Bajaj bikes will be a lot cheaper to maintain and run compared to HH. Parts/cables for bajaj are way cheaper compared to HH. AFAIK.
Get whatever bike is cheaper. Im sure you can work out a good deal with a dealer if you are buying 8 bikes.
 
what factory work is it?
will they put heavy stuff on the bikes, or just marketing stuff?

platina may improve employee's moral though ..lol

i personally think splendor(all related) should have been phased out 20 yrs back.
its an " uncle's" bike.
 
Maybe I am wrong about Bajaj's reliability. Two of my cousins had Bajaj bikes - the old Caliber and the Caliber 115E and both gave end no of problems. My friend also had an old Caliber which also gave a lot of problems.

On the other hand my CBZ is running for 9 years and 70k kms now and I still love it more than any other comparitive bike like Honda Unicorn, Pulsar etc. And I generally service it only when it stops working !

My mechanic gave me a 2 year old Pulsar to ride and maybe it was not services properly but the engine was already sounding rough, and the whole ride felt bad.

But it could be down to bad luck. My neighbour and another friend had bullet bikes and they never gave problems. But we all know about the reliability of the bullets !
 
BF1983, the Calibers werent great. Bajajs of old(the KB100 era) were super reliable. Then they lost the plot with bikes. The intermediate bikes werent great. The Caliber, Caliber Croma and the hoodibaba bikes were so-so. After that, they seemed have got their groove back.
 
@nikhil

the old pulsar was great.

two of my friends have 150 DTSi , engines locked after soon 50k km or one and other one did around 56k.

current range of entry level HH and bajaj suck, the idle 100c bike was the 1st gen splendours imo.

@dominator

my bro too has pulsar dtsi, some 5 year old... requires oil change every 1000-1200km to keep average in 45-55kmpl range. If not changed, then it drops to 25-30kmpl after 1300-1400km. most HH bikes can do 1800-2000km without oil chance. :peace:

and about engine locking, i clearly states early in terms of distance traveled.

The newer engines maybe better or worse, haven't had any personal experience with that.
