The stripped down, no frills approach to the design of the Bajaj Boxer BM150 is well known. In a market where entry level bikes are now rolling out with features like digital displays, LED lights and smartphone connectivity, the Boxer is a throwback to a simpler time. The lack of modern amenities has been causing debate among riders. It's argued that certain simple electronics and fancy gadgets are absent in the bike, hence making it more reliable and easier to repair, in case you cannot get to specialized repair shops. But others argue that such simplicity is a disadvantage in today’s tech savvy world where riders will expect features even in the budget models. It’s a question of whether the Boxer’s basic nature is a conscious design choice that adds to its appeal to a particular segment of riders, or if it’s a cost cutting measure that makes the bike feel dated. In this post, we’ll take a look at different opinions about whether the Boxer BM150’s minimalist approach is a strength or a weakness in today’s motorcycle market.
