Bajaj items have consistently been inseparable from reasonable execution, particularly the Pulsar range. With the dispatch of the NS200 in 2012, the Chakan-based brand took the game to an unheard of level. In the beyond nine years, the NS200 has gotten a few updates and seen two discharge standard changes. This, obviously, has brought about a slow and considerable value climb.
The NS200's cost has expanded from '84,096 (in 2012) to '1.39 lakh (current cost). In 2017, Bajaj extended the rangewith the more moderate NS160, however it, as well, conveys a retail cost of '1.15 lakh. Presently, to grow the reach further with a more moderate choice, Bajaj has presented the new NS125. The genuine inquiry however is this – will a diminutive 125cc engine do equity to the NS identification, which has consistently represented reasonable execution?

Natural LOOK
The Pulsar NS125 conveys a similar plan language as that of the greater NS160 and the close to decade-old NS200. Indeed, in spite of new paint plans and illustrations on offer with the NS125, there is no rejecting that the plan has started to look a bit too natural at this point. The child NS additionally passes up some fundamental elements like a Drove headlamp, a stuff position pointer, and a side-stand motor cut-off. As far as quality, the NS125 feels strong, with noteworthy fit and finish.
INSIDE STORY
The NS125's heart has been gotten from that of the greater NS160. With a drag distance across of 52mm and a stroke length of 60.7mm, this single-chamber air-cooled 125cc unit is an under-square motor. There is adequate snort in the low-and mid-range, which makes it very manageable in the city and cheerful, when you need it to be. The NS125 feels abundantly great at velocities of around 60 – 70km/h and has sufficient ability to hit triple-digit speeds. Post the 90km/h mark, nonetheless, the speed increase is somewhat lethargic and vibrations can be felt through the handlebars, foot stakes, and seat.
Bajaj has adopted a more prudent strategy with its e-carb framework, which ensures that the NS125's choke reaction is fresh and that the motor fires up unreservedly right to the 9,000rpm imprint. Surpassing on the parkway, nonetheless, requires some arranging and, as a rule, even a downshift or two.
Discussing shifts, the NS125's stuff proportions are very much aligned. You can rapidly climb the underlying machine gear-pieces in the city and depend on fourth and fifth pinion wheels on the expressway. The five-speed transmission is smooth and the grip is light.
Out and about
The ride nature of the NS125 is on the stiffer side. The bike over-peruses the street surface, which gets marginal irritating. Be that as it may, it brings about the ideal result on twisty segments of the street, offering firm, positive taking care of and lively execution. Its agreeable rider's triangle further adds to its general ride insight. The clasp on handlebars are generally lower, and the foot stakes are back set, giving the NS125 an energetic riding position.
The bike handles astonishingly. The general frame arrangement helps the NS125 conceal its 144kgs of kerb weight. The bicycle has speedy and sharp turn-ins and feels exceptionally surefooted, attributable to its firm suspension. In any case, the Ceat tires are not excellent as far as inciting certainty – a couple of MRFs would have been perfect.
Halting Force
The NS125's preventing power comes from a plate brake at the front – which, incidentally, is more modest than that of the NS160 – and a drum arrangement at the back. There is some opportunity to get better as far as the adjustment of the stopping mechanism and you don't get any criticism, neither from the switch nor from the pedal. The slowing down equipment on the NS125 needs a redesign, and we presume that Bajaj might offer a back circle variation soon.
Decision
The valuing of the NS125 is very like that of the Pulsar 150 Neon release, which has a bigger engine and makes more force and force. Indeed, in case you are hoping to spend around '1 lakh on a bicycle, the Yamaha FZ FiM is likewise an alternative to consider. While both may seem like more reasonable alternatives, it wouldn't be advocated to totally limit the NS125. It does, all things considered, have better underpinnings and equipment that make it more captivating to ride.
The NS125 is very acceptable as far as ordinary ease of use and offers a dash of liveliness in the manner it rides. Indeed, I would venture to say that it offers a more including ride than certain bikes in the 150cc section. Indeed, it falls behind as far as components and has a somewhat dated plan, however like most Bajaj contributions, the NS125, as well, offers a powerful bundle at an appealing value point.
