Bajaj Pulsar NS 125

Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 Overall Review

Traditionally, lower-segment commuter bikes were performance and fuel-efficiency oriented, motorcycle companies did not emphasize looks and design. In the last couple of years, commuter bikes have been developing with sporty and aggressive design. KTM added fuel to the fire by launching KTM RC 125 sports bikes which created hype in the entire industry. Indian motorcycle brand Bajaj has an age-old legacy and fame all over the world, Pulsar is the most prominent model of this brand which entered into market back in 2001. Time and again, Pulsar has been brought to us several times with various upgrades. Pulsar NS 160 is one of the catchy versions of the Pulsar lineup, recently this model has been re-designed as Pulsar NS 125, a sports commuter segment.

In the bare eye, none can separate Pulsar NS 125 from Pulsar NS 160, to keep this bike in affordable price range Bajaj didn’t incorporate the latest features rather made it more efficient to produce a sporty and agile feel. Probably, Bajaj NS 125 will defate KTC RC 125, TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme and others top-notch commuter motorcycles in the motorcycle industry. On the other hand, Pulsar NS 125 will draw the attention of the Bajaj Discover riders.
