Bajaj Platina 100 price in Mallapuram

The buying experience was smooth and quick. Riding experience, well to talk about it we need to talk about a lot of things. The seating position is comfortable but not as comfortable as Enfields, The seat height is tall for me, I'm 5'8. Performance is not that great. 100cc so you can't expect much. On 1st gear, you can't go more than 10 kmph, on 2nd gear, 20-25kmph, 3rd 30-40kmph, 4th 40-80kmph. I've gone to 90kmph speed on it too. But it's the smoothest until it reaches 50-60kmph. After 60 it starts vibrations, and after 70 you'll feel a lot of vibrations but you can comfortably cruise around 60. If you go about 60 you might get less mileage. Keeping Speeds up to 50 kmph gives you 70+ mileage. Speeds more than 70 kmph give the mileage of 40kmpl. You can understand the spectrum of the speed relatively. Going around 50-60 is most enjoyable. Red color Platina 100 looks the best. You can do PPF coating on it since sticker quality is not that great. In my opinion, a few features like 200mm ground clearance, CBS, engine oil window, oil filter, long seat (3 people can comfortably sit), rear spring in spring suspension, kick start, e-carburetor, DRLs, headlight turn-off switch really surprise me that a bike with this less price offers a complete package. Servicing is super friendly but also you have to be smart enough to give the person who's servicing you an early tip and you have to be friendly. That way they'll be nicer with your bike. You can buy the bike but don't expect it to give crazy performance. It'll move from A to B. It'll get the job done. It'll pull even if you have 2 pillion passengers or if you have a lot of luggage since the bore and stroke ratio of the engine is under square so it is basically a long-stroke engine and it can feel sluggish but it'll make the job done if you get used to it.

About the Reviewer

For the indicator speaker, there is no space to fix always noise will be there. In the rainy season, water will get inside the cdr unit, and other electronic components, no engine guard, front brake noise, suspension not working properly but the name is mentioned as 100comfort. Within 8-9 months 3 times the accelerator hideling problems came and still. Totally there is no new bike feeling we had with this bike.

About the Reviewer

The ride was an utter smooth experience. Few accessories which i asked for were already fixed. Windshield was added when I reached there it needed few alterations like in the front number plate bar.
Oh! what a feeling that was. The bike jumps on a flick of throttle. Had to control the urge to twist my wrist. 1st stop was petrol bunk as the bike was in reserve. One should have looked at the people drooling. Metallic gray paint with dash of red colored suspension and rim stickers and few stripes. This bike is all you need to turn some heads and hear some wows.
After around 7 months of riding it in and around Bengaluru, here is what my experience.
Pros
1. Awesome looks.
2. Refined engine but still gets some vibration around 4-5k rpm
3. Great acceleration.
4. The bike feels very light in terms of handling despite its light weight. Not meant to do zig zag in traffic but has decent maneuverability to get you past stuck cars.
5. Turning the bike is a bliss with the low seat height. (i am 5'6")
6. Works like charm. Braking is decent enough to stop bike from 70 km/h to 0 in less than 20 meters in dry conditions
7. You won't need 4,5,& 6th gear in city.
Cons
1. Overall mileage is good. Much less than claimed. It might be due to my riding style. I prefer lower gears in city for quick acceleration.
