The Pulsar 125 is heavier this time but maneuvering is still comfortable at lower speeds, while handling also remains decent. It may not always be the lightest bike around although the riding experience is smooth and easy. The brakes perform better and inspire more confidence. The ride feels sporty enough and the tyres need some improvement. The ride quality is overall good and quite similar to the Pulsar 150.

Pros
Cons

The only dampener is that its design looks much too common, and identical to the Pulsar 150 Neon. But that strategy could well work to the Pulsar 125's advantage, boasting of similar engaging performance, similar dimensions as the bigger Pulsar 150, but in a more fuel-efficient package.
