Default Need to buy around 8 bikes

I'm planning to replace the aging scooter fleet in my factory. The bikes should be cheap, have good mileage and should be low on maintenance. Any suggestion? I have no idea about bikes.

Get a 125cc model, very good price / performance / mileage ratio.
Btw what were scooters being used in the factory and if they were customized then i suppose you will need to customize the bikes also right ?

Bajaj CT 100 or Platina would be good IMO. They are cheap good mileage and low on maintenance.

^ Exactly what I was going to suggest !
The Platina is all the rage these days and I'm sure no one will complain.

Bajaj CT100 suits your need well.Mileage is in the range of 60 to 70kmpl and good power too.

Go for HH. I dont really trust Bajaj bikes for reliability. Best to go for a tried and tested product especially if you want only reliability. Bajaj bikes are for riding pleasure with a good price. But unfortunately reliability is still less than HH.

That is completely wrong. The higher end Bajajs do have some bad gear shifts, but apart from that, they are completely trouble free.

To be honest, almost all bikes in India are reliable enough. Except Bullets I guess!

you just want to make a point that bullets suck

anyways..
spares of bajaj are cheaper as compared to HH but so is the quality.
according to majority of mechanics bajaj engine's lock earlier than HH ... earlier in terms of kilometers and not time... although i'm not sure how much of that is really true.. may be some moto-gurus can shed some light on this...
