Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Bajaj Pulsar N125
- Looks: The N125’s design language is a fresh one and doesn’t look like any other Pulsar
- Lightness: 125kg kerb means the N125 feels super light, especially when riding through heavy traffic
- Smoothness: its engine is smooth, even at highway speeds
- Suspension: it’s very comfortable on bad roads too
- Price: undercuts both its chief rivals: the TVS Raider and the Hero Xtreme 125R
Honda Shine
- Graphics on the body look good and make the bike look very stylish
- Well balanced suspension setup that handles most bumps and potholes with ease
- The engine offers good refinement and provides good mileage as well

Bajaj Pulsar N125
- The front brake could’ve been a bit sharper
- It misses out on ABS, something even the Bajaj Platina 110 gets
- The finish levels and panel gaps could’ve been a bit better
Honda Shine
- The bike doesn't get many features when compared to its competition
- Design has remained more or less the same over the years
- Slimmer rear tyre compared to its competitors

Best city ride bike
Good for daily city ride use and also gives good mileage don’t have any major maintenance cost easy to handle and light weight drum braking is pretty average and top speed is 100 but bike vibrates if goes above 70 better to use it below 70 . Gives mileage of 45-50 generally depends on use engine gets heat after continuous use 2hr
