    For all the flak that the SXR 125 receives for its lukewarm performance, it makes up for it with its fantastic high-speed stability and handling. The trade-off comes in the form of a firm low-speed ride, but it does improve markedly with rise in speed.

    The brakes are another positive, as they offer a strong and progressive bite, with the scooter covering 18.25m from 60kph to standstill. We also found the CBS to be calibrated well, and there’s no heavy fork dive when you grab the rear brake lever. However, there’s no denying that ABS would’ve been more than welcome, especially on the rain-soaked road that we were on.

    At Rs 1.85 lakh, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most affordable 40hp bike in India. Would you pick it over similarly priced bikes with less power and features?

    Yes, 40hp at this price is unheard of!

    No, it's a decade-old bike in a revamped suit.

    Great value but doesn't look unique enough.
