After searching for long time, I decided to buy Yamaha Gladiator. I wanted to buy Pulsar 180 CC but I did not want to go for a loan option, so I decided to go for a 125 cc bike. Previously I had TVS victor (One of the best bike in 100 CC segment), Hero Honda Karizma (Best in its class and I sold it as I was looking for a mileage bike now) and Honda Stunner (I still have it but I will not call it best). The options available were Hero Honda Super Splender 125CC, Passion, TVS Flame, Bajaj Exceed, Discover DTSi 125 and recently launch (at that time) Bajaj Pulsar 135.


After calculating all the pluses and minuses I settled for Yamaha and I got following results after 4 services and 10000 Kms.


Looks: This was the first thing I was looking for and depends entirely on personal opinion. I found it nice looking bike in crowd. Every where from from light till tale, Yamaha has done a beautiful job. The only thing I did not like is the side indicators (They are a bit small) but they work normally with no issues at all.


Comfort & Reliability: One of the best bikes in the class. I had to go to agra from Ghaziabad in an emergency situation and my car had some issues so I went on Gladiatorand there were absolutely 0.00 problems in the journey. That day I drove it around 500 Kms. The Comfort Level was amazing and I found it better then my "Honda Stunner". The shock Absorbers are good and you can take it to any road of your choice.


Engine and Fuel Economy: The Engine is smooth and till now no issues. The only thing I do is to take the bike for servicing on time and get the engine oil changed. The noise is normal and no extra sound.


Top Speed: The top speed claimed by Yamaha was 110 KMPH but its actually 105 (full throttle). The bike is smooth till 90 and after that you can feel the engine putting effort to reach 105.


Problems: There are two issues with the bike:


1) The initial pick up of the bike is not exciting. Being a Yamaha bike we expect little more as other bikes have better pick up in same segment.


2) The rear Tyre is Thin. They could have used a better one because at high speeds you may fall if you apply brakes suddenly. In normal conditions braking is fine.


If you can adjust with these two problems, Go for it. Its a really good bike.


Regards,


Dinesh Nim
