Here's my II part of review in Here's my II part of review on DISCOVER vs PRIMA 125 vs Fazer which is my last part, I would have continued further more than this but I was so shocked by the shocking response of the members who rated my review out here in Mouthshut.com which has further shut my mouth for further reviewing.
First I would like to start with bike of the year 2005 Discover.
1.DISCOVER(Surely my final temptation)
Well what more to say because you know them well. Well! it's 125.52cc displacement engine with Max. Powerof 11.5 Ps@8000rpm and with Max. Torque of 10.8 Nm@6000rpm. It's Exhaustec technology & DTSI technology is simply lavishing which is why it has been awarded the award of BIKE of the year.
Do you all believe in the saying?First impression is the last impression but it doesn't or may not apply in many cases. My first impression on this bike was not so good especially when it is seen from the side(whack!) The bajaj team needs to be given a bad whack on their back for not including a Tachometer.It has simply a Speedometer, Tripmeter enclosed just below it and a large & useless big Fuel Gauge just like Splendor, had it been small and in place of it should have been included a Tachometer. Oh! I forgot to tell you about the ride control switch, infact I too don't know abt it's use, if anyone know than do write in comment plz.
The seat of DISCOVER is too comfortable to be seated but not like that of YBx.It has an extra large wheelbase and nice suspension and a powerful headlights. But the matter of concern is it's fuel tank capacity, it's just 10 litres. It has an astounding specific output of 92.35Ps/Ltr, the highest for and Indian 4stroke.It uses twin spark plugs which you all know that fires simultaneously.
The 0-60kmph mark came at 6.37sec, 80kmph mark in 11.1s and 100kmph in respectable 21.09sec and posted a top whack of 110+ Kph. The engine is too flexible but just 4 gear.Recently my fren told me, hay bezil go for Discover it's good specially the Black one and with a slight modification would do the trick for you'. So what more just got to showroom now.

Last Words: Combo bike and best in its class.*
2.**PRIMA125
Now this is another bike which left me thinking.My first impression on this was very very respected one, infact I was so stunned with it's style such that I used to bunk my University classes and had the inquisitiveness of reading more on this bike but now my impression has been quite diminishing as you all know that I am longing for 125ers' and now my wait is going to be over with just 7-8 weeks left on my my diary with the choice of 1.YBX 2.Discover 3.Prima125 4.Libero Lx( for it's mileage) and 5.Splendor(another bike recommended by my frens for me).
Actually I was waiting for new launch of 125cc from Hero Honda as I had a message from Honda Executive officer that no such launch has been in progress in near future.
Freedom Prima125 displaces 124.88 cc with BorexStroke- 55.5x51.6, develops a Max. Power of 10.9s Ps@8000rpm, Max Torque of 10.5 Nm@5500rpm with specific output of 87.68Ps/Ltr with much big width of 800m in its class with 12.25 litres of Capacity.
It speeds up from 0-60kph of 7.84 sec and with the slowest 80kph sprint taking 15.77 sec. The top speed which it reached was 102kmph. Recently I had a talk with my one fren who owe this bike but not so good impression was obtained from him, but one thing is highly acceptable and that is its style, and econometer and all that .!
*Rate:6.8/10
Last words: Meant for Fuel Efficiency and A bit more Style than Discover.( I must say with no fingers crossed)
3.FAZER
The Fazer is the next to come with 10.9s Ps of Power and 10.4 Nm of torque at 7800rpm&5500rpm respectively. On the acceleration run, it posted quicker times but upto 40kph it was lagging behind Prima but pulls up to get to 60kph from rest at 7.5sec and extends the margin to 80kph taking only 13.63sec and topping up to 106.5 kph.
I had ridden this bike when I went for my winter holidays, my mama had just got himself this lady cat for himself for 1 week which is blue black in complexion and have a self and Disc brake facility priced at Rs.118, 900 here in Nepal. I took it to my home at a distance of 22 km from mama house and I didn't accelerate her more than 55kmph as it was just new.
God I have this Problem that I treat others bike as mine and I respect them and it's owner but in addition to that it was my mama's bike.Thanks to him. I was surprised the engine revolution and gear shift was too soft and nice I was in love with it and I kept this bike with me for 2 days.For more on this read my review on this titled'Another Dhoom on the Streets.'
Till then bye and choose the best bike you would decide coz u have to own this for an average year of 5 years or so.
