    excitement and thrill all the way 

    The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 is a stylish and fuel-efficient. I love its 125cc bike, perfect for daily rides . Its engine produces 11.6 PS of power and 11 Nm of torque, delivering around 50 kmpl in the city. Comfort features include a split seat and well-positioned handlebars. Telescopic front forks and nitrox rear suspension ensure decent handling. Safety-wise, it has disc brakes with optional ABS. With a starting price of ₹ 99,990, it's affordable and low maintenance. While it's stylish and comfortable, it's not built for high speeds and might feel a bit stiff on rough roads.

    Riding the Bajaj Pulsar NS125: A Mixed Bag 

    The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 has been part of my daily commute for the last 3 months. It is a lightweight option in the Pulsar series making it incredibly easy to handle specially for new riders. The bike has 124.4 cc engine provides enough kick for city rides while being remarkably fuel efficient.That said the NS125 is not the quickest on the block and seasoned riders might find it lacking in power. The suspension could do with some improvement for a smoother ride on rough terrains. While it's a budget friendly option with a decent performance those seeking a bit more thrill might want to look elsewhere.

    The Street Fighter  

    Entering the street naked segment with the Hero Xtreme 160R was a game changer for me. This bike packs a punch with its 160cc engine, churning out 15.2 PS of power which makes it a blast to ride specially when darting through city traffic or when you are out on a spirited weekend ride. The handling is sharp and the light frame makes it easy to control. Design wise, it looks aggressive and modern with its LED headlamps and sleek bodywork standing out in a crowd.But The Xtreme 160R could benefit from better fuel efficiency,currently it delivers around 45-48 kmpl which is not the best in its class.
