            Thank you

            on road price is: Rs.57480 including accessories.

            i may get free insurance as they said insurance will be done freely so the price will be reduced even more. lets see.

            i was also going through Bajaj discover 100, hero honda splendor plus, hero cd deluxe, tvs star city, honda twister.

            bajaj disc- heard the mileage goes down after 3 years
            twister - not safe
            tvs star city - tvs ? half mind over its stability
            cd deluxe - not much running on road
            suzuki slingshot + - comparatively new, good style, mostly positive reviews. brand suzuki, i trust more.

            so,
            hero honda splendor + and sling shot plus were on my mind.
            first test drove slingshot plus, immediately liked it. no second thoughts. so didnt go for test driving splendor +.

                      that's bull-shit.
                      twister - not safe
                      why?
                      tvs star city - tvs ? half mind over its stability
                      why?

                      .
                      my words are in bold.
                      and the question remains why do i race?

                        yes rashid, thats what i found out when i test drove it. pick up is very average in 125 CC range. love the the bike really apart from pickup.

                        bajaj discover 100 i heard from few of my friends that the mileage goes down after 2 or 3 years. but many people also have said it is not like that. its good. but i am confused sayank. thats why i didnt want to take risk.

                        twister- tyre skid complaints so not safe for ME.

                        tvs - i dont trust tvs. its extremely good and extremely bad with its quality.

                        inputs are most welcome as it will give me more details and knowledge about various bikes.
                        but i have made my decision and no backing, its Suzuki Slingshot Plus for me

                          Twister is known as a good bike but I agree with you about the rear tyre. I still am not sure why Honda put such a miniature rear tyre in it. It seems to be as small as splendor's tyre. What you are saying about Disc100 I think is actually applicable for Platina 100. Platina's are not as durable as Discovers. They have different engines. Discovers are better and Disc100 is the only bike in which you can attain real mileage figures of 75-80kmpl
                          But since you like Sligshot.. Apply you mind... Buy it what you like. All d best.

                              see the tyres are in well sync with the handling of the bike.if you don't know how to brake even fz will skid.
