The Honda Shine 125 is one of the most reliable commuters you can buy in India. It is easy to ride, has a fuss-free ownership experience and also returns good mileage. Honda sold 1,56,613 units of the Shine 125 in September 2025, which is a 10.81% increase in the bike’s Month-on-Month sales figures. Also, the YoY sales numbers have increased by 2.04% when compared to September 2025. We also expect a sharp increase in the bike’s MoM sales due to the recent festive season and the reduced GST on bikes with engines less than 350cc.

The Bajaj Pulsar 125cc range includes the Bajaj Pulsar 125, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 and the Bajaj Pulsar NS125. All of these bikes are excellent value-for-money machines and sell in quite decent numbers.
The Bajaj Pulsar 125cc range saw a 55.65% increase in MoM sales and a 16.73% increase in YoY sales when compared to September 2024. With the new GST 2.0 regulations that came into effect on September 22, 2025 and the festive offers, the Bajaj Pulsar range got cheaper by up to Rs 23,000.

The TVS Raider 125 practically popularised the 125cc sporty commuter segment in India with its launch back in 2021. It is fuel-efficient, peppy, and gets a very bassy exhaust note, making it a fun little bike.
TVS sold 41,753 units of the bike in September 2025, a 24.88% increase in MoM sales, which is quite healthy growth. We think that this bump in sales has happened due to the recently passed festive season and the GST 2.0 price cuts. The YoY sales, though, have shown a 3.51% decrease, but we think this is just a small fluctuation, rather than being a sales drop.

The Hero Glamour range includes three bikes: the Hero Glamour 125, the Hero Glamour 125 Xtec and the Hero Glamour X 125. The largest Indian two-wheeler brand sold over 30,140 units in September 2025. This is a 35.47% increase in MoM sales. We think this is due to the recent launch of the most feature-packed Glamour ever to be produced. Also, the YoY sales were quite promising, with a 51.98% increase.

Hero sold 21,184 units of the Xtreme 125R in September 2025, which is a 40.40% decrease in MoM sales. While this might be a good increase in sales, the YoY sales numbers have fallen by 43.53%, which is honestly quite a lot.
But, do expect to see better sales numbers in upcoming months because the Hero Xtreme 125R just got safer. Hero launched a new top-end variant of the bike with dual-channel ABS and some modern features like cruise control, riding modes and also an electronic throttle.
User Reviews
- Good bike for students & Office but not for longI chose this bike mainly because of its classic retro look, brand image, and the positive reviews I read online. The design really attracted me and I expected a strong riding feel and premium experience. However, after purchasing and using it daily, the emotional connection and excitement I expected were not fully delivered, though it still looks good on the road. The ride quality is decent and suitable for daily city use. Comfort is acceptable for short to medium rides, and handling is stable. However, the overall riding experience is not up to the mark as per expectations. Engine performance feels average, and refinement could be better. It is good, but not impressive enough in this segment. Yes, I would recommend this bike, especially for those who prefer a classic-looking motorcycle with balanced features and decent mileage. It may not be perfect in performance, but it offers comfort, safety, and reasonable maintenance costs. If someone wants a stylish bike for regular commuting rather than aggressive riding, this can be a good option.Read More
- Best 125cc bike under 1 lakhMaine TVS Raider SX (red-black) variant 2 mahine pehle li thi ₹98k on-road. Pehle din se hi iska performance aur looks dono ne impress kar diya. Engine bohot refined hai, 0-60 kmph 6 second ke andar aa jaati hai. City mein traffic mein nikalna ekdum mazaa hai, clutch light hai aur gears buttery smooth shift hote hain. Highway pe 90-100 kmph tak bilkul stable rehti hai bina vibration ke. Mileage real world mein 58-62 kmpl nikal raha hai (city + highway mix). 10 litre tank hai toh ek baar fill karo aur 550-600 km aaram se chal jaati hai. Features ke naam pe full loaded hai – digital speedometer with Bluetooth, riding modes (Eco + Power), LED headlamp, under-seat light, USB charging, side stand engine cut-off, aur glide through technology (traffic mein clutch dabaye bina chal sakti hai). Build quality solid hai, brakes dono taraf disc wale bahut confident feel dete hain. Suspension thoda stiff hai lekin bade pits bhi comfortably handle kar leti hai. Service cost bhi kaafi low hai, pehli service free thi Total paisa vasool package hai. Splendor, SP125, Glamour sabko peeche chhod diya hai Raider ne. Jo bhi sporty look + powerful 125cc bike chahte hain budget mein, blindly Raider le lo. Bilkul regret nahi hoga! 🔥🏍️Read More
- Mileage + Power Combo , Smooth & Stylish BikeMera Bajaj Pulsar 125 lene ka experience kaafi accha raha. Bike dekhte hi sporty feel aati hai aur power bhi 125cc segment me kaafi impressive lagti hai. City riding me ye bahut smooth hai, pickup quick mil jata hai aur traffic me handle karna easy rehta hai. Mileage bhi real use me 50–55 kmpl ke around de deti hai, jo daily commuters ke liye perfect hai. Suspension comfortable hai aur long rides me back pain bhi nahi hota. Build quality Bajaj ke hisaab se strong hai aur bike chalate time confidence feel hota hai. Overall, Pulsar 125 performance, mileage aur looks ka ek perfect combo hai.Read More
