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

The Pulsar 125 delivers a claimed mileage of around 50 to 55 kilometers per liter. I experienced its top speed of around 105 to 112 kmph. Talking about the safety features as a drum brake on both the front and rear wheels.

    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.

    Very comfortable, reliable 

    Very comfortable, Reliable and plenty of power to cruise at highway speeds.I've put 5000miles on mine in the first year just chain maintenance and oil changes and the bike will run forever.It has lots of low end torque so off the line this bike moves but if you cruising at 70 mph mostly any other parallel twin naked bike will leave you in the dust.But that fine with me this bake checks all the boxes and it looks good as well for the price.

    Reliable cruiser 

    Most reliable cruiser.Solid, High quality frame and parts as expected from kawasaki.Having a forward placed parallel twin engine, There is minimum heat felt around the thighs giving it more advantage over the popular v twin engine cruisers.Also parallel twin reduces the vibration of the vehicle, Elongating the life of all the parts.Engine mapping could have been improved as it is still sporty like the other models of kawasaki fitting with the same 650cc engine.The bike always seems to be in an accelerated mode and never seems to settle down at cruising speeds between 100 to 125 kmps.Having listed the pros here are few cons too: poor ground clearance due to bulky catalytic converter and long wheel base.Uninteresting exhaust note.Expensive spare parts.In my opinion: the most practical and reliable cruiser that is available in india at the moment if it is within the buyer's budget.

    It's an incredible cruiser machine with a design and engineering that connects with your soul. The precision and ease of riding bring sheer joy, whether in the city or on the highway. The switchgear is top-notch, offering a great feel and rider's delight. The proven 650cc twin engine is constantly updated for performance.

    Exhaust sound 

    After a 2000 km ride and much more experience with Vulcan S bike. I am surprised by its performance. It is quick and fast for a cruiser. It is a sportbike with a cruiser body. Because it is an expensive bike. I just wish it has more features like riding modes etc. Builds quality is awesome. I can't feel the vibration at all. It's heavy, but again because of the low seat height. You cannot feel the weight. The con side of the bike is that I hate the exhaust sound, and there are very limited accessories in India. The maintenance is high.
