Clocked 10000+ KMs on my Bajaj Freedom 125 !! - Impressions !

I bought the bike in February 2025 , the Bike is really smooth, was giving 95km/perkg in City during its initial 3 Months and on Highways 101-105km/perkg

As you know it has 2 KG CNG TANK and 2 L of PETROL tank as reserve , it has E20 Fuel support !

Now lets talk about issues:

From May 2025 - June 2025 , for 1 month i kept the Bike stranding as it is , after coming back there was CNG leakage issue which is normal not so much of high problem, but it was solved after 1st failed try ,the whole Kit was changed for Free under warranty ! now i will say one main thing , the Bike i OWN is in Bangalore , i would say the SERVICE CENTERE in the BANGALORE for BAJAJ are WORST , the KHIVRAJ is TRUE TRASH and LOOTING money !

After that kit has been changed , my Average dropped from 95 to 83 Drastically , just by changing that KIT , now idk why or what happened , but i dont want trouble or anything , so that kit is still running fully fine without any issues except that AVERAGE problem !

Must NOTE THIS:

Don't choose BAD SERVICE center at any cost , Please ! these KHIVRAJ guys are worst , i reached till CEO and other many high profile person but as usual no REPLIES , i complained to BAJAJ , but as usual they only just fine the SERVICE CENTER or the PERSON 500RS ( i have been told by this via THE GENERAL CUSTOMER CARE PERSONNEL on CALL )

Rest i would say the bike so much much capable ! everything is fine , except seat comfort , i would give it 6/10 , but you can ignore that and Go to aftermarket Seat store and apply foam on it i would suggest !

Rest if you have questions , you can ask me, give your thoughts and other things , thank you so much for reading till here !

Views on my Laptop ! ROG STRIX G16

PS: pricing is in INR and USD, current rates of USD and INR can be different so my INR rates are accurate !

I purchased my ROG STRIX G16 back in August 2024 ! at a price of 1.25Lacs ( 1,302.10 ) !

The Original Price at that time was 1.6Lacs ( 1,666.69 ) , i got discount of 13K ( 135.42 ) , so final price is for 1.47Lacs ( 1,531.27 ), still i got GST Return on Original Price of 1.6Lacs ( 1,666.69 ) , so that was about 24400 ( 254.17 ), so it turns around to be around 1.25 Lacs ( 1,302.10 )

ig its almost near to 2 Years for my Laptop ! no upgrades were done !

The Specs and Exact Model Name:

Model Name: ROG STRIX G16 G614JV
