For short city trips, I ride with my girlfriend, it’s fine. On shorter rides, the lack of power isn't an issue, but it’s noticeable on longer rides or highways. It's doable, but not ideal.

It is honestly a bit of struggle with two people. It takes a hit on the acceleration, and you really feel it on inclines. Good for emergencies, but not for regular two up riding.

It's not bad! The pillion was definitely more comfortable on the split seat version. And riding double is just that, don't expect to break any speed records.

I think it works better at two up riding than most 125cc bikes. The extra weight is handled pretty well by the suspension. Remember, though, that braking distance is reduced.

It's used by my wife and I for our weekly market runs. It’s enough for both of us, but I wouldn’t want to do a long tour with a pillion on this bike.

It's all about expectations. Well it does a decent job for a 125cc. It’s not as comfortable as a bigger bike, but it does the job for short rides around town.

It really depends on the weight of your pillion, I have found. With my kid brother it’s ok. With an adult friend it is a little underpowered. Depending on your usual passenger, this is something to think about.

It’s a really good first bike but I would probably suggest something like Honda CB Shine to absolute beginners. Newbies may find the Pulsar a bit 'jumpy'.

I believe it’s ideal for beginners. It’s comfortable in an upright riding position, and yet, the power is manageable. And it looks cool on top of that, which is a nice plus when you're just starting out!

I began with a Pulsar 125 Neon and then followed this with a 200NS. It was a perfect progression. The 125 taught me the basics, but didn’t overwhelm me. Highly recommend for newbies!
Is the Pulsar 125 Neon really the hype?
29 January 2025 09:59
Honestly, I think it's overhyped. Yeah, it looks like a Pulsar, but it doesn’t have the punch that we associate with the name. It’s like drinking a watered down cola, it looks the same, but it’s missing the kick.

Disagree! Its decent power for instance for a 125cc. And you get Pulsar styling without having to break the bank. Perfect for new riders or commuters looking for a fuel efficient daily commuter.

It's a mixed bag. It's well built and, in the city, it's easy to drive and light to steer. However, it doesn't feel quite as thrilling on highways. If you are primarily riding in urban areas, I would say it is worth it.

If you look at the target audience, the hype is justified. It’s making the Pulsar experience available to a broader group of riders. It’s not as powerful, but it’s a great starting point in the Pulsar journey.
