Do the Pulsar N125 have enough grunt to keep up with 150cc bikes in real world riding?

One thing that’s always been debated is whether a 125cc can hang when the 150cc crowd is well tuned. The Pulsar N125 is usually compared with its 150cc siblings and competitors. Does the power difference really matter in city traffic with all the stop and go? But what about when you’re on the open road, or you need to overtake on highways? Some N125 owners say they can easily keep pace with their 150cc riding buddies, others feel left behind. There’s also the question of modification potential, can some tweaks bridge the gap? Let’s not forget the rider’s skill factor either. Is it really about the bike or how you ride it? I would be interested in hearing from people who have been extensively riding both categories.
