Buying a new bike...
I am going to buy a new bike. 
I am only having 125cc/135cc bikes as an option.  Since I want a good fuel economy along with performance thrown in.
The 100cc bikes are too crappy and I cannot afford the fuel economy of the 150cc+ bikes. 
My options currently are Hero Honda Glamour, Honda Shine & Bajaj Discover 135 DTS-i. Tell me which one should I go for ....

Re: Buying a new bike...
Go for bajaj Discover 135CC its the best. I have been using 125CC version of it. the new 135CC has Disc Breakes in it. Go for it. Never go for Bajaj XCD its look is only good but not in body. So go for Bajaj 135cc

Re: Buying a new bike...
@ anand1 - Is the new Discover better ? I am asking that because I have not seen many 135cc Discover bikes around.
@ azzu - I am 178cm in height and weigh 62 kg. 
What a response for Discover. Can anyone tell how comfortable is the Discover 135cc and what is its on-road mileage ?

Re: Buying a new bike...
@ azzu - Any idea about the after-sales service of Yamaha ?
Also I have heard that the Honda Shine vibrates a lot at speeds of 50+. Is that true ?

Re: Buying a new bike...
Hmm.. thanks for the info on Shine. I wonder why Shine is getting so much negative reviews for vibration.
I will test ride the Gladiator too.

Re: Buying a new bike...
Family Guy was confused between Flame & Gladiator, good thing Flame's not in your list , he settled for Gladiator SS.
ask him if you want details on it.

Re: Buying a new bike...
If it's fuel economy that you need, get a Discover. If you need looks and style,get the Gladiator. Try to avoid the Shine.. Rather pay few k more and get the Unicorn.

Re: Buying a new bike...
@ Pathik - I think Unicorn will be out of my range. I am willing to spend max 51-52K.
Any idea what is the on-road price of Gladiator SS / RS ?

Re: Buying a new bike...
Hi vilas....
The Discover 135 with Self/Alloy Wheels/Disc Brakes comes to 55,500 (on-road). Without disc brakes, it will come to approx 53K.
I cant say much abt the mileage now.

Re: Buying a new bike...
My pick would be Yamaha gladiator
Honda shine gets too much vibration on 60+ speeds and braking too is not that good.
don't even think about Flame. It's kind of failure. Like Apache, second edition might click
My pick would be Yamaha Gladiator and next comes Discover.

Re: Buying a new bike...
