Bajaj Pulsar 125
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 is the smallest motorcycle in Bajaj's Classic Pulsar line-up, sharing its chassis and muscular bodywork with the larger Pulsar 150. It comes in 3 variants, Neon Single Seat, Carbon Fibre Single Seat and Carbon Fibre Split Seat, built around one 124.4cc, single-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A halogen headlamp, an LED tail lamp and a semi-digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity carry over the familiar Pulsar look at a lower price than the 150.
In Autocar India's road test, the Pulsar 125 comes across as the sportiest bike in its segment barring the pricier KTM 125 Duke, with power delivery that stays smooth and linear even at higher revs. Autocar India's test recorded an ARAI-certified 57.5kpl, among the strongest figures in the class. The same test found the factory-fitted tyres don't inspire much confidence in corners, and at 140kg the bike is heavier than its nearest rivals. Even so, it rides like a proper small Pulsar.
Who should buy the Pulsar 125?
Reviews and specifications point to a few buyer types this motorcycle suits best.
Buyer type | Why it fits |
City Commuter | Autocar India's road test found the Pulsar 125 delivers a plush ride and comfortable seating for both rider and pillion, and CBS comes standard across the range to help manage braking in stop-go traffic. |
Mileage Buyer | ARAI certifies the Pulsar 125 at 57.5kpl, and Autocar India's own figures put real-world use at 50 to 55kpl, among the more fuel-efficient options in the 125cc segment. |
Value-for-Money Buyer | Autocar India's feature on the range notes the Pulsar 125 undercuts the larger Pulsar 150 by a wide margin while sharing its chassis and styling, and EMIs start from 1,448 a month. |
Enthusiast | Autocar India's road test calls the Pulsar 125 the sportiest bike in its segment barring the costlier KTM 125 Duke, though the same test found the factory-fitted tyres don't inspire much confidence in corners. |
First-Time Buyer | A low 790mm seat height and a manageable 11.8hp engine make the Pulsar 125 easy to handle, and Autocar India's road test found its power delivery stays smooth even at higher revs. |
Highway cruisers suit this motorcycle least, since the Pulsar 125's spec sheet caps its top speed at 100kph and Autocar India's road test found the small single-cylinder engine tuned more for city riding than sustained high-speed runs.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 price & variants
Bajaj Pulsar 125 price starts at 87.25 thousand ex-showroom for the Neon Single Seat, and on-road in Mumbai the range climbs through the Carbon Fibre Single Seat at 1.09 lakh to 1.12 lakh for the Carbon Fibre Split Seat, spread across 3 variants. Every variant shares the same 124.4cc engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, so the step up from the Neon Single Seat is mostly about seat style and Carbon Fibre graphics rather than any change under the tank.
- The base Neon Single Seat wears a black finish with graphics options, while the Carbon Fibre variants add coloured highlights on the wheels, windscreen, fuel tank and belly pan for a sportier look.
- Front disc brakes, CBS, a semi-digital console with Bluetooth connectivity and 5-step adjustable rear shocks come as standard on every variant, though the rear brake stays a drum across the range.
- Autocar India's feature on the range notes the Pulsar 125 undercuts the larger Pulsar 150 while sharing its chassis and much of its styling, making it a cheaper way into that sportier look.
- EMIs for the Neon Single Seat start from 1,448 a month, keeping the entry point low.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 comparison
Bajaj Pulsar 125 Mileage
Bajaj Pulsar 125 mileage is ARAI-certified at 57.5kpl, among the strongest figures in the 125cc segment. Autocar India's own data shows real-world use falls between 50kpl and 55kpl depending on riding style and traffic, with the bike's 11.5-litre tank, plus a 2.5-litre reserve, giving a range of around 750km on a full fill.
Every variant uses the same 124.4cc engine, so mileage comes down to riding style rather than which trim is chosen. Autocar India's road test found the Pulsar 125's power delivery stays linear and relaxed even at higher revs, and riders who keep to that even pace should get closer to the ARAI figure than those who use full throttle often. Carrying a pillion cuts real-world mileage by around 5 to 6kpl, so solo commuting on the Neon Single Seat remains the cheapest way to run this motorcycle day to day.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 FAQs
Yes. Pulsar 125’s power delivery stays manageable, the riding position is comfortable, and the bike handles easily even without much prior experience. All this makes it suitable for beginners.
In the city, the Pulsar 125 mileage usually falls between 45kpl and 51kpl. However, as per some riders mileage is not as strong as some rival 125cc commuter bikes.
You should start with the service history and engine condition. After that, look closely at the chain and sprockets, tyres, and battery health. Also watch for signs of electrical trouble or rough gear shifts.
A few Pulsar 125 owners report minor engine noise, occasional gear trouble, or small electrical niggles. However, these problems aren't faced by every Pulsar 125 owner.
It usually depends on how much dust and grime the bike was exposed to. Most owners suggest cleaning and lubricating the chain every 500 to 1,000 km.
Questions you may find useful
Hi, I am planning to buy a new 125cc bike for my daily commute. My daily usage will be around 15-20 km.
In the 125cc segment, you have two clear flavours to choose from. On one hand, you have simple, straightforward machines like the Honda Shine, Hero Super Splendor and Glamour, as well as the Bajaj Pulsar 125. On the other hand, you have feature-rich, sporty-looking machines like TVS Raider, Honda CB125 Hornet and Hero Xtreme 125R. Our top picks would be the Honda Shine and TVS Raider in each category. While the overall performance and fuel economy will largely be the same, no matter which one you choose. Bikes in the latter category will have more features and also cost slightly more. What you choose will boil down to your preferences, so we would suggest a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits you best.
