Bajaj platina price info


For specifications and price information visit this post
Bajaj Platina is a 100 CC Motorcycle built by Bajaj Auto. It debuted in 2006.
Bajaj Platina is the 100cc bike from Bajaj Auto to take on TVS Star City. The cheaper version will come for Rs 34,500, while the higher version of Bajaj Platina will cost Rs 36,000 ( ex-showroom prices, Delhi). Bajaj hopes to sell about 75,000-80,000 units of Platinas a month.
The Bajaj Platina is based on the CT-100, but with a revised gearbox, fresher body panels and optional alloy wheels. Bajaj also offers the Bajaj Discover 112 in the entry level segment. The entry-level segment is being strengthened by the arrival of the Bajaj Platina. The company will use it new Pantnagar plant to build the Platina.
It is very much visible that all the body panels, fairings, electronics of this bike are borrowed from the successful Bajar Wind 125 Worldbike. It is debated whether it was a wise decision to cease the productions of Wind 125 & Caliber 115. Both were highly successful machines & were the top selling models in their respective segment when the production was cut. Both had exceptionally efficient & smooth Kawasaki K-Tec engines. The smooth engines were quite uncommon in India & were well received by the customers. The K-Tec engines are no longer in use & Bajaj instead uses indigenously developed powerplants.
Bajaj Auto has also announced plans to launch a dual-fuel bike which will run on CNG/LPG as well as petrol. The bike is under development.
