Bajaj Platina 100cc was introduced in the year 2006 and was based on CT-100. It was categorized in the entry-level segment . The bike was introduced into the markets as the cheapest bike of its segment that competed with Hero Honda. From the time of introduction the bike has been popular with the buyers in India and outside India also, due to its reduced cost and performance.
And now Bajaj has unveiled the 125c version of its bread and butter model. The 125cc unit is the same as present in the XCD and sports Bajaj trademark Exhaus-Tec technology. The killer looks of Platina 125 includes premium alloy wheels, twin headlamps, matt finished black silencer, sportyconsole, sleek chrome graphics, graphite tinted engine with transmission and chrome streaked side panels.
