Some riders have developed a reputation about the Bajaj Discover 100M, that they are incredibly durable and reliable and can go over 1.5 lakh kilometers without any major issues. But others say it's just marketing hype and the bike has its share of problems. Affordable commuter motorcycles in India are a topic that often brings up this debate. Perceptions are very dependent on factors such as maintenance, riding conditions, and individual experiences. The simple design and reputation for easy repair have won it some admirers, or maybe detractors who are the first to admit that problems with certain parts have become something of an issue. There are still discussions among both bike commuters and enthusiasts whether it really is worthy of the "bulletproof" label.
