Is the Pulsar P125 worthy enough to be the successor of the legendary Pulsar 150?

Question

For over two decades now, the Pulsar 150 has been an Indian favourite, especially for its sporty looks and peppy performance. Bajaj has now rolled out the Pulsar P125 as a more affordable and fuel efficient option in Pulsar lineup. Does it live up to the Pulsar legacy at all? For some riders it’s too lackluster of a ride compared to the 150 and for others its the practicality of daily commuter. Also, the styling is more subdued than on other Pulsar models. Whether Bajaj should have continued with the Pulsar DNA or this new path was sensible to cater to the changing consumer preferences is something that is being debated. Do you think that the P125 has what it takes to fill in the big shoes of its predecessor?

The P125 is a total letdown, no way. Basically, Bajaj just took everything that was cool about the Pulsar and diluted it. The 150 had that raw energy to it that made you feel like a badass. This new one? Just another boring commuter bike.

In fact, the P125 seems to be a smart move by Bajaj. Not everyone will have a need or want a powerful bike for the daily commute. The decent performance and great fuel efficiency hits the sweet spot. Plus, it's way more affordable. It's evolution, not betrayal.

You are missing the point. The P125 is not meant to replace the 150, it is an entry point into the Pulsar family. Funnily enough, it’s specifically for people that want the Pulsar look but don’t want to pay the bank. I think it does a pretty good job at that, and for that.

I’ve ridden both, and in my opinion, hooning in the city is more fun on the P125. It's less weight, more agility, and you can actually use the power you get. The 150 always seemed hamstrung in traffic. It feels just right for urban riding.

Pramod · Answer

So, the Pulsar 150 was not exactly a superbike in real terms. Always a commuter, it had sporty pretensions. The P125 is just being more honest about what it is. And in the current climate market, it’s not a half bad thing. It is practical, efficient and still retains the Pulsar flair.
