Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon: First Ride Review

06 September 2019

Vikrant Singh

The Pulsar 125. It looks exactly like the Pulsar 150 Neon because, well, Bajaj hasn’t bothered changing anything in terms of design or even a single body panel. But it has a smaller engine, a 125cc single cylinder air-cooled unit.
