I have been riding this bike for more than two years. Before buying, please consider my review, it will be helpful for you all. i have completed 22000 plus kms in this bike. I got attracted with its looks which is totally different than other 125cc bikes in the market. So, i bought it. Its beautiful, muscular and unique. Definitely, it has eye catching looks. And then there is ins vikrant legacy. I must say bajaj made a fool of the people in the name of vikrant. I am going to divide my review in two parts - positives and negatives. First, positive aspects of the bike : 1. Riding position is very comfortable. 2. Suspension for rider is good for small bumps, normal bad roads. 3. Wider tyre gives good stability on the roads. 4. Unique design, eye catching. 5. Also bassy sound gives a different identity to this bike.Now, negative aspects of the bike: 1. Poor, horrible and pathetic torque, just pathetic, you can not overtake in dense traffic conditions, poorer than other 125cc or 110cc bikes. 2. So much vibration, whether its in low rpm or high rpm, lot of vibration, after 60 kmph, it vibrates like hell, forget riding with pillion. 3. Poor drum brakes, front suspension is poor, even rear suspension is not good at all and no tubeless tyres. 4. Forget riding with pillion, worst pillion seat. Super uncomfortable, narrow and pillion tends to slide down while sitting, pillion have to feel each and every little bump on the road while sitting. Its horrible seat. 5. Poor mileage, 40-45 kmph. 6. Rear suspension makes you feel that air pressure tyre is low, sometimes you feel rear tyre is skidding but not, its just pathetic arrangement of parts in this bike. 7. Poor headlight, poor brake pads and engine oil works for 1500-1800 km only, after then you feel performance declines. Final verdict, don't buy this bike.
