The Pulsar series has always been about performance and rider involvement, not necessarily practicality, which is often at the cost of fun factor. But then comes in the Pulsar P125, which is a change in approach from more a balanced, but still a little bit on the cheap side. The bike is certainly practical for everyday use with improved fuel efficiency and comfort features. Yet this has provoked unwanted debates regarding the cost of these improvements to the thrilling riding experience that Pulsars are recognized for. Some riders believe the P125 is tame compared to its siblings, with less peppy acceleration and a lack of sporty handling that made Pulsars stand out. But others say the fun is there, just not in the same way, maybe in the bike’s dexterity in urban traffic or tendency to be ridden enthusiastically without colossal fuel bills. It also discusses if the definition of 'fun' in motorcycling is changing, especially in the segment of commuters.
