba will struggle on inclines with two up.

Thanks for your info bro!!! As far as Star city is concerned, I din't like its looks even though I am not sure of its performance. But now I started feeling Discover100 is good and has a good VFM when compared to others in the same segment .

How about the other previous Discover models ? Are they ok interms life and maintainance ? Could anyone throw some light on this ?

OK i know u didn't shortlisted any hh bike
but again iam just informing u that recently hh had tweaked engine in passion pro claiming 84kmpl only for this model not "plus" one

Did a test ride of the Discover 100 today.
Visited the Bajaj showroom in the evening. First thing I noticed even before I got to see the bike was the Fantastic showroom. Its probably the best showroom in my town(Vellore).The person at the reception immediately responded when i told her that i need to test drive the Discover 100. A service mechanic brought the bike outside, and to my surprise it was not a Black/blue,Black/red,Black/green Discover..It was a RED color Discover 100 which i had not seen before.

My test ride: The bike felt much much bigger than the Star City and there was plenty of room for my arms to extent freely.The riding position was spot on. It felt very much like a big 125cc-150cc bike. I knew my Dad will fall in love with the kind of comfort it offers. To my surprise the Engine and the Gearbox feel was fantastic.I did a 5 minute ride in heavy traffic and still felt pretty much comfortable. After the ride I had a huge smile on my face!! The last two days have been a revelation. Not even in my dreams did i think that 100cc bikes would have become so damn good!!

So we have decided to pick the Discover 100 in the first week of November. Color- The Stunning Dark red color which i took for the test ride!!..

Here are some pics of the bike i test rode.
