Pros Cons of Bajaj Pulsar 150

Pros

  • Refined 149.5 cc DTS-i engine offering 14 PS of power and 13.4 Nm of torque, ideal for city commutes
  • Comfortable seating and practical ergonomics, suitable for daily rides and pillion comfort
  • Competitive pricing with good fuel efficiency (around 50-55 kmpl) for a 150 cc segment

Cons

  • Outdated halogen headlamp and semi-digital instrument console compared to rivals
  • Lacks high-speed stability and struggles at higher RPMs, especially on highways
  • Performance is overshadowed by competitors like TVS Apache RTR 160 in terms of acceleration and handling

Verdict

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 remains a popular and reliable choice in the 150 cc segment, offering a good balance of performance, comfort, and style at an affordable price point. While its design and feature set may feel slightly dated, the Pulsar 150 continues to hold its own with strong fuel efficiency, decent city performance, and comfortable ergonomics. It’s a great option for buyers seeking an affordable and practical commuter with a bit of sporty flair.

Pros Cons KTM 125 Duke

Pros

  • Sharp Styling
  • Premium components and build
  • Dynamic handling

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance
  • Stiff suspension
  • Rivals offer better value

Verdict

The 125 Duke offers similar road presence, fantastic road manners and a suitably entertaining personality for young riders to hone their skills to graduate to bigger and more performance oriented bikes. And being a 125 cc, it may well be passed off as a relatively 'safe' option, at least while convincing the parent. Considering the KTM 200 Duke is at least ₹ 30,000 more expensive, the 125 Duke certainly offers a relatively affordable and accessible entry into the KTM family.
