Are tall riders going to fit on a Pulsar 125 Neon?

It fits me perfectly, I'm 5'11". I think it's meant for average Indian height. If you're a lot taller you may wish to try it for size first.

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.

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!
Should you pay more and buy the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Carbon Fibre edition?
29 January 2025 09:56
I honestly believe it's worth it. The bike really stands out and it has a sick carbon fiber look. Bikes are about style, and it doesn't add any performance, but yeah. If you’re going to ride it every day, you may as well enjoy how it looks.

It’s a total waste of money, no way. Essentially you're paying extra for stickers. So put that cash towards better gear or save up for a bigger bike. As is the regular Pulsar 125.

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.

If you’re going to keep the bike for a long time, I’d say it’s worth it. It will remain fresh after a few years with the blacked out engine and carbon texture. And it might have a bit better resale value.

Personally I feel it’s overpriced for what you actually get. If you have the extra cash and really like the look, go for it. There are no performance gains to be had, but it's all about aesthetics.

It's a tough call. It does look pretty sweet on one hand. On the other hand, you could use that extra money on some of the real carbon fiber parts or performance mods. It depends on whether you want to be a ready made or want to customize yourself.

I’d say it’s worth it just for the uniqueness factor. Do you see that many carbon fiber looking 125cc bikes on the road? It’s definitely a conversation starter.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
Bajaj's claims are pretty close to reality as far as my experience is concerned. In mixed city highway riding I get around 65-70 kmpl consistently. It's just not the 80 kmpl they advertise, but it's good enough for a 125cc bike.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
Bajaj’s claims are nowhere near real world efficiency. In heavy city traffic, I barely make 55 kmpl. Maybe it’s possible to hit those numbers on empty roads, but who rides like that in real life?
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.

The secret to good mileage on the Platina is to ride it smoothly. Accelerating hard all of the time and braking all of the time will tank your efficiency. If you ride it gently, it drinks fuel like a small bike.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
In fact, I have found that the Platina 125 is more efficient on highways than on city roads. On long rides, I can get 70+ kmpl quite easily. The numbers drop in stop and go traffic.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
So after 6 months of ownership, I’m averaging about 62 kmpl. Now, it's not as high as Bajaj claims, but it's still better than what I was getting with my old 110cc bike. It's worth the small hit in efficiency for the extra power.
Does the Bajaj Platina 125 live up to Bajaj's claimed real world fuel efficiency?
29 January 2025 09:47
Don’t forget, fuel quality is a huge part of it. When I changed petrol pump, I noticed a big drop in mileage. I have been able to achieve almost the claimed figures by using good quality fuel and keeping tire pressure optimal.
Does Bajaj Platina 125's "ComforTec" technology actually make any difference to the ride quality?
29 January 2025 09:47
It's not marketing fluff, ComforTec is definitely a thing. To put it simply, I had been riding a Hero Splendor and the ride quality is night and day, especially on pothole ridden roads, when I switched to the Platina 125.
