Bajaj Pulsar 125
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 is the smallest motorcycle in the Classic Pulsar line-up, carrying over the familiar muscular styling of the Pulsar 150 while moving to an all-new platform for 2026. It gets a 124.58cc single-cylinder engine with a 5-speed gearbox, a 795mm seat height and a new diamond frame with monoshock suspension. The engine makes 12.1hp and 11.4Nm, while the bike weighs 131kg with its 11-litre fuel tank filled.
Our road test found the new Pulsar 125 easy to ride, with smooth low- and mid-range performance and a neutral, predictable feel through corners. It is comfortable enough for two adults and can cruise at around 80-85kph in top gear, although the rear suspension can feel springy over sharper bumps and the gearshift lacks some precision.
Who should buy the Bajaj Pulsar 125?
Buyer type | Why it fits |
City Commuter | The smooth engine, light clutch and neutral riding position make it easy to use in stop-start traffic. The 795mm seat also makes it approachable for shorter riders. |
Mileage Buyer | Our testing puts real-world efficiency at around 50-55kpl, while Bajaj's claimed specification and our current listing put the ARAI figure at 57.5kpl. |
First-Time Buyer | The manageable power delivery, low seat and 131kg tested weight make the new Pulsar easier to handle than the previous-generation bike. |
Pulsar Fan | It retains the classic Pulsar styling while substantially changing the frame, engine, suspension and technology underneath. |
Feature Buyer | Higher variants add a colour TFT, USB-C charging, Bluetooth connectivity and three riding modes, giving the 125 more equipment than its basic commuter positioning suggests. |
Highway Rider | It can maintain around 80-85kph comfortably, but its small engine and commuter-focused setup make it better suited to moderate-speed highway riding than sustained high-speed touring. |
The Pulsar 125 may be less appealing to buyers who prioritise the softest ride over broken roads, since we found the rear monoshock slightly underdamped and springy over larger bumps.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 price & variants
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 starts at Rs. 92.99 thousand for the base variant and goes up to Rs. 1.04 lakh for the top variant (ex-showroom). The current range uses the same 124.58cc engine and 5-speed gearbox, so moving up the range primarily changes the seat configuration, instrumentation and equipment rather than the basic performance.
- The Standard Single Seat LCD is the entry point and uses the simpler negative-colour LCD display and single-piece seat.
- The higher variants add a colour TFT display, and more comprehensive switchgear.
- The upper versions also get four riding modes: Sport, Tour, Road and Rain.
- A USB-C charging port is available, useful for keeping a phone powered during longer commutes.
- The top versions use a split seat, while the lower variant gets a single-piece seat. Both arrangements were found spacious enough for two full-size adults in Autocar India's test.
- The base version uses a front drum brake, while higher variants get a 260mm front disc. All versions retain a 130mm rear drum and do not get ABS.

Bajaj Pulsar 125 comparison


Bajaj Pulsar 125 Mileage
The bike has an 11.5-litre fuel tank, and the full-tank range should be around 750km as per our estimate based on its real-world mileage figures. Carrying a pillion can reduce efficiency, so city use with frequent acceleration is likely to return less than steady highway riding.
All variants use the same basic engine and gearbox, so choosing the more expensive version does not change the underlying fuel-efficiency potential.

- It weighs up whether the smallest Pulsar in years still lives up to the badge's sporty image, a question the spec sheet alone cannot answer.

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.
