[edit] Design and styling
The first variant of platina retained the panels, fairing and the tail lamp of an earlier bike by Bajaj, the Wind 125.[4]
[edit] Comfort and handling
The bike has a plush ride without sacrificing handling. It has an upright riding posture inline with other commuter bikes.[5]
[edit] Performance and fuel economy
The engine of Platina is from another 100 cc bike from Bajaj, the Bajaj CT 100. The bike is capable of a top speed of around 91 km/h and does 0–60 km/h in 7.2 seconds. In city traffic the bike returns 62 kmpl.[5][6]

The 100 cc Platina won the 2007 NDTV Profit Bike India-100 cc bike of the year award
