Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the Pulsar 125 range runs from ₹93,507 (Standard) to ₹1,04,561 (Split Seat - Premium) across 4 variants.
That makes it priced 5th lowest among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Pulsar N125 (₹187 more) and the Glamour X 125 (₹3,945 less).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.08 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Standard | ₹93,507 | |
Standard - Single Seat | ₹99,503 | |
Standard - Split Seat | ₹1,00,491 | |

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Pulsar 125 brings Pulsar styling and an 11.8bhp, 124.4cc engine to the entry-level segment, with prices starting at ₹93,507. It is a style-first proposition, and several core figures, including mileage and kerb weight, are not confirmed in the available data.
Riding it every day
With CBS as standard and ride modes on offer, the Pulsar 125 tries to punch above its price bracket on features, a genuine point of difference against similarly priced commuters that skip such extras entirely. The multiple variants, from a base standard trim to a split-seat premium option near ₹1.05 lakh, let buyers pick between a simpler look and a more distinct Pulsar identity. Without confirmed kerb weight or mileage figures, it is hard to say precisely how it rides over rough patches or how far it stretches a tank, so riders should treat any showroom claims with some caution and verify with a test ride.
What to know before buying
The warranty here runs to 2 years, notably shorter than the 5-year cover on Bajaj's Platina and Pulsar 150-180 range, which is worth weighing against the slightly lower asking price. Buyers cross-shopping against the closely priced Pulsar N125 should ask dealers directly for mileage and weight figures, since the difference between the two Pulsar 125cc siblings may come down to details not covered here.
Who should buy it
This suits younger, budget-conscious buyers who want Pulsar badge appeal and ride modes without paying 150cc money. It is a weaker choice for anyone who wants fully confirmed performance and efficiency numbers before buying, or a longer warranty term.
Features and colours
- Combi-brake (CBS)
- Alloy wheels
- LED tail lamp
- Ride modes
On safety kit the Pulsar 125 has combi-brake (cbs). There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.
Against Pulsar N125, Pulsar 150 or SP 125, it gets ride modes that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off, led headlamp and digital console, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 1 colours: Dark Silver & Aqua Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.
Service reach is excellent: Bajaj has about 5,000 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
The Pulsar 125 launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
