      Safe, light, and comfortable for beginners
      I chose this bike for my mother. She needed a light bike to visit our farm and temple. She never rode big bikes, so this was best. It is easy to handle, and the seat is low. My mother liked it at first ride. She felt safe and comfortable. It was also low cost, so we could buy it without loan. That is why we got Platina 100 for her. My mother rides this bike daily. She says it is very smooth and soft. She goes to the farm in the morning and temple in the evening. The bike never gave any problem. It starts in one kick. Even on village roads, it rides well. She carries small bags on it. The tyres are strong and don’t slip. It is the best bike for her use. Yes, I think this bike is also very good for women who want a simple and light bike. It is not heavy like other bikes. It is easy to ride and park. My mother now rides it more than I do. She is happy and feels safe. I tell my neighbours and friends this is a good bike for daily work. Platina 100 is a trusted and easy bike for all.

      Stress-free and perfect for short rides
      I bought this bike after my old scooter stopped working. I wanted a bike that does not give stress. Platina 100 was simple, light, and in my price range. I liked the color and design. I ride mostly short distance, and this bike was perfect for that. It does not take much fuel and also feels comfortable. That’s why I chose it. My riding has been very good. It rides smooth and never gives trouble. The fuel use is very low. I ride to market, doctor, and home. I also use it for going to bank and nearby places. It turns easily, and it is simple to park. The engine sound is not loud. Even when I ride for one hour, I feel no pain in my back or hands. Yes, this bike is great for people who want peace of mind. It is not a show-off bike. It is a working man’s bike. It does its job and gives good comfort. I tell people that this is a smart and simple bike. If you want to save fuel and ride every day with no issue, this is perfect. I highly recommend Platina 100 to all people.

Everyone in my house can ride it without problem. It is light and smooth. We needed one good bike for everyone and this was the best one. That’s why we picked this bike. The bike has been perfect for family use. My father uses it for morning walk, I take it to college, and my brother goes to office. It runs well in all hands. The seat is soft and big. The bike always starts quickly. It moves smooth even when two people are on it. It is good for city and village roads. We all enjoy using this bike. Yes, this bike is the perfect for families who want one bike for many people. It is safe, simple, and very fuel efficient. We save a lot of money on petrol. I told my uncle to get the same.

      Honest review without lies. Tried and tested 15yrs
      It was a good experience, purchased from bajaj showroom. Wonderful riding experience. Still in a condition to ride more. Has never made me push the bike mid highway. No accident just one person riding with care. Current average is around 22-25. Service is been local, however parts update has been original.

      Bajaj Pulsar 180 cc (2017 Model)
      Good balanced bike for a First purchase. It has the required power and quick manoeuvres for a city ride. Mileage is around 38-45, depending on the traffic and road condition. Headlight was a little weak, so replaced with a stronger power headlight. The overall experience has been good with this bike.

      mileage and speed
      This bike gives an average mileage of 32-33. The reason for the low mileage is due to the double ignition system, but very good performance. The pickup and speed are also too good. The looks are also good.
