Pros Cons of Bajaj Pulsar 125

Pros

  • Nice design
  • Peppy engine
  • Good performance

Cons

  • Could have had more features
  • Less variants
  • Lots of options in 125 cc space

Verdict

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 has a smooth, refined and decently powerful engine. The excellent ride quality, and impressive stability only enhance its capabilities as a well-rounded commuter motorcycle. The only dampener is that its design looks much too common, and identical to the Pulsar 150 Neon. But that strategy could well work to the Pulsar 125's advantage, boasting of similar engaging performance, similar dimensions as the bigger Pulsar 150, but in a more fuel-efficient package.
