Honda Pridor Performance VS other Bikes

[amtechnical.waterreg]

Hi... I want to change my bike. I have honda 70 2014 model. My average traveling is 40km daily in lahore.
My requirement is obviously fuel mileage and maintenance cost. Also i have lower back pain issue so i do need a good bike shocks for it.
I came to know that this bike has average from 35 - 60 km from different online forums but i dont know what to believe.
Some said gear shifting and quality overall is not that much good as was before.
Also the price has risen from 140k to 190k now.

So what will be good option for me.
Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same situation of deciding to upgrade my CD70 to Pridor. I have come to know that its seat is not much comfortable. Price also has gone from 1.57 lac to 1.90 lac.
Anybody using Pridor kindly guide which year model is best to buy a used Pridor in terms of build quality?
Buying a new bike is not a good idea imo.

Pridor is a very good bike.and Fuel average is comparable to honda cd 70.45-55km.
Ride is much better than a honda cd 70.
And bike is very reliable also.
Dont go for any specific model.
Go for a bike which is in best condition and resonably priced.
I would advise you to buy yamaha ybz 125.
You can find 2018-2019 models in around 150k.
Much better than honda pridor.
Fuel average is 45km.
Personally using ybz 125 for past 2 yr plus.
Very very satisfied.

its not true i personally took a test ride even on a 2013 model the seat was comfortable the drive was smooth i liked it.

but i find out the maintenance is not cheap also the spares are much costly and the proper mechanic is not easy to find as the yamaha mechanics are not easily available. Also there is a chance of any hidden issue which doesnot show on the test drive but with a little passage of time you realized it. thats why i prefer for buying new items instead of taking chances on second hand.

hi brothers, i have purchased the HONDA PRIDOR 100 1.5 months ago. My experience in general is well. Mileage is around 55km which is good enough. Pick and speed is also good. No vibration noted yet. Kick is still hard but it will be fine. Head light is not ok as it does not cover the road properly. Seat is comfortable also as compare to CD70. Wheel balancing is out even in new bike but as per service center agent its not a big deal as after 1000km on its first tuning each n every thing will be set as per your requirement. Chain is making noise which will also get set on tuning.

so overall my experience is much good and YES IF YOU HAVE 70 THEN 100 IS BETTER OPTION FOR YOU.
But if you wana compare it with other bikes then you should contact someone who is already using that bike.

The only main thing lacking is Self Start as it should be the best value addition along with the Fuel meter and other items also.

yar i want to confirm about an issue i am facing in Honda pridor. Whenever i am in rush or waiting on signal or trying to take U-turn, mean whenever i have to reduce the speed while in gear 1 or 2, the bike engine side (where the chain is bolted) starts making noise of "gar gar gar" like chain is not working properly its hindering / blocking, or skipping or gear is skipping the turn or not functioning properly, and bike is not picking the pace to move forward. however the gear is shifted properly (yani kay chain jahan engine wali side per bolted hota hay wahan say "gar gar gar" ki awaz ati hay jesay chain phans rha ho ya gear skip kr rha ho halankay gear to proper shift ho chuka hota hay). i went to the supplier service center Madina Traders Ichra Lahore and the floor incharge said its the Gear box issue and put the claim but the delivery is still pending. so he send me to their other center MI Traders Bund road Lahore. there the floor incharge said its the clutch problem of all Pridors and no need to change the gear box. he just tighten the clutch and ask me if the issue still available. i have checked it and in 2 days i havn't face this issue but now again after 4 days issue is back. so what is it
