- The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 packs a peppy engine, is fun to ride, and could be the perfect beginner bike for you. The entry-level NS125 could be the perfect platform for those graduating from a scooter, and yearning to learn the ropes. On the other hand, TVS Raider's styling, features and performance will excite youngsters, and for someone looking at their first motorcycle, the Raider does make good sense. TVS has gone the smarter route, keeping a thrilling ride experience as the USP, instead of a purely commuter-centric approach. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
- Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. KTM 125 Duke is powered by a 124.7 cc engine. This Duke 125 engine generates a power of 14.5 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 12 Nm @ 8000 rpm. The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 follows the same design ethos as its other NS siblings. The same wolf-inspired headlamp, muscular tank, chunky body, and split-seat setup make their way into the NS125. However, blame it on the skinny tyres and a slim telescopic fork, the proportions of the bike do not seem quite right. Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 is powered by 124.4 cc engine.This Pulsar NS 125 engine generates a power of 11.99 PS @ 8500 rpm and a torque of 11 Nm @ 7000 rpm.

- Both Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 and Hero Glamour are good with their own forte. Bajaj pulsar offers the practicality of the Hero and Honda bikes, without compromising on the cool quotient or being too heavy on the pocket. On the other hand, Hero has done well to keep the Glamour BS6’s pricing in check during the BS4 to BS6 transition given the fact that the BS4 Glamour already had Fi. With the new pricing, the Hero is still one of the expensive 125cc motorcycles out there but it undercuts the Honda SP 125 by around Rs 5,000. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 vs Hero Glamour..Read more -How Does The New Baby Pulsar NS125 Fare Against Other 125cc Bikes?.
