REVIEW : I was planning to buy a bike for last 2 months. For
this I went to the showrooms of almost all the companies,saw many
bikes.My preference was good looking bike but should be able to use for
family purpose also not too costly,descent average & muscular body
as I am a healthy person of 6ft height. Obviously 150cc segment was not
for me.So I started with 100cc bikes 1st.For that I had many options.
- BajajPlatina(I ignored because of no muscular body),Discover
100cc(Many features but small tank of just 8 ltrs,looks very small &
again it doesnt look like original Discover of 125cc,but still I
short listed it for my last consideration),I never liked Bajaj
Exceed.
- Hero HondaPassion + & passion Pro.Passion pro has one
additional feature & that is self start option.Otherwise
technically both bikes are same.I short listed Passion Pro.Splendor
NXG- I didnt even look at that bike,Splendor + is for avg health
persons.So I didnt think of these 2 bikes at all.
- Suzuki-I went to a Suzuki showroom,looked bikes & came out
without talking even a single word to any of their executives
there.So no need to comment here also.Readers can understand
everything.
- TVSStar sport though has good average looks very small so
ignored.Star cityGood look,long seat (good for family),price only 45
k (2 months back, now 45.5 k),Company claims 102 km/ltr average,on
road one can easily get at least 60+(as per users review),16 ltr
tank(Pulsar has 18 ltr tank).So I short listed this bike also.
- HondaHonda has not launched 100cc bikes yet.I saw shine &
stunner.Shine though of 125cc looks ordinary.No sporty look,no
special features like trip meter,digital speedometer,length of seat
is also not very long.Star city & passion pro seats are better
than that of shine & pricing around 55k for (disc
brakes).Stunner is really attractive for young minds.I liked that
bike.But not useful for family.So Honda didnt find any place in my
listing.
Finally I chose 3 bikes for my consideration.
I didnt like Discover look though it has lot of good looking feature
like LED tail lamp,nitrox suspension etc. But it looks very small
because of just 8 ltr tank,its head lamp cowl,though they claim it as
stylish,is also not looking good,only 94.5 cc engine & most
importantly there is no chassis cover,bajaj saved money there(HH passion
pro takes a lead here).So for a person of good health & height it
doesnt suit.So I removed this bike from my list.Bajaj people should
realise after success of Pulsar at least that people want muscular
bikes. They say about Pulsar Definitely male. Does it mean that their
other bikes are definitely females? And when u find that people prefer
only male bikes, why are u offering them other bikes? See all their
other bikes & one will realise my view.
Then comes passion pro.Looks really great.U will find this bike
everywhere on road,in parkings & everywhere.Great seller bike.But if
one thinks carefully & without any preconceived notion he will
realise that its onroad price is 50k & this bike is only 97.5
cc,giving average of about 60 or 60+,no other features, no trip meter,no
LED tail lamps,no pilot lamp & forget about digital speedometer.HH
is selling same 15 yrs old product just by changing name;passion,passion
+ & now Passion Pro.If u add some 4-5 k extra u can get 125cc
bike.So I rejected Passion Pro also.
Then remained Star city.I was about to buy it on Dasahera.But it is
said that,Man proposes & god disposes.TVS was making some changes in
that bike.So it was not available in the market for last 1 & 1/2
month.I went to showroom thrice before Dasehara.Finally I postponed my
plan then to Diwali. Meanwhile I had gone to SBI bank & as I entered
the premises I saw Gladiator, black + purple.I could not stop myself
looking the bike.After parking my bike also I stopped there for a
while.After coming out of bank also I spent some time looking the
bike.Came home & searched the bike on Yamaha site,found its price is
just 52k as mentioned by some users,read comments about it on mouth
shut.com.I found that 99% users have given +ve remark about this
bike.Thank u all!

shut.com.I found that 99% users have given +ve remark about this
bike.Thank u all!
I was ready to pay additional 10k for gladiator.But my luck was
great.On Sunday,two days after my visit to Yamaha showroom,I received a
call from second showroom again.And they said that we have gladiator
graffiti & its price is only 49k.Immediately I called my friend &
went to the showroom which is at least 35km away from my home &
booked the bike.
I feel very happy & proud of my love at first sight.The bike has
great control.We had Discover & Pulsar also with us.If u keep 3
bikes in line u will find Gladiator more attractive than these two
because of its height & length,its fuel tank & attractive tail
lamp & indicators.It has great riding comfort.U will not feel weight
of the bike on ur hand.Yamaha has provided Soft seat for this bike.Avg
is not less than 55.
It would be too early to make any comment about performance of my bike,
so Ill keep updating u. So to conclude I would say if u are not looking
for 150cc bike & u want great mileage with ur budget is around 45k
then in 100cc segment u can choose Discover 100cc for good features &
avg.or Star city for nice looking muscular body,lengthy seat,110cc
engine and good avg.Never go for passion pro just because u will find
plenty of bikes on road.Use common sense.U will not get any additional
features & u will have to pay 4.5k extra.Dont follow others.
If ur budget is around 55k or u want 125cc bike then go for Yamaha
Gladiator.Nice looking bike, muscular body,descent average (in 125cc
segment Dont compare it with 100cc bikes),great riding comfort &
price is at least 10k less than 150cc bikes.Yamaha engines are always
reliable.It has sporty look and u can use it for ur family purposes
also. Ur mom & ur girl friend both will be happy sitting behind u.
This is my honest opinion after some careful study.Every person has own
way of thinking & likings.I have not written this for criticizing
anybody or any company or any bike.I got help from reviews of others.So
to help others in their decision making I have written everything in
detail.But of course one should use his observation & judgment
before taking any decision.45 55k is not a small amount. Best of luck!

REVIEW : Hello friends! As per my almost a 8 months and 15000kms
of biking experience with gladiator i would like to tell few advantages
& disadvantages of the bike:
Advantages:
1. 150 bike feel and look with good graphics compared to others 125.
3. Superb gear box among any other indian bike (speciality of yamaha).
i never tapped the lever twice to change the gear
2. The comfort level of bike is too good.
3. good rear suspensions as compared to other 125 cc bikes they give a
soft ride enough.
4. best handling among 125 cc bikes that makes it easy to go around
edges.
5. mileage varies from 55-64 kmpl depends on the citi roads and riding
style.
6. Unmatched ride stability at any speed. The stability at top speed of
bike is as same as at 40kmph and hence trust worthy.
7. Can top upto 105.
8. Customer support depends on area/city/sate sales. Thankfully good in
pune(maharashtra). I get it serviced within maximum time of 6 hours with
prior appointment.
9. Value for money.
10.Good black coat on each and every part of metal body(even the bolts
and screws) prevents from rust/corrosion
Disadvantages:
1.Has good power of almost 11 bhp but has low rev response and this
makes bike bit lazy in the 1st and 2nd gears but not so bad and
acceptable
2.Rear tyre is too narrow for rainy rides. This might be accident prone
especially on cement roads.
3.Battery provided by manufacturer was not worth for first lot in my
city. Later they rectified but no replacements for sold out.
4. Built quality of bike lies between better honda and crap bajaj.
5. Absence of Chain cover needs frequent attention towards greasing
6. Low wieght at the rear for single person ride makes the bike
sometime unstable off roads(will not be problem if rear tire replaced).
7. Speeding of bike beyond 60kmph can drop mileage upto 40kmpl.
8. to wheelie a bike needs more throttle.
9. If unlucky and got valve problem by chance (due to prolonged filling
of impure fuel/ accident impact on engine) will raise starting problems
and mileage rewiew.
Finally. I would prefer buying gladiator again compared to other 125
manufacturers coz every bike has advantages & disadvantages this
bike has more advantages and less disadvantages compared to others.
To get the best results of your Gladiator do not speed beyond 60 kmph.
change the gears at an RMP of around 3.6 x 1000 to 4 x 1000. Get you
bike seviced after 3000-3500 kms. Atleast have a 1 litre of fuel any
time you ride. Keep the idling of vehicle between 1 x 1000 to 1.3 x 1000
RMP in any season.
This is an honest rewiew from me and hope useful!

REVIEW : I went to Yamaha show room in Hyderabad, two places.
Newly launched in L.B nagar and Narayanguda. Not happy with L.B nagar
people they said they dont give bike for test ride. its funny, who will
buy without a test ride.?? other branch gave a test ride but they have
service center 2km. away. it wont look like a service center at all, its
very dirty and no maintanance at all, felt like I CANT PARK MY BIKE
THERE...(if I buy). other centers too far from my place. So I dropped my
idea of buying YAMAHA with only one reason i.e dirty..dirty and poor
customer service.

i am using yamaha gladitor n i owned it just b4 23 days back i

excellent bike in 125-150 segment
also it can run with pulsar 150
Advantages of gladiator....
- long ride comfort bike .
- good in mileage 64kpl
- can beat honda shine,bajaj 135 xcd,hh glamour.
- new looks that feels like huge bike ...
Disadvantage of bike
- minor problem in kick start ,but excellent in elect.starter.
- size of rear tire should be bigger..
so i suggest frnds to go for this bike.as bike with great advantage
& smooth for pocket ...means good price 54,550 on road but surely
great than shine &xcd135 as it beat them all power.

REVIEW : It is true that this is a good bike in 125cc segment
and can only be compared with Honda shine. However pre and post sales
customer support is pathetic. Here are few problems I faced when I
bought it at Bangalore.
- Not all colors mentioned on website/catalog are available.
- Dealer was not customer friendly. Very unprofessional.
- Bike was not delivered on promised date.
- Bike was damaged at the time of delivery. It had few scratches at
the time of delivery and was not washed/cleaned and had dirty spots.
- Clutch setting were not right.
- There was low pressure in tyres.
During service you will face other problems like unavailability of
parts etc.
My riding experience with this bike is good but given pathetic customer
support I would not recommend anyone to go for Yamaha bikes. I have to
do followup with dealer for three months to get damaged parts replaced.
Previously I owned a Bajaj bike at Pune. I was very much satisfied with
their customer support. Given that there is no comparable bike in 125cc
segment from Bajaj going for Honda Shine might be a better option
(please check that their customer support is better. I have no
experience with customer support provided by Honda in Bangalore).
Summary: With bad customer support you will not be satisfied with
product and will loose peace of mind.

wheelers and 2 wheelers, the breaking system also should be good and the
most important is that the gear box the heart of bike should be so good
as we repeatadly change the gears in the heavy traffic, also the vehicle
should be a little light weight. So please suggest me a two wheeler
which i can buy for dis dushera waiting for ur response.

REVIEW : I m true yamaha fan, i own a yamaha YBX, the handling
is superb, in terms of performance its excellent, i had made quite a few
changes for my bike by changing the graphics, introducing alloy wheel n
inducting broad tyres, the seating position of the bike is also cool,
the backdrop for my bike was the power, lack of fifth gear n disc brake.
When i heard that gladiator was launched i was excited n was planning to
buy it, but atlast i came to know that the bike deliver the same power
as that of my bike. Whichever bike was launched from yamaha in indian
market eg:- ybx,libero, fraser n gladiator all has a same engine. I feel
sad for yamaha that they are losing their ground in the indian market.
The only comeback they could make in the market is that they should
launch 150cc segment motorcycle with good features so that they could
attract customer to buy their products n acquire the shares in the
market n then go for launching other bikes in the segment of 200-250c.c.
bajaj is doing well with his pulsar series,hero honda with its cbz
extreme, tvs with its apache, honda with its unicorn. Come on yamha get
into the 150cc segment bikes market. Ur yamaha fan is waiting to buy
it........ lets go for it chak de YAMAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REVIEW : Yamaha Gladiator features one of the finest engines
which is also found on most of the international 125 cc Yamaha
Motorcycles like the TTE 125, YBR 125 etc which are sold in the USA, UK,
Australia, New Zealand etc.If you are buying or planning to buy a 125 cc
Motorcycle, then the Yamaha Gladiator is the best you can get for your
money. One best thing about the Yamaha motorcycles is that they are very
durable and even after the reboring of engine with original spares, it
again becomes new (as if it is reborn) with all the properties restored
and regained.

REVIEW : Hi YAMAHA lovers,
I purchsed my NEW YAMAHA Gladiator this month, before that I took the
test drive of Honda Unicorn, but it doesn't that effective as Gladiator.
Then I planned to buy Gladiator, bcoz in my list I given the first
preference to Gladiator and then I purchased Gladiator and when I got my
bike from showroom thats my first time when I took its first ride..its
really amazing and that time I felt that..I m very right abt decision to
buy this bike...its amazing...After all YAMAHA is "The King Of
Bikes"..I m damn sure no one can beat YAMAHA. Its really "Truly
YAMAHA".

REVIEW : When I decided to purchase a bike first thing
considered was that it should require low maintenance, give good
mileage, has great control. Then i took a test ride of many other bikes
in between 125 to 150 cc bikes. Some fitted to my requirement but when i
took a test ride of yamaha gladiator- its height impressed me, with good
muscular body it gives me feel of driving 150 cc bike as compared to
pulsar or cbz. Great bike from that point. After 06 months using it
still i feel to use it for long drive. I drive it 03 to 04 times for
long drive to my native place (around 250 to 300 kms) during the uphills
road. Its engine performance and control in the ghat make me happy to
drive it again and again. Just want to thank Yamaha Co. to give us the
extremely good machine. I love it very much.

REVIEW : Very stylish, but not the good-old-yamaha music to the
ears...this one seems to be a tough competition to other models in the
125cc category. Pick up is good, as is with almost all Yamaha models...
but on-the-road mileage may lie below 60 kmpl...
Currently, alloy wheel feature is not provided, just waiting for that
to be added to my brand new bike.
