          P135 is irresistible VFM.. 120kms on it shouldn't be a problem.. I did 100kms on couple of weekends.. bike is very comfortable (as you mentioned.. seat is on harder side). It gives you good mileage without compromising on power.

            Firmer seats are actually more comfortable over longer distances.

            The softer ones intially feels plush and is good for short trips but on long trips it soon starts to hurt your bum.

              I learned this hard way through my experience. But as a matter of fact, the foam remains hard only for several months. Due to exposure to Sun & rides, it gets soften over time.

                Also do give the Discover 150 a look.. is light, its torquey, it handles well, gives good FE, it fits your budget and its 150cc. Anyways, P135 is also quite a good choice.

                Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                          i loved it ...

                          anyways @ Trisanmer : P135 surely fits your requirements well... if you want a smoother engine with more reliability you can also look at honda twister.

                          P.S - nothing better than a test ride.
                          happy buying.
