The Bajaj Platina 125 takes the cake for now as it thrums smoothly along with the rest among the other motorcycles in India designed for commuting, thanks to its unparalleled advantages of fuel efficiency, comfort, and cost. The ‘Mileage King’ continues into 2024, adding up with contemporary styling and practical features, making an added appeal to modern riders. Traffic in the city or highways, the Platina 125, strategically speaking, is a fuss-free ownership experience and keeps running costs fantastically low.
New Sleek Design
Styling, implementing the principles of premium touch-enhancements, has come alive in the Platina 125. LED headlamp with signature DRLs ushers in modern face creation, while chrome accents on the fuel tank and exhaust provide class. Someone could ride for the entire day with superb comfort thanks to ergonomically crafted long seating, with the 135mm ground clearance crossing bumps and blockages very easily. The light Platina boasts a frame of just 125kg, rendering tremendous maneuverability for city travel.
Fuel Efficient Performer
Beneath the skin is Bajaj’s own tested 124.6cc DTS-i engine, capable of generating an 8.6 bhp and 9.81 Nm torque. This air-cooled workhorse derives an unbelievable 70 km to a liter (claimed by the company) from the optimized-combustion and reduced-friction technologies it carries. The engine has been matched to an extremely smooth 5-speed on which relaxed cruising at lower speeds is possible over highways that lower vibrations and fatigue.
Comfort-Oriented Ride Dynamics
The Bajaj Platina 125 takes the cake as far as riding comfort is concerned. Additionally, the patented spring-in-spring rear suspension by Bajaj absorbs most of the bumps on the road, while the long wheelbase and upright riding position give it a stable feeling. The 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels with wider rear tires further boost this model’s grip across varying road conditions. The well cushioned seat and well-aligned footpegs help to create a natural posture, minimizing strain during long-distance rides.
Practical Features For Daily Use
The new Platina 125 has seen several smart but wise features such as that semi-digital instrument cluster with the gear position indicator. There is little hassle of ownership with a maintenance-free battery and tubeless tires, while single-channel ABS is an option for safety during sudden braking. The 11-liter fuel tank has an amazing 700-plus km range between fill-ups, just perfect for long-distance regular riders.
Pricing
Available for ₹68,000-₹75,000 (ex-showroom), Platina 125 happens to cut under most of the 125cc competition, weighing many more miles to the gallon against almost all competitors. Low-cost services with spare parts maintenance add to Bajaj’s network service wide. Therefore, a person can expect annual servicing to cost just ₹1,500-₹2,000 from here. Bike reliability ensures that resale could be considered better even a few years after the purchase.
