Meet the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon BS6
You want your daily ride to handle the city’s chaos without costing a fortune. That’s the pitch with the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon BS6. It packs in sporty looks, new tech touches, and a frugal but punchy engine that’s not just for show. For a lot of young Indian riders, this model checks the right boxes for both the wallet and the need for some style on two wheels.
Under the tank sits a 124.4cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It uses Bajaj’s DTS-i Twin Spark technology—think two spark plugs per cylinder—making sure fuel burns efficiently. This engine churns out 11.8 PS at 8500 rpm with maximum torque of 10.8 Nm at 6500 rpm. That means it feels livelier than you’d expect from an entry-level 125cc. The 5-speed gearbox and wet multiplate clutch let you zip through traffic and hit the odd open stretch when you find one.
Fuel costs can eat away a chunk of anyone’s budget, so the given mileage figure of 51.46 kmpl is attention-grabbing. It isn’t just about numbers, though—the smooth gearing and gentle clutch are seriously useful in daily bumper-to-bumper rides, making this bike both practical and user-friendly.
Why the Pulsar 125 Neon Stands Out
For a bike at this price point, the Pulsar 125 Neon comes loaded. Its semi-digital console blends old-school analog for the tachometer with a digital speed readout, tripmeter, fuel gauge, and even a clock for those office sprints. Modern-day riders keep their phones glued to them, so features like a USB charging port and mobile notification alerts come in handy during longer trips or commute downtime. The gear shift indicator and average fuel economy display are smart additions you’d only expect on pricier bikes.
On the safety side, the Pulsar includes AHO (Automatic Headlight On), hazard warning, engine kill switch, and reminders like the side stand indicator. Braking gets a dual setup—a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum—while the telescopic front suspension and rear twin gas shock absorbers handle India’s unpredictable road conditions fairly well. The 11.5-liter fuel tank means fewer pit stops throughout the week.
Design-wise, neon highlights add a blast of sportiness, and you get both single and split seat variants. Riders of different heights find it manageable, thanks to the 790mm seat and 140kg kerb weight. The riding stance is relaxed, with enough ground clearance to glide over those all-too-familiar speed breakers.
Variant pricing starts around ₹96,294, putting it within reach for most working professionals or college students. It’s not the flashiest bike, nor does it promise track-day thrills, but it gives just the right balance of sporty flavor and usability to make everyday rides feel less like a chore. For anyone scanning the crowded commuter market for a reliable yet cool-looking pick, the Pulsar 125 Neon BS6 is hard to ignore.
