Was the Discover 150S the best of the 'jugaad' bikes?
29 January 2025 07:57
Jugaad? You are more like a jack of all trades, master of none. Rather, I’d rather have a bike that is good at one thing rather than being average at everything.
Should Bajaj have loved the Discover 150S more?
29 January 2025 07:57
The Discover got plenty of love. Do you recall the TV ads with the guy who does stunts? The problem was it was trying to be everything to everyone, and ended up pleasing no one.
Was the Discover 150S the most comfortable bike in its class?
29 January 2025 07:57
Most comfortable? It was probably not, but it was most certainly up there. I could ride my Discover for hours without getting a sore butt. Try that on a Pulsar!
But did the Discover 150S have the best headlight in its segment?
29 January 2025 07:57
Any fancy LED setup would be my last choice for a headlight, I'd take the Discover's headlight. Simple, effective and it didn’t blind oncoming traffic. Perfect for Indian roads.
Is the Bajaj Discover 150S dead?
29 January 2025 07:57
I'm sure it will be coming back, but with a major overhaul. They wouldn't just abandon the 150cc segment because the 150cc segment is hot right now. Soon expect a new Discover with fancy LED lights and a TFT screen.
So did the Discover 150F live up to its ‘Power of a 150, mileage of a 125’ tagline?
29 January 2025 07:54
Such taglines are the problem because they set expectations that are unrealistic. The Discover 150F is a good bike, but it’s no magic bike. It’s a middle ground, and if that’s what you’re after, it’s fine.
Was the Discover 150F ahead of its time?
29 January 2025 07:54
I definitely think it was ahead of its time. Back then, the market wasn’t ready for a semi faired 150cc commuter, and now we see tons of premium commuters with similar concepts.
Did Bajaj make a mistake in discontinuing the Discover 150F?
29 January 2025 07:54
I honestly believe Bajaj made the right call. Discover 150F was stuck in a weird place - it was too expensive for budget buyers, but not sporty enough for enthusiasts. It just didn't have a clear target, it was just 'a thing'.
Did the Discover 150F's semi fairing really bring anything to the table or was it just a gimmick?
29 January 2025 07:54
Bajaj’s semi fairing was a smart move. This attracted buyers who wanted something a little more premium than the typical commuter, but without the cost of a fully fledged sports bike.
Does the Bajaj Discover 150F live up to its 'king of mileage' tag in its segment?
29 January 2025 07:54
I just don’t think the “king of mileage” title is anything more than marketing hype. Yes, it's fuel efficient but so are many other bikes in this segment. The Discover 150F is pretty good overall, and that’s what matters.
What could be the one change that takes the Bajaj Discover 150 Disc to the next level?
29 January 2025 07:51
Against the grain here I’m going to go, and say the best mod is no mod at all. As it is, the Discover 150 Disc is perfectly balanced. I've tried every mod, and each one has improved one thing and another at the expense of another. Sometimes stock is best.
Did Bajaj miss out on a chance to create a 'Discover 150 Disc Classic' retro version?
29 January 2025 07:51
A retro variant could’ve worked I think, but only if Bajaj had fully committed to it. The retro segment is all or nothing, and half measures don't work, it needs to look and feel authentic. If done right, it would have been a hit for college students and newer professionals.
Is the Bajaj Discover 150 Disc really the hidden gem that some riders have been saying it is?
29 January 2025 07:51
Absolutely! I’ve had my Discover 150 Disc for over 5 years now, and it’s been a rock solid commuter. It's not the flashiest bike out there but it does the job without fuss. Safety wise the disc brake is a nice touch and I've not had any major reliability issues. But it's the unsung hero of the 150cc segment.
The loyal fanbase of Discover 150 Disc, then why did Bajaj discontinue it?
29 January 2025 07:51
I don't believe it was discontinued because it wasn't popular enough. More likely, Bajaj wanted to get people to upgrade to newer models with more features. It was too good for the price point of the Discover, and they couldn’t justify upgrading it without raising the price substantially.
The Discover 135 Sports may have found a 'sweet spot' in engine displacement that has been overlooked since?
29 January 2025 07:48
An interesting idea, but I think flexible engine management has helped to make exact displacement less important. Nowadays, modern 125s can probably hit the old 135’s performance when you need it.
Did Bajaj miss an opportunity by discontinuing the Discover 135 Sports?
29 January 2025 07:48
Huge missed opportunity. For good reason, people loved the 135. With a little clever marketing and updates, it could have been positioned as the thinking rider’s sport bike alternative to flashy, impractical sport bikes.
Was the Discover 135 Sports a design ahead of its time?
29 January 2025 07:48
Definitely ahead of its time. Exactly what many riders are looking for today is focus on usable power and efficiency. Bajaj got the 'practical performance' concept down before it was cool.
