Some riders have built a reputation for the Bajaj Discover 125 being incredibly durable and resilient in harsh conditions. The stories of how owners bikes have survived crashes, floods and years of neglect with only minor problems are common. Due to this, its fans have named the bike 'indestructible'. But skeptics say this reputation is blown out of proportion and that the Discover 125 is as likely to break as any other commuter bike. The discussion of the bike’s toughness has opened a can of worms about build quality, maintenance tactics and the part user perception plays in the reputation of a vehicle. While some say it is the simplicity of the bike that makes it reliable, others say it’s just clever marketing by Bajaj.
