Pros Cons of Bajaj Pulsar NS 125

Pros

  • 124.45 cc engine with 11.8 bhp and 11 Nm of torque, offering smooth and efficient performance for daily commutes.
  • Lightweight at 144 kg, enhancing agility and handling in city traffic.
  • Stylish design inspired by larger Pulsar models, appealing to younger riders.

Cons

  • Vibrations noticeable at higher RPMs, particularly over 5000 rpm, affecting ride comfort on highways.
  • Rear drum brake lacks the stopping power of disc brakes, limiting braking confidence.
  • Absence of modern features like LED lighting and a digital instrument cluster, making it feel less advanced.

Verdict

The Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 offers an excellent blend of sporty design, fuel efficiency, and affordability, making it a great choice for young riders and daily commuters. Though it lacks some modern features and high-speed performance, its lightweight build, stylish looks, and low running costs make it an attractive option in the 125 cc segment. Perfect for those seeking a reliable and budget-friendly commuter bike.

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.
