Does the CT125X Drum’s retro look hit or miss?
The CT125X Drum has a retro feel with modern rugged touches. There is a round headlamp, a simple tank, a flat seat reminiscent of classic commuter bikes. But it also has more modern styling cues such as the V shaped LED DRL, black alloy wheels and the chunky fork gaiters. The blend of old and new has made motorcycle enthusiasts to debate. Others appreciate the nostalgic appeal, and argue that the design stands out amidst the sea of aggressively styled modern commuters. Some believe the acute retro meets rugged styling is confusing with neither really working properly. Often the discussion includes whether the design opens up the bike to diverse age groups, or if it is attempting to be everything for everyone.
It's a hit for me! This is the cool, no nonsense vibe of the CT125X, reminding me of the bikes my dad used to ride. It’s retro without trying.
Miss. The design is that of a retro and modern mix, which Bajaj couldn’t decide between, so they just threw everything in together. It looks confused.
I think it's growing on me. Initially I thought it was ugly, but now I love how it stands out from all the sharp sporty designs.
Retro elements work, but those fork gaiters are off. They're acting like they're trying to be 'tough.'
It's a clever design. Older riders like the retro look, while younger buyers like the rugged touches.
I wish they'd gone all the way retro instead of half and half like this. Commit to the bit, Bajaj!
The build quality is what impresses me more, the design is fine. Unlike some other bikes in this price range, it feels solid.
