Review of Bajaj Caliber 115


Bajaj kawasaki caliber is a pretty old bike to review but still this is for guys who are thinking to buy a used bike. One can find a 2005 model in good condition at around a decent price of 20-25k. Its a 115 cc bike with 9.5bhp which is very good. The bike is fairly long and has a high riding position which means better its good for taller people. The bike is a performance oriented bike in its segment and has a great pick-up(it is better than the bajaj pular 150cc). It can go from 0-60 kmph in a much quicker time than most other bikes in its segment. It can go upto a maximum speed of around 97-98 kmph in single rider but the performance reduces drastically with another one sitting behind. The fuel economy varies as per the riding style: for a person who drives slowly and carefully(avg.speed of 30-40kmph) the mileage is around 65-70 km/lt and if one stretches the engine(avg.speed 50-60kmph) the fuel economy drastically reduces to around 45-50 km/lt. Another bad side is though the grer ratio is such that the bike requires too much of a gear changing in city traffic.

Overall verdict: 7/10. Good bike to buy as a second-hand.
Positives:-Performance oriented-great pickup.
Negatives:-Too much gear changing.
