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.

It's worth it, and I have one now and I've had it for a year. It turns heads, it's low maintenance costs, and good mileage. It’s all about managing expectations, it’s a 125cc, not a 220!
Does the Pulsar 125 Neon vibrate?
29 January 2025 09:59
I've had mine for 6 months and yes, there are vibrations, particularly over 80 km/h. It's not unbearable, but it's definitely there. After a while you get used to it.
Does the Pulsar 125 Neon vibrate?

I really don’t think people exaggerate the vibration issue. This is a single cylinder 125cc, so a little vibration is standard. The Honda CB Shine vibrates just as much as my friend’s.

It’s not a deal breaker, but the vibrations are real. Most of it, I solved by switching to better quality handlebar grips. That made a world of difference on longer rides.

I test rode the Pulsar 125 and the NS125. The regular 125 definitely vibrates more. If it is a bother to you, perhaps try the NS version, it is smoother.

There is vibration, but it ain't as bad as some would have you believe. That's part of the character of the bike. Buy a car if you want butter smooth!
Are tall riders going to fit on a Pulsar 125 Neon?

At 6'2" I find it surprisingly comfortable. The seat height and handlebar position work well for me. It’s not as roomy as bigger bikes, but it’s decent for a 125cc.

Tall rider here (6'0"). For short rides, it’s okay, but for longer rides I do feel a bit cramped. Seat could be a tad longer wish.

My Pulsar 125 is ridden occasionally by my 6'3" brother. It's fine for city use he says, but he wouldn't want it for highway trips. I guess it depends on your usage.
Are tall riders going to fit on a Pulsar 125 Neon?

It's actually more comfortable than some bigger bikes. Sporty but not too aggressive, the footpegs are slightly rear set. Good for my 6'0" frame.

They might be a bit hard for tall riders. I'm 6'1" and had to adjust position of handlebar to feel comfortable. If you’re very tall, it’s doable, but not ideal.

It's all about personal preference. I'm 6'4" and I really enjoyed my Pulsar 125. Yeah, I’m a bit big for it, but the riding position is fine. So don’t knock it till you try it!
