Reviews of Bajaj Discover 125 M

I bought this bike on 2nd may 2014 and till date have completed 250 kms. U won't believe but rear suspensions are awesome. U will not feel any bump sitting there. Bike is somewhat light weight but 125 kgs is also good. Gears are smooth and mileage is 69km in bhubaneswar city. I know this is unbelievable but bajaj is bajaj when it comes to mileage. This is when we two people (me and my cousin) of total weight 160 kgs are going to our office daily. If you drive it as per companies recommendation of 71 kgs you may get 71-72 in the city. The best way to measure this is to fill the fuel tank with 70 rupees of petrol (because petrol is 70rs /litre here)just after getting reserve for the first time. My bajaj dealers are also not believing that a bike can give only 7 kmpl less than the company's claim. But no one can give you such a detailed review on mileage. Moreover i live in the outskirts where roads are not very good and have to run almost 1/4th of my total journey in 2nd and 3rd gear.

If you want to get the same mileage please run first 500-600 kms at a speed of 40-45 kmph otherwise u will never get this mileage in the whole lifetime of the bike. Don't accelarate too much till first 2 servicings and please control your emotions while accelarating.1-2 Kmpl will surely increase after 2nd-3rd servicings.Just follow this steps and its my guarantee that you will get a mileage between 65-70 kmpl in city.

On first 2 days, i was feeling like, i am riding some 100cc bike but after completing 40-50kms, excellent power is getting generated from the engine. They have also tuned the engine and now even at a speed of 20-25kmph, 3rd gear isn't create problems like previous bajaj bikes.

Style and agronomics are just perfect because you sit in a 90 degree posture which is excellent for your backbone.

Don't compare it with 150cc bikes as their engine are bit powerful than 125cc. But overall this is the best bike in this 55k range (on road).

Pros

mileage, shockers and style

cons

somewhat light weight

Style itz a great gift from bajaj especially for the students..And also for office workers. Starting from the headlight it can focus nearly about 250n to 300 mtrs clearly same as that of hunk.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox comming over to the engine performance. If ridden within the city beyond 50km/hr then no problem but if driven on highways. Above 60km/hr. With single or dual persons a kind. Resistance wil b felt..And after riding it for continuosly for about 45 t0 50km a kind of tiredness from the bike is felt...And the intrest of riding the bike will decrease.

Fuel econonmy is awsome, it gives around 65km/litre. If driven between 40 to 60km/hr, dere alwys a proble in shifting gears especially while shifting it up.

Ride quality & handling riding quality suks after 30 to 40 kms. And frequent servising is needed say about in everry. 4000Kms..Or else..The mileage, goes down.

Final words if you love taking ur bikes long drives say 60 to 70 km in a day...Den dont go for it. U wil regret. Otherwise itz an masterpeice within city limits. And plz...Try to overcome the saying...That bajaj bikes dont have resale values.

Areas of improvement do improve the engine quality i mean make it more rigid for long drives the bike is a bit light. Make it a bit heavy. So that it sustains at higher speed and the chain spoket needs improvement.

Pros

1.Mileage

cons

2.Performance

Style the bike is simple & looks good.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine performance is good.

Ride quality & handling at speeds 40kmph or more the bike starts to wobble. It seems some backward force prevents the bike to speed up. This is the case with the new bike with its first free service already done.

Pros

style, handling

cons

the bike wobbles at speeds close to 50kmph. It seems the ride is not smooth.
