Yamaha's New Gladiator Type SS & RS

Apart from the much hyped Yamaha R15 and FZ, Yamaha displayed new upgraded versions of Gladiator. The Gladiator Type SS (Stylish & Sporty) and Gladiator Type RS (Racing sports). The Gladiator is surely one of the best 125cc in the country and a potential to do much better, with the upgrades the Gladiator looks amazingly stylish and sporty. The new Gladiator would definitely appeal a much younger and wider audience than earlier and hopefully help increase the Yamaha's market share in the country.

hello
The new 125 CC glady SS is super sporty and sexy. could compare with 150 CC also.. The power output is awesome being an 125 CC With 11 BHp ,The looks, design and aerodynamics etc.. is also to be considered. The show room price is 46k . Top speed 110Km/hr. Mileage 55-66 km/ltr.)it depends on ur usage)))When riding yamaha it thrills to rev it up......none other bikes have such feature..Butter smooth>. Dont take my words. ride it to understand it....

Short description abt competition:

Zues/heat: Good only for casual city riders. not enough for long riding.. outdated looks.. smooth and , reliable..poor performance.. top speed 89km/hr mileage 67 km/ltr

XCD 125/- plastic body with best looking low height bike, reliability and performance is very low and quality very low.bajaj isnt confident in their produt,tats y they r continuously upgrading bikes every 3 months. Digital meter... top speed 95 km/hr


Shine- Utter failure From Reliable Honda.. vibrates footrest, tanks when cruising above 60km/hr. mileage is also low. Lck of 5th gear.top speed. not yet tested, not aallowing to test top speed ,it vibrates much..milage 60km/hr

Tvs- Flame-- Good paint job still the same Victor GLX machin, with gadgetry features. reliability and performance drops within in 1 year itself.top speed 96km/hr mileage 58km/hr

Hero Honda. Glamour if u jus a casual rider if speeds below 50 km/hr. nice mileage , suitable for business man. low class income families.. Good product but poor engine performance. rest every thing is gud.. lloks outdated, engine needs upgradation, top speed 90 km/hr . mileage 69-72 km/hr

Thanx anim@trix

Well the Gladi has always been the best 125cc and my personal favorite and now its even better.

With the new features and revamped looks its sure to be a success in its class, moreover might also eat into the 150cc segment to some extent.

Bajaj bikes are the most pathetic bikes, i,ve ever seen. bajaj really need to improve the quality of their products to be in the competition..
