When it comes to riding motorcycles, the brand that has become
synonymous with not only looks but also speed and power is Bajaj. Bajaj
auto has become a name to reckon with in the manufacturing of
motorcycles designed uniquely to cater to the needs of every segment of
bike riders. Be it Bajaj Pulsar, Discover
or the latest entry level and maybe the last in the 100 cc segment
Bajaj Platina, a Hobson’s choice in the bike segment and you will not be
cheated. Instead, you are in for a great ride. Here is a short Bajaj Platina review which was launched sometime in the year 2006.
Bajaj Platina is a volume bike, being the cheapest in the motorcycle
segment. The USP of Bajaj platina is its low cost and great performance
with no compromise on its look and style. From the manufacturing plant
of Pantnagar Bajaj Platina has hit the road with price cuts too as the
company enjoys tax-cut and excise sops in Uttarakhand. Be it speed,
mileage, comfort and safety, Bajaj Auto is the ultimate name in the
Indian roads.
Looks: Designed, engineered and manufactured to give
complete pleasure to its rider in the lines of Bajaj CT 100 and Bajaj
Wind models, Bajaj Platina offers all, an enticing look apart from being
the lowest in the price segment of Bike’s cost pyramid. Bike lovers or
not, one cannot simply resist but give a glance to the elegant silver
color and dazzling chrome graphics of Bajaj Platina as it speeds past
you on any road. In contrast to the bright silver color, is the
matt-finished black silencer and mellowed graphite tinted engine that
adds to the look of this great bike.
Bajaj Platina comes with scintillating unique streak designs side
panels with the headlamp being optoprism and clear lens blinkers. The
fuel tank is capped with brushed aluminum, while the speed and the fuel
gauges resemble etched glass. Thus, the onlookers will not satiate their
curiosity till they ride the exquisite styled package of Bajaj Platina.
Performance: Bajaj Platina has a four-stroke, 100 cc
engine with a mono cylinder and good brakes from over speeding. In its
range, Bajaj Platina offers the highest mileage of about 108 km/l after
third servicing with a special feature of spring n spring rear
suspension for a comfortable longest travel. The unique ride control
switch of Bajaj Platina indicates optimum throttle opening to gain in
mileage. The pickup is extremely good and strong and can travel uphill
with a single rider on a third gear. The kick start of engine is instant
even in a spine chilling weather.
The peak power is at 8.2bhp @ 7200 rpm while the newly improved torque with exhaustTEC technology is 0.82kg at 4500 rpm.
Final Verdict: The beautiful sleek 100 cc Bajaj
Platina thus burns fuel efficiently, generates more power, and is
equipped with oil indicator too. The fuel gauge adds to optimal fuel
consumption and greater control. What more? It saves your frequent visit
to the petrol pump (well it’s not on the mileage point I am saying it!)
as it has a large 13-liter fuel tank. The tires are long lasting and
the low end torque aids in mileage gain.
