      It has a awesome performance like a sports bike as well as a comfortable riding posture like a commuter bike. If you want a bike that offers decent performance, comfortable riding experience and basic modern features like an LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, then the Bajaj Pulsar 125 is worth buying.
