My father uses the Bajaj Platina 100 to visit his shop every day. Its 100cc engine and 70+ kmpl mileage make it very light on the pocket. The suspension is soft, which helps on bad roads. The downside is that at higher speeds, it feels less stable. But for short city rides and villages, it’s a very dependable bike.

The Bajaj Platina 100 impressed me with its soft, long seat, which makes family rides easier. It has 200 mm ground clearance, among the best in its segment, giving it stability on uneven rural roads. Additionally, when it comes to the meter, it has an analogue which shows speed, trip & fuel gauge. Suspension is telescopic at the front and twin spring-loaded shocks at the back.
