REVIEW : I got the Victor GL in 2004 sept. I have got the
average mileage 50 to 55 KMPL. Before i was doing regular servicing and
was getting the mileage of 50 but now (say 2 yrs) i was not doing
service as requirement. Just changing the engine oil after 3000 or 4000
running. and still getting the same avegare 50. so why i will do the
service regularly????
Till now my bike meter shows the 50,000 KM and i am satisfied with the
engine performance in terms of money. (Till date engine has not open)
only changes 3 times cluch plates (1 time from showroom and another 2
times local) and 2 times chain spockets.
The bike is very sleepry even in the sand and little water.
One thing i have noticed in the bike if i runs the bike 2000 after oil
change and service my bike goes upto 100 KMPH. Belive me and its true.
OverALL, Bike is good if you run it 50 to 60.
Very careful on rainy day and sand and water.
Very economical bike. You do not need to open the engine upto 80,000
km. just change the clutch plate and for me engine oil change after
running 3500 KM.
Not for long drive. very painful at back.
I Generaly runs the bike at an avegare speed of 70 to 75 KM and getting
50 kmpl. If i runs the bike on 50 to 60 still i am getting same average.

REVIEW : I have been using My TVS Victor since October 2003.
Still it gives the average of 70+. I must say the company may be behind
as compared to other bike companies but TVS has more safety features. As
I m going to purchase New bike now, I have decided to take TVS Flame
125.

REVIEW : i got tvs victor gl in 2000 i think, overall its good,
but engine is very hard some times even in long roots it is not a smooth
riding bike seats are cery comfortable, but u can feel the strokes at yr
palm,i recommend to everybody "don't at all give servicing in the
company service centres." it's horrible services they provide you,
i think its better to get services with some outside mechanic with good
knowledge & skills & at last he must be prompt in his work.
that's enough i think

REVIEW : I bought my tvs victor gl in 2003, first three years
it's good in all aspects like mileage and performance. But after three
years it's giving me all problems. Now it's giving me only 42 km per
liter and pickup also gone. Very horrible even after repeated services.
What to do? i never buy tvs product again. very bad product. When i
complained about my bike problems in authorised service centers while
giving to service they r unable to rectify even single problem. Very
very bad bike

REVIEW : Most of these reviews are only rubbish. the bike's
overall performance is very good . engine is completely refined and
provides effective fuel efficiency and pickup as compared to
splendor,passion. even at speed of 70+ the vibrations are really
comparable with other bikes of this segment. i m using it since 4 yrs
and it never troubled me. it has clocked 35000 km but engine is still to
its performance. and 1 more thing is that the shockers are very good and
bike's riding is very comfortable... i m completely satisfied with this
product..);--)

REVIEW : Its an awesome bike. TVS Victor GL is my first bike and
I am still riding it so comfortably since June 17th 2003 (YES 5 YEARS
and 5 MONTHS). I get 62km/l on an average till now. Maintenance
cost is very very low compared to any bikes of Bajaj,Hero Honda or
Yamaha. TVS spare sparts are also comparatively cheaper than rest. I
am a happy owner of a stylish,good looking good mileage bike. Seat
capacity is very spacious for 2 some. I see many ppl have written their
bad experiences with this bike. Let me tell you, everything depends on a
person's luck for everything. I maintain my bike very well and never
over speed(until necessary while overtaking). I purchased this bike
at the time when Bajaj introduced their first Pulsar bike series. I got
TVS Victor GL, mainly due to lower on road cost price(then 42k),low
maintenance cost and less spare parts cost. oh well,"LOVE YOUR BIKE
AND THE BIKE WILL LOVE YOU TOO".

REVIEW : I bought a TVS Victor in 2002. So horrible and poor
quality. 1. It misfires or back fires. 2. Clutch problem- not solved
even after spending 2500 rupees. 3. Tank rusted within 3 years with a
lot of holes. 4. Rust is every where. 5. very slippery tires. 6.
In-effective shokes 7. Meter strucks too often. 8. No pulling power in
lower gears. Please never ever go for such a poor quality bike. Never
believe TVS. It doesnt have any quality. If u dont have a problem then U
are lucky. But if any problem, no one could solve it. Because of
manufacturing defects and poor engineering

REVIEW : Bought TVS Victor in 2003. Big disappointment. Bike
backfires despite regular service at authorized service centers. Tank
developed holes within 4 years, required replacement, and had to do with
green tank instead of black, which was not available. Fuel efficiency
never above 50kmpl despite riding at 40kmph and regular service and
checking of air pressure. All chrome parts corroding despite me living
inland. Overall a disaster to stuck with it. You are unlikely to get a

13)..overall performance average..tank is of bad quality material .if ur
victor is of blue color then it has sure to develop the tank leakage
problem. the engine is good only upto first 25000 kilometres..later u
have to spend money on its overhaul etc...unlike the bajaj and
herohonda...the service centers also average. moreover after riding this
bike for 5 years..the engine developed seirious problems ..stalled. now
under repairs with a big hole in my pocket upto 8000/- yes 8ks i had to
shelve out to get it repaired and start running again....so i have
decided never ever to purchase a tvs product again and not to recommend
it to anyone else either...beware...

REVIEW : I found that tyres are too much slippery and you need
to be very careful while driving not only in rainy season but also when
there is some amount of water or sand on road. Besides this average
never crossed to 50 Kmp. Also speed never goes beyond 65 kmph. If you go
beyond that by giving full accelerator, due to light weight, it starts
flying in air (unstable).

REVIEW : I bought this bike in April,2005.From the beginning
itself, it has some technical problem in the engine like reverse spark
when releasing the accelerator. I think, that dealer(chatrapati TVS,
PUNE) has given me one defect piece. So many time, i went to that
service center, and they are claiming everything is fine. Local mechanic
was able to find the problem. Working fine. Now, again from one month
onwards it"s started giving problem. Vehicle is giving jerk when
accelerator is in low rising. It"s behaving like when petrol is not
available to engine properly. AT the same time, VT-i indicator is
glowing. Mechanic cleaned the carbourator(forming sulphide in
carbourator). He changed spark plug. He changed Electric coil in the
engine mentioning it as weak. Still, the problem doesn"t solved.
Riding comfortness and fuel consumption is good.

REVIEW : I bought GLX with disk past one year. It has good
features like:-
1. i was facing problem with mileage of 50-55 kmpl with speed petrol
but now i m getting 65-70 kmpl in city & 70+ kmpl on highway.
2. brakes are good enough with rear of 130mm drum and amazing disk
brake of 240mm.
3. higher stability even at high speed of 105 km/hr. good aerodynamic
design and well balanced tubular frame.
4. headlight is good comparative its segment. In night it gives
fantastic visibility.
5. great riding comfort. i drove nearly 300 kms non stop from jaipur to
delhi with a small break of 10 mins. there was no backache,pains or
tireness.
But this bike has problems like
1. starting trouble in winters as it takes nearly 3 min. to warmup.
2. get adjustment of sprocket chain very frequently.
3. not satisfied with pickup being 10 bhp and high torque.
4. availability and cost of spare parts in market.
Although, i m fully satisfied with this bike & always recommend
others who wants to buy in 125cc segment.
