Can I use a 100cc Platina bike for a 600km travel?

Bike touring is a popular activity in India. However, most Indians get around on motorcycles with engines of 100cc. A bike costing over 1 lakh rupees is outside everyone's budget. Does that imply you can't go on an extended tour if you have a small motorcycle engine? You can if you have a Platina 110, Platina 100 or CT 110X. However, before you embark on your great adventure, there are something you should know to keep your bike in the best shape while you cruise.

Maintenance: If you want your motorcycle to last across rough terrain, you should keep the engine in excellent shape. Instead of taking any chances, change the oil and have a mechanic examine the engine's valves and piston head. Tighten the chain and double-check the clutch and brake cables.

 

Spares: Consult the experts at your service centre to find out which of your motorcycle's parts are most susceptible to wear and tear in harsh environments or during long extended journeys. It can help you determine what kinds of spares you need to bring while touring.

 

Riding: Modern motorcycles allow you to go great distances at speeds. However, you'll need extra caution when riding a bike with a 100cc engine capacity. Stay away from the "red line" or the point where your motorcycle can no longer be accelerated. Instead, keep revs low and travel at a speed of ease. Always remember to speed up and slow down.

 

Putting on the brakes: Motorcycles are frequently seen broken down and parked on the shoulder of highways. Improving your stopping ability will help you avoid collisions. In addition, developing the ability to see further ahead will allow you to react to potential dangers in plenty of time. Remember that the front brake on your motorbike has the most stopping power, and practice emergency braking regularly. So don't be shy about applying heavy force.

 

Here is the list of 100cc bikes which are best for long touring in India.

Platina 110

Design: With a focus on simplicity and dependability, the Platina 110 is aimed at the commuting sector. The aesthetic characteristics are consistent with the bike's well-known status.
