What makes the Bajaj Platina 100 appear to have more engine problems than other 100cc bikes?

A budget bike is expected to do too much. If you treat it well, stick to the service schedule, it will serve you just fine. Mine's been trouble-free for 40,000 km.

The problem is not with the engine, it's with Bajaj's terrible service centers. They don’t properly diagnose issues and just replace parts unnecessarily.

I have owned a Platina and have also owned a Hero Splendor. There's nothing to say it doesn't feel less refined and more likely to niggle.
But is the comfort on the Bajaj Platina 100 really as good as Bajaj claims it to be with their "ComforTec" technology?

The ComforTec isn't just hype. I shifted from a Hero Splendor and the difference in the ride quality is very noticeable, especially on bad roads.

It's ok for 100cc bike, but don't expect miracles. You will still feel it in your back after an hour of riding.

The seat is the weak point. The seat padding is thin, and negates a lot of the comfort benefit on long rides, but the suspension is good.

My friend's Honda CD 110 is more comfortable than I am. The setup with spring in spring really helps to absorb small bumps.

ComforTec is overrated. My old Discover was more comfortable. Faster and the Platina feels too softly sprung and wallowy.

For city commuting, it's great. On highways, however, the lack of weight makes it feel unstable, negating any comfort advantages.

It's all relative. The Platina feels like a cloud coming from a motorcycle with a stiffer setup. At the end of the day, it's still a budget commuter.
Do owners of the Bajaj Platina 100 really have the king of mileage?
29 January 2025 09:29
I’ve been riding Platina for 2 years now and get 75-80 kmpl in city traffic consistently. It’s not the 90 kmpl that Bajaj advertises, but it’s not bad at all.

King of mileage? More like king of disappointment. Within 6 months my mileage dropped from 85 to 60 kmpl. Bajaj's claims are totally exaggerated.

You all need to learn how to ride efficiently. Even after 3 years, I’m getting 85-90 kmpl. The whole point is smooth acceleration and steady speed.

The mileage is good but it is stretching to call it the 'king'. With better build quality, my Honda CD 110 Dream gives similar figures.

I believe the mileage claims to be legit, but only under ideal conditions. Expect around 70 75 kmpl in real world city riding which is still good for a 100cc bike.

The saving grace of the Platina is its mileage. It’s not the most exciting ride, but when you’re getting 80+ kmpl, who cares about thrills?

But, let’s be real, no bike ever gives its claimed mileage. It does better than most, but don’t expect miracles.
Does the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum’s long seat really work or is it just a gimmick after all?
29 January 2025 09:19
It's actually pretty awesome. When you're alone, you can slide back for a more relaxed ride; when you have a passenger, scoot forward. You can also strap stuff to the back part. It feels like it's a built in mini luggage rack.

Gimmick all the way. Why does anybody need that much seat on a 125cc bike? It's just weird to look at and probably changes the handling for the worse.

For a family, I think it's genius. You see entire families on one bike in India. At least it gives them a little room to move.
