Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 Bajaj Platina 100, a stalwart in the classic commuter motorcycle segment that beautifully marries style and functionality. Renowned for its reliability and fuel efficiency, the Platina 100 is tailored for the everyday rider seeking a dependable companion for city commutes and longer journeys alike. With its sleek design and vibrant color options including eye-catching hues like red, blue, and black, this bike not only makes a statement on the road but also emphasizes Bajaj's commitment to quality and performance in an increasingly competitive market. At the heart of the Platina 100 lies a robust 99.27 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a commendable 8.20 horsepower at 7,500 RPM. Riders will appreciate the smooth torque delivery of 8.05 Nm at 4,500 RPM, making it ideal for navigating through urban traffic and tackling inclines with ease. The air-cooled engine, equipped with Digital CDI and TRICS III ignition, ensures optimal performance and reliability, while the chain final drive provides a direct connection between the rider and the road. With its lightweight build of just 113 kg (249 lbs), the Platina 100 offers nimble handling, allowing riders to maneuver effortlessly through tight spaces and busy streets. The 2010 Bajaj Platina 100 is not short on features, either. Its design incorporates a comfortable hydraulic telescopic front suspension and an SNS-type rear suspension that absorbs bumps effectively, providing a smooth ride across various terrains. The drum brakes, with a 130 mm diameter in the front and 110 mm in the rear, offer adequate stopping power, instilling confidence in the rider. Additionally, the bike's 13-liter fuel tank means fewer stops at the pump, and the electric starter ensures that starting the bike is a breeze, even in challenging conditions. The Platina is not just about getting from point A to B; it embodies the essence of practical riding. **
