I disagree; it is a fine entry level sport bike. It has legit sporty handling with the full fairing and clipons. It's not a track weapon by any means, but it can help teach new riders good cornering skills.

The fun of having a bike like this is half modding it. Of course, the gains from these tweaks won’t be massive, but customizing your bike and getting familiar with bike mechanics along the way is gratifying.

I believe light mods are the way to go. The bike can be improved without being overboard either by slipping on the exhaust or adding a few frame sliders, or even a power commander.

A K&N air filter and a good tune are all the RS125 needs to respond well. You would be surprised to know that small changes like these can make big difference.

From my experience, the RS125 does get pretty close to the claimed efficiency if you ride sensibly. In mixed city and highway riding, I routinely get around 55-60 km/l.

There is no way it reaches those numbers in real life. I have never been able to get more than 45 km/l even riding conservatively. Bajaj's claims are definitely optimistic.

The answer is really weather dependent on how you ride. Of course you won’t hit the claimed figures if you’re constantly redlining it and riding aggressively. It's not far off but with smooth riding.

I feel fuel efficiency is one of the RS125’s strong points. With spirited riding, this is noticeably more efficient than my previous 150cc bike.

The problem is traffic. The mileage hits hard in stop and go city riding. On open roads, it is much closer to what Bajaj is claiming.

Proper maintenance makes a huge difference about what I’ve found. Keep the chain lubed, tire pressure correct and do regular services, it will get pretty close to the advertised numbers.

For real though, no bike ever reaches its claimed efficiency in the real world. Despite this, the RS125 is still very fuel efficient compared to most bikes in the market.

I am sometimes riding more than the claimed mileage, but I am a very conservative rider. It’s definitely doable if you are willing to get out and ride for efficiency.

There is no way I would tour on this bike. Riding in an aggressive position is uncomfortable after an hour or so. It’s a short ride and commuting bike.

It's all about expectations. It's reasonably comfortable for a 125cc sport bike. If you are accustomed to the larger touring bikes, you will certainly feel being constrained.

I like it for light touring. You can add a tank bag and perhaps a small tail bag and you are good to go for the weekend trips. Don't expect Gold Wing comfort, however.

The small fuel tank is the biggest issue for touring. On longer rides you'll find yourself stopping quite a bit for gas, which can get a little pesky.

It can be made much more touring friendly with a few mods, such as a gel seat cover and adjustable levers. This is a decent basis to work upon.

I’ve toured on mine and it was fine. Plus it’s not ideal by any stretch but if that is your only bike you can definitely make it work for longer rides with some planning.

For me, the vibrations are the deal breaker on long rides. After a few hours my hands begin to go numb. Commuting is fine, touring is not great.

There is less comfort for a sport handling bike, but more than a dedicated touring bike. It’s a great alternative for occasional ride longer than 15 kilometers for most riders.
How does the Pulsar P150 Double Disc’s build quality compare to previous Pulsar models?
31 January 2025 10:06
The P150 Double Disc definitely seems to be a step up in quality. Overall, the fit and finish looks improved as does the switchgear, which is more tactile. It’s nothing premium of course, but better than before.
