Q. Which is better Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon or TVS Raider?

    Slightly high 

    Pulsar 125 is a commuter segment vehicle, So it's not a performance oriented one.Riding position is good and it's also good for taller guys.Overall weight is little big, But some times the weight is good for stability and handling (it's only included in the times of cornering and build quality matters).I will get 45 kmpl mileage in non traffic straight rode.The top end speed is 113 kmph but if you cover 70 kmph, Vibration level is at the peak and at this time the engine wil produce excess heat and it will irritating your legs (especially right leg).Chain portion is a curse of pulsar bikes so it will also disturbed you in this bike at every 500 kms (loosed chain and sounds from inner sprocket section).Service cost is slightly high in authorized service centers.After sales service is depends on your dealer; i think popular bajaj is gives you better service experience.No extra features like gear position indicator, Usb charging port, Bluetooth connectivity, Abs etc.Abs system replaced by combi system in to this bike.

    My Experience with the Bajaj Pulsar 125 

    After a year of using the Bajaj Pulsar 125, I am ready to share my thoughts on this popular commuter bike. This model's engine performance with its 124 cc DTS-i engine produces a reasonable 11.8 PS power makes it suitable for daily city rides. The bike is fuel efficient which is a great plus, offering around 50 to 55 km/l, saving me a lot on fuel costs.However, the bike’s light weight while making it movement affects its stability at high speeds or windy conditions.

    Promising Yet Underwhelming Facelift 

    the Karizma XMR falls a bit short in a few areas. For starters, the ride quality has not seen much improvement over its competitors it still feels a bit too stiff, specially on rougher roads.
