Pulsar 125 or SP 125: Buy?


Bajaj Pulsar 125 price in Malout
Barring the pricier KTM 125 Duke, the Bajaj Pulsar 125 is the sportiest motorcycle in its segment, and its pricing reflects that it shares its chassis and bodywork with the larger Pulsar 150 while undercutting that bike by a wide margin.
Neon Single Seat, the entry model (Standard Single Seat LCD): Rs. 92.99 thousand ex-showroom, Rs. 99.96 thousand on-road in Malout as of November 2026.
Carbon Fibre Single Seat (Premium Split Seat-TFT): Rs. 1.04 lakh ex-showroom, Rs. 1.13 lakh on-road in Malout.
Carbon Fibre Split Seat, the top-spec model (Premium Split Seat-TFT): Rs. 1.04 lakh ex-showroom, Rs. 1.13 lakh on-road in Malout.
All three variants use the same 124.4cc engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, so the price step-up buys cosmetic upgrades and seating configuration rather than performance.
Financing: Rs. 90,000 loan at an EMI of Rs. 1,448 for the base model; Rs. 1,00,000 loan at an EMI of Rs. 1,609 for the range-topping model.

Hi Autocar India, I have a budget of 1 lakh 50 thousand for a new bike, and a 125cc motorcycle suits my requirements. I’ve shortlisted the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and the Honda SP 125, but I’m confused between the two. Which one would you recommend?
Both the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Honda SP125 are great commuter bikes, and it's hard to go wrong with either. The latest Pulsar 125 is a refined, feature-loaded (the top variants, especially so) and decently comfortable machine which should be fuel efficient and reliable in the long run as well. The SP125 has largely remained the same since its BS6 update, gaining only a few features and new colours - it is largely a Shine 125 in different clothes, which means it should be a straightforward and dependable workhorse of a commuter. As we said at the outset, it's hard to go wrong with either, so make sure you get a test ride and see which one you like more before you make your decision. It would also be wise to choose an option that has a sales & service touchpoint near your office or residence.
I’m 30 years old, and a year ago I had a lumbar microdiscectomy at L5-S1. I’m a physiotherapist and ride at least 30 km a day for work. I now want to buy a bike under Rs 1.2 lakh that offers the best fuel efficiency for daily riding. I weigh 58 kg and am 5 ft 3 in tall, and I’d prefer a bike with monoshock hydraulic rear suspension. Which bike would suit me best in West Bengal?
Given your requirements, we'd recommend choosing between the TVS Raider, Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Hero Xtreme 125R. These bikes have very fuel-efficient engines, as well as comfortable ergonomics and good suspension setups, which should help them suit your needs very well. Take test rides of all three before you make your decision to ensure you make an informed one.
Hello Autocar team, I’m looking to buy a bike for my daily commute, and I ride more than 40 km a day. I want a feature-rich bike with the latest tech, good performance and strong fuel efficiency. Could you suggest some bikes that meet my requirements?
You haven't specified your budget, so we'll suggest some options across various price brackets - within reason. The prices we have mentioned are all ex-showroom, Delhi prices and on-road prices will be higher.If you are open to spending Rs 1 lakh - Rs 1.50 lakh, you can get proven 125-160cc options from reputed brands such as Honda Unicorn / SP160, various Yamaha FZ models, Bajaj Pulsar 125 / 150 / N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. These are all straightforward commuters, but the newer variants are packing in the latest tech and features, which is something you value. If you're okay to extend to Rs 2 lakh, then options like the Bajaj Pulsar N250SS, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Hero Xpulse 210, TVS Ronin and Yamaha XSR155 come into the picture. Depending on where you look, you get more performance, more comfort or both compared to the bikes under Rs 1.50 lakh listed above. These bikes will return lower fuel efficiency owing to their larger displacement motors but compensate for that with better performance.Depending on your budget, take a test ride and then make your decision. Should you need more help, please write back to us, and we'll get back to you!
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.
