It is a very appealing commuter for the price
Verdict – The Bajaj Platina 110 was the entry-level motorcycle which fetched quite a few homes in the rural as well as urban markets. As its sole purpose is commuting, it already had what it needs but with the improvement of roads all over India, there are places which are now connected by state highways. In this process, making the Bajaj Platina a 5-speed motorcycle makes it appealing by the commuter audience. Also, calling the additional gear a highway gear is a brilliant technique to showcase the product. The Bajaj Platina is a very affordable and accessible workhorse, with the addition of the disc brake and a 5-speed gearbox it does have a lot to offer to the audience it caters.

The rear suspension is well engineered for comfort and practicality
What’s Cool
* 5-speed gearbox is unique and helpful
* Suspension is quite comfortable and does the job well
* Braking feedback is improved with the optional disc unit
* Ergonomics are comfortable and accessible to all kind of people
What’s Not So Cool
* Overall fit and finish feels quite basic
* Tyres are skinny and don’t offer great confidence
* Does not look fresh, continues with the same design language
