We recently rode the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 to bring you a detailed review of the motorcycle. While you can read the full review in our expert reviews section or watch it on the BikeWale Youtube channel, here we look at some of the images from the Pulsar NS125 road test.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 looks similar to the rest of its siblings- the NS160 and NS200 in terms of design. However, unlike its siblings that compete with sporty counterparts, the NS125 rivals traditional commuters thanks to its Rs 99,000 price tag. It features signature NS family elements like the sharp headlamp, edgy fuel tank, split seat,
and the split tail lamp setup. Even the frame and other bits of bodywork are the same as the rest of the Pulsar NS range.
The Pulsar NS125 offers a sporty riding position and with an 805mm seat height, shouldn’t be an issue for shorter riders. And while its kerb weight of 144kg makes it the heaviest in the class, the NS125 is still easy to manoeuvre and move around.
Nevertheless, the suspension setup feels stiff and jarring over small bumps-especially at the rear end. But as we mentioned earlier, it switches sides quickly and feels effortless when sifting through traffic.
Complementing the handling is the 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 11.6bhp and 11Nm. The rev happy motor stretches all the way to 9500rpm and does not feel stressed reaching there.
The only drawback to the NS125’s performance is the braking feel that could do with some improvement. On the other hand, the bike impressed us with its near 47kmpl fuel-efficiency.
When it comes to technology, the list isn’t long. The Pulsar NS125 has a semi-digital instrument cluster, backlit switchgear and a combined braking system on offer.
