Bajaj Platina 110 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Platina 110 is Bajaj doing exactly what Bajaj does best — building a dead-simple, unglamorous workhorse that refuses to die. The SNS rear suspension genuinely earns its reputation on broken Indian roads, and the 115cc engine (they stretched it, whatever the badge says) returns fuel economy numbers that'll make you question reality. Used examples are everywhere, parts are laughably cheap, and any mechanic with a spanner can fix one blindfolded. Don't expect excitement though — this thing has the personality of a tax form. Buying used, focus hard on the front disc brake if equipped, as budget calipers corrode badly when neglected. Check the suspension linkages — they're the one component that actually wears. Mileage matters less than service history here; these engines tolerate abuse but hate dirty oil. Avoid anything above 40,000km unless the price is stupid low. Electrical gremlins are rare but annoying when they show up.
