Given your height and weight, the Bajaj Discover 125 or the Bajaj Discover 125 M would be suitable options. Here’s why: - **Seat Height**: Both the Bajaj Discover 125 and the Bajaj Discover 125 M have a seat height of around 805 mm and 800 mm, respectively, which is manageable for someone who is 5ft 8 inches tall. - **Weight and Balance**: The kerb weight of the Bajaj Discover 125 is 121 kg, and the Bajaj Discover 125 M is 118 kg, making them balanced and easy to handle for a rider of your weight. - **Performance and Mileage**: The Bajaj Discover 125 offers a 4-valve, twin-spark engine with 13.80 bhp, and an ARAI mileage of 76 kmpl. The Bajaj Discover 125 M has a slightly detuned engine with 11.3 bhp and an ARAI mileage of 65 kmpl. Both provide a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency. - **Comfort and Features**: Both models are known for their comfortable riding experience, with features like telescopic front suspension and nitrox gas-charged rear suspension, which enhance ride comfort. They also have digital fuel gauges and other convenience features. In contrast, while the Honda CB Shine, Hero Glamour, and TVS Phoenix 125 are also viable options, the Bajaj Discover models are particularly noted for their comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency, making them a better fit for your needs.

In mixed city highway riding I get 65-70 kmpl consistently. If you ride sensibly it’s pretty close to Bajaj’s claims.

Marketing BS! Nothing close to 68 kmpl have I ever seen. In the city, on a good day I might get 55 kmpl. Bajaj is definitely overpromising.

That really depends on your riding style. On highway runs I've managed to squeeze out 72 kmpl, and city mileage is about 60 kmpl.

The key is proper maintenance. If you keep your bike tuned and your tires properly inflated you'll see mileage on par with the claimed numbers.

I believe Bajaj's numbers are attainable, but not in actual conditions. I get about 62 kmpl still, which is still pretty good.

No one gets the advertised mileage in any vehicle, let’s be real. Despite that, the Discover still provides great fuel efficiency relative to its rivals.

I have the bike for 2 years and my average is 58kmpl. Not bad, but definitely not 68 kmpl. Don’t believe everything a manufacturer claims.

It's a good mileage but Bajaj should be more transparent about the real world figures. It would help to build more trust with customers.

I replaced the air filter with a K&N and it gave a bit of performance bump. It’s nothing crazy, but it feels a bit more responsive now.

These bikes are just asking for trouble. It's not designed for performance, it's designed for efficiency. So they'll just give you an unreliable ride.

I’ve seen guys install aftermarket exhausts, but let’s be honest, it’s more noise than performance gain. Not worth it in my opinion.

The best 'mod' is good maintenance. If you keep it well tuned, you get the best performance you can without making it unreliable.

I re mapped the ECU and it noticeable made a difference in power delivery. It's not a race bike anymore but it is definitely peppier.

I tried a few mods on mine - air filter, exhaust, even ported the head. Got maybe 1-2 hp more. It's not worth the hassle or the expense.

Focus on handling mods instead. In reality, chasing a few extra horsepower doesn’t make as much of a difference as better tires and upgraded suspension.

I have a friend that bored out his engine for more displacement. Bike's had nothing but problems, but he's faster now. Stick to stock for reliability.

The only mod I would suggest is a good set of brake pads. It improves stopping power without messing with the bike’s overall balance.

If you want performance get a performance bike. It’s a waste of time and money to try and turn the Discover into something it isn’t.
