Personally, I have outrode a Di125, Achiever and a Libero on NH6 at speeds in excess of 80 kmph, and have lived to tell the tale. And I am no lightweight at 95 kilos!<BR/><BR/><BR/><I> Ok can someone please confirm the number of gears ??????? </I><BR/><BR/>There are 4 gears in all-down pattern.<BR/><BR/><I> how the gearbox,is it the same as the old one (notchy) ? </I><BR/><BR/>The one that I own, has a gearbox which, on rare occasions, throws up false neutrals when I am shifting gears between the 1st and the 2nd, at speeds below 20 kmph. <BR/><BR/><B> But this bike really yearns for a 5th gear. Had this machine been endowed with such, I could have possibly stopped hunting for the next gear at speeds over 70 kmph!!! </B><BR/><BR/>The best part of this bike, which I like most, is the torque aka the pulling power at real slow speeds. May be it is not as strong as its more capacious (read <I> bigger engine sizes </I>) cousins, viz., Pulsars 150/180/200/220, but the price vis-a-vis package balance does provide for some satisfaction <B> ;-) </B><BR/><BR/>Would I recommend this bike? <BR/><BR/>An emphatic "Yes" would be the answer for all those who have outgrown a 100 cc, but still has the laid-back commuter attitude which stops short of making a dash towards the 150 cc+ sports bikes!<BR/><BR/>Cheers and safe riding to all!Satadruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706267092867749075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-884307352393860782007-05-14T11:20:00.000+05:302007-05-14T11:20:00.000+05:30No, the gearbox is better.

Or, if you are really, really rich, use real diamonds and charge the earth.</I><BR/><BR/>Check out: http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/13/philips-and-swarovski-offer-up-crystal-clad-usb-drives/<BR/><BR/><I>Speed builds rapidly and the 135 will eat a 125, any 125 for performance. </I><BR/><BR/>Does it feel the lack of the 5th speed. Could it stand up in a death match against the Gladiator or face the Heat with Zeus?<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>Now, I have a question. If the Disco 135 did remarkably well in the market, do you think it should replace the Disco 125 entirely? That would make sense, would it not? Especially given that Bajaj intends to offer 125cc products in the entry-level (100cc) segment soon...</I><BR/><BR/>Maybe! The Sonic you mean! But then the Sonic will lie bang in the middle of the Discover 112 and the Disco 135!Gliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773633458648790579noreply@blogger.com
