Is the Pulsar 150 still relevant in 2025?
29 January 2025 10:03
Absolutely! Pulsar 150 is the Nokia 3310 of bikes, simple, reliable and it gets the job done. Not every one needs or want fancy features.
What’s up with Pulsar 150 owners and their need to make loud exhausts?
29 January 2025 10:03
It is a very cheap way of changing your bike. Engine work is not something everyone can afford, but almost anyone can slap on a loud exhaust.
Can two people ride comfortably on the Pulsar 125 Neon?
29 January 2025 09:59
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.
Is the Pulsar 125 Neon a good beginners first bike?
29 January 2025 09:59
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!
Is the Pulsar 125 Neon really the hype?
29 January 2025 09:59
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.
Does the Pulsar 125 Neon vibrate?
29 January 2025 09:59
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.
Are tall riders going to fit on a Pulsar 125 Neon?
29 January 2025 09:59
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!
Should you pay more and buy the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Carbon Fibre edition?
29 January 2025 09:56
All of that depends on what you want from your bike. If you’re all about practical, you’re going to want the standard version. If you like to customize, however, and you want something that looks a little different but without any of the hassle of aftermarket mods, the Carbon Fibre edition is pretty sweet.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
I think people are being unrealistic in expecting that they will be able to match the numbers the company is claiming. Those are ideal conditions numbers. However, I still get about 60 65 kmpl, which is still very good for a 125cc bike.
Does Bajaj Platina 125's "ComforTec" technology actually make any difference to the ride quality?
29 January 2025 09:47
It's noticeable, but not game-changing. Compared with the older Fazer 8, the seat is too soft for longer rides for my liking, but the longer wheelbase does help with stability. The first hour is comfortable, then a bit uncomfortable.
Is Bajaj Platina 125 a reliable bike for daily long distance commuting?
29 January 2025 09:47
Reliable? Yes. Comfortable for long distances? Not so much. The seat is thin and the vibrations start to get to you after about 50km, but the engine is bulletproof. It's not built for highway runs, but short commutes.
Is the Bajaj Platina 125 really deserving of the upgrade from its 110cc sibling?
29 January 2025 09:47
I owned both of these and it really depends on your usage for the better. If you’re only doing pure city commuting, stick with the 110. If you do weekend rides, or have to take on some hills, then the 125 is worth considering.
I wonder why Bajaj has not added ABS to the Platina 125 when the 110cc has it?
29 January 2025 09:47
Let’s be real, how many Platina riders are riding their bikes so hard that ABS would actually save their lives? This is not a sport bike, this is a city commuter. For its purpose, basic brakes are fine.
Can the Platina 110’s claimed 80 kmpl fuel efficiency be achieved in real life?
29 January 2025 09:42
I believe it's a lot about maintenance. If you keep the chain lubed, the air filter clean, the tire pressure right, you can get pretty close to 80.
When compared with Japanese competitors, how does the build quality of the Platina 110 fare over time?
29 January 2025 09:42
I've had both and the difference is not as big as people try to make it seem. After a few years, the Platina feels about 90 percent as good as a Honda, but for a fraction of the price.
Is the extra cost for the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS worth it?
29 January 2025 09:42
It’s not just the initial price that’s extra cost – you’ve got to also factor in the potential repair costs down the line. That trouble might be ABS on a budget bike.
This is the reason why Bajaj discontinued the Platina 110 ABS so soon.
29 January 2025 09:42
Maybe it didn't sell well? For example, people usually buy 110cc bikes because they are super price conscious. Perhaps the ABS version was too expensive for the target market.
Comparing Platina 110's "ComforTec" suspension to rivals.
29 January 2025 09:42
I really notice the difference as a heavier rider. This bike handles my weight much better than other bikes in this segment.
Is the Bajaj Platina 100 ES's reputation for reliability any different now?
29 January 2025 09:37
Noticed definitely definitely definitely a drop in quality. My old one never did, but my new Platina has had electrical issues. It looks like Bajaj is cutting corners.
Is the Bajaj Platina 100 ES reliability matched by its fundamental features and style?
29 January 2025 09:37
For those wanting an inexpensive and low maintenance model, the Platina's basic design is perfect for both rural areas and people living in rural areas. Not everyone wants fancy features, and not everyone needs them.
