    I mean does it have good endurance?
    The bike holds up pretty well if you are maintaining speeds of 85-90kmph for long rides. Beyond that the engine feels little stressed

      and the clutch..still hard as earlier discovers??

      Clutch is light weight and gears are decently precise. No false neutrals or any struggle to change gears.

      The monoshock design looks similar like the P200NS but obvisouly would be a different unit and the bike is different, the weight would is different and the overall handling dynamics would be different.

          The sales guy at the showroom claims it would be between 65-70, i.e. same as the old 11 Ps Discover 125 DTSi.

            Awesome review... looks like there would be tons n tons of 125ST's on the road soon... I just hope they price this cute beast keeping in mind the pocket of Average Indian Commuter

              Thats really nice to know. After long time Bajajs commuter bikes seems to be getting improved a lot.

              But is it normall for a 125 cc bike with 4 valves to get stressed after speeds of 85-90kmph or generally do they hold up well?

                To truly understand how well this is priced, one MUST have a look at how the competition is priced.

                  I don't think there will be much demand for P135 anymore,especially since it costs additional 5K's.Unless the buyer is a die-hard Pulsar fan and can't afford a 150.


                  So Slingee is one of the heaviest 125cc but glamour, super splendor and even passion pro felt a lot heavier to me.

                    Great job dude! So SZ-R has lower power-to-weight ratio than Discover 125 DTSi ?

                          They took their own sweet time to get the damned page up

                          If Honda gets one thing right that nobody else does in mass segment, its website updates. Dream Yuga and CBR150R pages were up the MOMENT they were officially launched into the market. They must have a nice IT department

                            WOW! So D 125 ST gets an mono shock though being an commuter while P 135 LS despite being in sports category has to do with same-old-same-old!

                            I wonder if a lone P135 somewhere on factory floor is asking Rajiv Bajaj "Daddy, am I adopted?"

                            Jokes aside I thinks D 125 ST might have out done P135 and definitely has become my ride of choice under 150, until of course p 135 is updated......

                              Today there was a full page advt for 125 ST in one of the local language newspaper and surprised to see that the rear mudgaurd (below the tail lamp) was not there. It was just having the piece near the mono shox and saree gaurd. And i must say it all of a sudden became a looker. The look of the rear section of the bike changed completely.

                              So is Bajaj hearing to our view/cries and dropping the additional mudgaurd?

                                why does the bajaj discover always gets a disc cover with it??????????
                                ride fast but not harsh
