    P135LS or YAM Gladiator?

    Hi friends, thanks for the replies in my previous post. Certainly the replies were useful.
    But i am still confused b/w the above two. Strictly within this two. No other choices. Which is better P135LS or YAM Gladiator?

    Ah tough call!

    Approved
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Question to you - on what all basis have you narrowed down to P135LS & Gladiator apart from the cost? List all of them.

        Good question.. but still.. my call.. P135
        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
        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.

            My vote goes to Gladi. (I was a proudly owner of Galdi before R15)

              P135LS is better option.. it's loaded and can be compared to FZ-16 in performance.

                If you do not have any hiccups with Bajaj, go for P135.

                  You want better performance, mileage and resell value go for P135.
                  You want better reliability, stable performance and tough vehicle go for Yamaha Glad

                    gladi is a nice bike, with very good engine sound, and it has a cowl like karizma.

                      Would be unfair to say that P135 can't give reliable, stable performance and be a "tough" vehicle.

                      From my two week experience of riding the P135LS, I found it as one of the best engine + handling package to have come from Bajaj, not to mention the near perfect gearbox.

                      For proof: How many serious issues have the P135 owners reported on xBhp?



                      In comparision with the Gladiator, the Gladiator with its relatively upright posture and softer suspension would be a bit more comfortable.
                      In performance and handling, the P135LS would have an edge over the Gladiator.

                      The P135LS has slight vibes at around 6000 mark, but post that, the engine again smoothens out.
                      The way the 4 valve engine feels and performs at high revs is a delight.

                        Having tough time selecting a bike and looking for experts’ opinion? Then this is the place for you...

                        I preffered lightweight bike under 150cc. I preferred easy to ride bike.
                        it shud be for both city and Highway roads.
                        upright posture.

                          i would recommend the gladiator for long term usage. It fits all your requirements.

                            I have never said it was -1 for pulsar... Below are my thoughts and experiences.

                            Pulsar has been very notorious in maintaining their performance when we look after 2-3 years of use. Bajaj's engine just gives up, don't know why. Yes, there are people who have pulsar and they maintain their vehicle in topnotch condition. But i am talking about the normal commuter here. As far toughness goes, here pulsar won't be able to edge Yamaha's bike. I have used Crux R for 10 years with out break down and engine was repaired after 6 years of use. As far as reliability is concerned, i am sure i should consider it's a new vehicle, so it's still time to comment about it, But i still gave it to Yamaha Glad because my brother has one.

                              That's a sweeping statement to make, generalizing the P135 on "other guys" experience of older generation pulsars.


                              By the way, apart from the Pulsar branding, everything is different on the P135LS.

                              You have an experience of the Gladiator, accepted. But the moot point is, do you have experience of riding or owing the P135LS..??

                              I have a two week experience of riding, ripping and throwing it round corners. And I am pretty sure the newest Pulsar is no less than any Japanese offering.
