Sir, I like bikes with modern look ( example- bikes like Raider 125, NS 125), but my budget is only 1 lakh. I have choosen- TVS Raider 125, Hero Glamour, Honda SP 125, Bajaj NS 125. Which one should I buy?

All the bikes are good in their own forte. TVS’ has certainly come back to the 125cc segment with a bang with the Raider. It’s fun to ride, feature-packed, feels rather premium and is well priced too. It is definitely one of the most well-rounded offerings in the 125cc space. If we talk about NS 125, it is not loaded with features and sports the same semi-digital instrument console with a large analogue tachometer. Again this isn’t radical but by 125cc standards there’s nothing to complain about. You also get backlit switches as seen on its elder siblings. The Pulsar NS125 offers a great combination of frugality, cost and dynamics. Yes, performance could have been better but it isn’t a deal breaker given the segment it plays in. 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. However, in the company of the similarly priced but more powerful Bajaj Pulsar 125, the Glamour BS6 feels dated and less desirable. Hero Glamour is powered by a 125 cc engine. On the other hand, the SP 125 is among the best motorcycles launched by Honda in the recent past. It’s refined, fund to ride, frugal and offers a good list of features. We would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details
