TOP 10 MILEAGES BIKE IN THE WORLD

                                       1. BAJAJ PLATINA

The Bajaj Platina is better known for being the most mileage bike in India. The Bajaj Platina has a mileage of 90 kmpl. It is powered with an engine of 125 cc. An amazing feature about the Bajaj Platina is that it has an electric start making it easy for the rider to handle the bike. It has a better load carrying capacity. It has a 5 speed gear box offering the rider an awesome speed on the road. Its battery is powerful and reliable. The long seat of the bike provides a splendid comfort to the rider. It is undoubtedly the highest mileage bike in India.

Bajaj Auto has silently launched the refreshed Platina called the Platina Comfortec and prices start from Rs 42 079 ex showroom Mumbai onwards The new Platina will be offered in two variants kick start KS and start ES The new bike comes with a few mechanical as bajaj.

Bajaj Platina 125 is a discontinued model from the Indian manufacturer. It came with a 124.6 cc, air cooled engine producing 8.4 BHP at 7000 rpm and 10 Nm at 4000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It was a powerful motorcycle as its low 110 kg of weight made it easy to sprint from standstill and return an excellent mileage. The commuter motorcycle was last sold for INR 42,000 while the Discover 125 currently sells in place of this really efficient motorcycle. It rivals Honda CB Shine, Hero Super Splendor, Hero Glamour and all other 125 cc bikes in the Indian market.

                                             2. TVS STAR CITY

TVS Motors were among the biggest players in the 110cc commuter segment at the turn of the century with the Victor range of motorcycles. Sadly for the Hosur based manufacturer, the Victor couldn’t survive the test time and slowly faded away after making a promising start. TVS knew that it couldn’t afford to bow out from the commuter segment given the volumes they register. For this purpose it launched the Star City range of commuters and the new TVS Star City+ is the flagship offering in the commuter segment from the manufacturer. The styling of the bike is similar to any modern commuter motorcycle with a bikini fairing, single piece headlamp, alloy wheels, sculpted fuel tank and the works. But owing to the snazzy graphics and the use of chrome on the exhaust shield and the 3D logo, the Star City+ is striking for a commuter offering. The Star City+ has an analogue dial for speedometer and a digital fuel gauge along with a service indicator and typical TVS, eco and power mode indicator. Switch gear quality of the motorcycle is fantastic and wouldn’t seem out of place on a more expensive motorcycle. Build quality and paint finish is also impressive and the bike is solidly put together and this has slowly becoming a hallmark of TVS products. Riding posture is upright in typical commuter fashion while the fuel tank recess mean that one can snugly hold the bike with your thighs.

Powering the motorcycle is a 110cc displacement motor that generates 8.4PS at 7,000rpm and 8.7Nm at 5,000rpm. The performance of the bike is good with peppy acceleration and the bike can cruise at speeds around 60kmph easily. But once the bike is pushed above its comfort vibrations can be felt on tank, footpegs and handle bar. Power is transmitted via a 4-speed constant mesh gearbox that performs satisfactorily. The single cradle tubular frame has endowed it lively handling dynamics and it can squeeze through the tightest gaps with relative ease. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and hydraulic shock absorbers at the back. The softly sprung suspension setup means it glides over undulated surfaces but the bike feels a bit spongy and wallows while cornering at high speeds. Braking is done via drum brake at front and rear and they do a decent job in shedding speeds. Although fuel efficiency is the forte of a commuter, the Star City+ disappoints with an overall mileage of 65kmpl. Apart from the mileage, the TVS Star City+ is a great commuter motorcycle option and has been priced competitively at Rs 44,000 ex-showroom Delhi.

  

                                          3. YAMAHA ALBA

Yamaha Motors has launched another 106cc bike much like the extension of the Libero G5. Yamaha Alba stands apart with some of the novel features. The bike has an electric start and sports some cool graphics. Alba has all the potential to fit into a middle class family wish list. It is pocket friendly in terms of maintenance and fuel efficiency. It is an ideal bike for the middle class commuters and it renders comfortable riding experience for the rider even though it is not a hi-fi performance bike. In short, it is a bike that contains everything that one can expect from a good bike in this segment.

Yamaha Alba's 106cc engine adopts the similar engine of Yamaha Libero G5 and Crux and it can whack a power of 7.6 bhp @7,500 rpm with the maximum torque of 80Nm at 6000 rpm. Alba has four-speed gearbox connected to the engine. The gear system is similar to the Yamaha's regular shift pattern. However, the perfect engineering of gear ratio helps in controlling the torque levels even at lower rpm bands.

The new age bike from Yamaha Motors adopts modern technology for the build quality. Aerodynamic cowl, sturdy tank, broad seat, ergonomic seat, handlebar, knee recess on petrol tank are some of the amazing features fitted-in to this bike for the matchless riding experience. To offer economy and low maintenance, the bike has been shaped keeping in mind of the Indian driving condition. Alba 106 has a well arranged gear ratio for the convenient ride in congested areas without changing gears repeatedly. Yamaha Alba comes in two variants of alloy wheel and spoke wheel which are known as Alba Deluxe and Alba Standard respectively.

Yamaha Alba is quite comfortable on its broad seat. But while riding we need to lean forward as the wheelbase of the bike is a long one. Considering the Indian road conditions, Yamaha has aptly designed this bike with a good gear spacing ratio to give an easy ride in the heavy traffic without changing the gear frequently. It can offer a good 65 km per liter of petrol in the normal Indian road condition though Yamaha Motors claim that it can run 85 kmpl. Mileage is the deciding factor that makes Alba stand apart from its rivals. It hits the speed limit of 95kmph sans vibrations but the engine cries and makes cranking noise in the increasing speeds.

The Yamaha Alba has a mileage of 80-85 kmpl. It has got light weight alloy wheels and a sporty instrument console. It has an SOHS engine of 106 cc including a single cylinder and 4 – stroke. Riders are happy with the way the Yamaha Alba has shaped up and the spacious seat of the bike provides comfort to the riders. The mileage of the bike is perfect for the riders and many regard it as the best mileage bike in India.

Since the launch, Discover is the one of the most loved brands from Bajaj.

The Discover range of motorcycles have various variants, all of which are underpinned on the same platform. It is available in both Electric and Kick start option.

dia being the largest two-wheeler market in the world mostly entertains affordable, stylish and value for money motorcycles. Keeping this point in mind, Bajaj introduced Discover series in the country, which ticks every column of a prospective buyers’ requirement list. Currently, the series offers 5 models that are differentiated on the basis of engine capacity and style. Out of which, Discover 125 is the oldest model in its line-up, which was recently bestowed with some noteworthy upgrades. This is also the first generation model of Discover series and to keep it competitive against its next generation rivals, it gets a retuned motor for better mileage along with 5-speed gearbox.

The size of the rear tyre has been increased for better stability and control. Moreover, front disc brake has become standard with the 5-spoke alloy wheels. The claimed mileage of the motorcycle is 82.4kmpl that makes it one of the most fuel efficient 125cc commuters ever. On the other hand, it also notes down a top speed of 100kmph. The machine houses a 124.6cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled, 2-valve, DTS-i engine that generates 10.9bhp of power and 10.8Nm of torque. This is the same old engine that has been serving this motorcycle since inception.
