I wanted a performance bike but my dad restricted me to 125cc bikes so I bought the most powerful bike in that segment a.k.a gladiator. The glady I bought is of red colour (feel the enigma version) which I find is more visually appealing than the type j.a.though it would have been much better if the engine would be available in black.
Well I had driven many bikes before (Discover - which I find too noisy and ugly, Pulsar-too low , Karizma-2 scary, Unicorn-just loved it, Apache RTR -real sporty etc.)
Of all these I would rate only the Unicorn and the RTR above the glady .
Now coming to the glady--I must say I didn't expect it to be so good. It's absolutely fantastic.
It gets top marks from me on the looks department. I love the aggressive looking fuel tank most.
The graphics on this version is just 2gud2btrue.
On the perfomance front it can surpass any other 125cc bike any day & the acceleration is quick enough for any one 2 be satisfied.
The milage is decent though not exceptionally gud .
The glady has a very soft seat which can become a cause for concern during long drives.
There are some problems which I've encountered during the last 14 days i.e from the date of purchase
During cold starts while shifting to 1'st gear the bike jumps which is not expected from a yamaha.
The engine also heats up a little too quickly.
Apart from these cons everything's just fine.
This is a bike only meant for the youth and I don't recommend it to be bought by middle aged people
Honda shine proves 2 be a better bike for them.
LIFE ROCKS>>
*I wanted to know whether anyone has tried to increase the performance of the glady. I
need to do so and wanted some advice.please help*
