Looks nice.. Supplying Piaggio 125 to army.. Its cleared that ravi piaggio is respectable and responsible company with quality build motorcycles. Now Ravi Piaggio will cut national market of Honda as Honda had already lost international market

aami8389 (Mir Amir Sultan) 2011-10-28 08:00:05 +0500 #470

I think u r right, coz honda has lost its shares in india. Hero Honda is now Hero Motor Corp.........

1) Ravi Piaggio has auto adjustable over head valve mechanism developed by Italian Engineers which results a petrol average of 60 KM / LITER.

Is that true. Can somebody explain what is auto adjustable overhead valve mechanism. Does this means that there is no need to adjust its engine valves clearance or this is some other technology.

Silver_Knife (Silver_Knife) 2011-10-29 15:42:21 +0500 #475

Buddy as far as i know it has nothing to do with over head adjustments, Bike gives around 55km/l below 60km/h.. Due to carburetor

can a common man buy these army bikes too or it is just for army?

ravi piaggio is nice bike but problem is availability of parts
and in sindh even bike it self is hardly avaliable

Jshark (Jshark) 2011-10-30 04:25:52 +0500 #478

Yes piaggio is less expensive than cg125 classic somewhere about 85-87k it is even cheaper if you get it at CSD or straight from factory however nowadays they are having shortage due to demand from the army

Here is the comparison:
Honda at 105,000 has; --------------------------------------------- Piaggio at 76000 has;
124cc engine ------------------------------------------------------ 124cc engine
euro II emission control system ------------------------------- euro II emission control system
13 ltr fuel tank ------------------------------------------------------ 15 ltr fuel tank
fuel average approx 45km/ltr ------------------------------- fuel average approx 55-60km/ltr
Front Disk Brake ---------------------------------------------------- Front Disk Brake
front tire 17" rear 18" width 3.0 ----------------------------- front tire 17" rear 18" width 3.25
No visible engine oil level gauge --- Visible Engine Oil level gauge
head light not powered by battery - Head light powered by battery(no fluctuations)
so the head light is on even when engine is off
Rear brake shoe width 0.8 inch ---- Rear brake shoe width 1.1 inch(better braking)
kick starter ---------------------- kick starter + self starter
no dedicated dipper switch ------- dedicated dipper switch at a convenient place
Dry weight 110kg ---------------- Dry weight 111kg
Fuel gauge on speedometer ------ Fuel gauge on speedometer
Available in Black & Red colors ---- Available in Black, Red, Silver, Grey and Purple
Japanese Technology ------------ Italian Technology
Top speed not checked ---------- Top Speed 130+kmph (as checked myself)
No parking light ------------------ Parking light (even usable when bike is locked)
Euro II introduced in 2010 model -- Euro II introduced in 2007
shorter wheelbase than Piaggio --- Longer wheelbase and great suspension

Conclusion (in my opinion of course) is that the price difference in the two bikes is 29000 and Piaggio offers more than Honda. Honda has more initial pickup than Piaggio. No question about that. If you are thinking about a short race, forget about it. Honda will outrun Piaggio but if it is a 3km race, I can bet every penny on Piaggio. Piaggio once put in the 5th gear, it will outrun any bike in its class. i would go for Piaggio if given a choice. I have had Piaggio for the last 14 months. I have had no problems with parts. Everything is available and Piaggio is the more sensible buy.

Very nice comparison. I am a big big fan of GS150 (Suzuki) though, In this comparison, I would vote for Ravi Piaggio Storm 125. It is full of features and is a reliable technology from the makers of renowned VESPA.
