    Re: Bajaj Discover 125ST Domestic Sale stopped: xBhp News

    i remember reading rave reviews all over,the powerful engine,the fun dynamics and power outputs that were comparable to international 125ccs...the bike was just in the wrong market.like democracy,market gives the consumer what they deserve.
    but seriously,they should not have more than 6 variants of discover 3 engine specs,not 18

      Honda introduced shine in 2005, and they have sold 30 lakh units till now,according to an automotive site in the first year they only sold 1.17 lakh units, 94000 units of shine was sold in march 2014 alone,shine has only got two versions with disc brake and without disc brakes, bringing variants after variants shows that the manufacturer is not sure of his product, what is the use of so many variants when very soon all of them will be taken away from the market, the company should more concentrate on proper study of the market, what people want from commuter segment motorcycle, plus the reliability of the product.

        And yeah, launching more varieties of discover than human race, it was bound to happen.
        Though 125 ST was the only discover, that I've ever liked. Sad it's out.

        I thought 200NS was a run away hit after rave reviews .
        Is it struggling to move out of the showroom?

          It isn't a joke to buy 100000₹ + bike.
          It isn't faring bike, So typical Indians looks at it as why the hell it costs 100000+₹ ..?
          And the biggest reason, Dude I'm getting 20cc more and faring and a exhaust wali bike with 3000₹ less rupee aka pulsar 220, why would I buy some cheap 20cc lower 3000₹ costlier pulsar that doesn't even have a exhaust. .?

            Discover 125ST also has the same story .
            My friends father preferred a Honda shine stating that it has dual suspension to carry load .
            There are a very few youngsters to buy a 100or 125 cc sporty machine .
            Bajaj should cater what the market needs it can't change the market sentiments easily .

              You just can't beat a Bajaj. Because by the time you intend to overtake it, its already stopped in production and the next discover you see is a new one being launched. And just when I thought the list looked exhaustive in terms of permutations and combinations, here Bajaj pulls a rabbit out of its hat: A brand new Discover 150F, see

              Discover 150F to be launched in August| ZigWheels.com.

              I think it will compete with Honda CBR 150 and Yamaha R15 2.0

                Did D135 came with 5 speed? AFAIK D135 came in 4 speed & new look with four speed box.

They should borrow some guts from hero and yamaha as these companies are still selling bikes like achiever and crux respectively. Platina 125, discover 125st, boxer 150, Wind 125, discover 100(5s), I guess all these bikes had a very short life span i.e. below 4 years.

                  Here is experiment/confusion list:

                  1. Discover 125
                  2. Discover 125 5s
                  3. Discover 112
                  4. Discover 135
                  5. Discover 135 5s
                  6. Discover 135 (new look i.e. indicators on tank and digital speedo)
                  7. Discover 100
                  8. Discover 100 5s
                  9. Discover 150
                  10. Discover 125 st
                  11. Discover 125 t
                  12. Discover 125 m
                  13. Discover 100 t
                  14. Discover 100 m ....and many more to come

                  Some came with exhaust-tec, some with single and others with dual spark plugs. All in all 14 different model in 10 years which excludes facelifts and variants. Out of those 14 only 6 are alive which means bajaj discontinued .8 model per year or you can say 1 discover after every 15 months (approx) on an average.

                  I think bajaj should launch discover with following names so that customers can choose the required bike easily:

                  1. Discover 100
                  (a) Discover P (p stands for power)
                  (b) Discover PM (power and mileage)
                  (c) Discover M (mileage)

                  2. Discover 125
                  (a) Discover P (p stands for power)
                  (b) Discover PM (power and mileage)
                  (c) Discover M (mileage)

                  3. Discover 150
                  (a) Discover P (p stands for power)
                  (b) Discover PM (power and mileage)
                  (c) Discover M (mileage)

                  This way bajaj will be able to manage things easily without confusing and irritating people. At the same time they can keep themselves happy and entertained with making half a bhp or 1 bhp difference between P, PM and M models

                  Here is the correct Listing
                  1.Discover 125 dtsi-at time of launch came with 3 variants-a flagship top of the line variant with all the bells and whistles like tachometer,silver finished alloys,240mm disc electric start.-2004

                  6.discover 100 5G gets launched with a new platform engine unit based on XCD's engine platform with dts-si technology( offset positioned twin plugs) and 135's nitrox shocks which becomes a standard feature on discover brand then on.
                  7.discover 135 gets discontinued and discover 125 gets re launched within the xcd engine platform.
                  8.discover 150 gets launched discover 100 gets slight change in the plug positioning going to normal from dts-si's offset setup and also a 4 gear cheaper option called 4G is also provided simultaneously.
                  9.discover 125 st gets launched in 2012 which marks the beginning of second gen discovers with more contemporary design,nitrox gas charged mono shock,o ringed chain,petal disc brakes,4 valve dtsi engine which is next natural evolution for the xcd originated dts-si engine.
                  10 Discover 100 T comes in as a fun segment leading powerful expensive premium option at the 100 cc space which is just a discover 125 st with a slightly lower rear, a bigger mudguard and regular nitrox twin shocks and 5 speed equipped.
                  11.discover 125T comes in as a less sporty and more practical version of 125 st and in short a 125 cc version of 100 T.
                  12.Discover 100 M- An even more mileage oriented even more simplified slightly detuned 4 speed equipped short wheelbase city oriented version of the 100T
                  13.Discover 125 M Again just a 125cc version of 100M and also 4 speed or in net effect ,an even more detuned and cheaper version of 125 T,
                  Discover 125 ST gets taken off the shelf due to poor sales due to reasons like high seat height.
                  14.Discover 150 S and F gets ready to be launched which is having a 4 valve version of previous discover 150 mill,gas charged mono shocks like that of 125 st,and in net effect comes with a mix of 125 ST with 125T or in other words a Discover 125 T with mono shock and a bigger 144 cc heart.And F version or fairing version is a faired version of the same to take on stunner and ignitor.

                      We must share this list with the Bajaj people. I am sure that they don't have one and if this actual one is below their expectations, they will launch a few many more models. If it exceeds their expected list, they will discontinue some of the existing ones. And if they still fall short, they might as well discontinue, oh wait, first they launch a few more models with the intent of discontinuing them.

                          It will be available, but there will be delay in the shipment, etc. The company is bound to supply the spares for 5/10/15 years after stopping the production. Not that Bajaj gives a damn about customers before phasing out a bike

                            The recent ST, T, M and now the S and F Discovers are clearly based on a common platform with small differences..

                            ..therefore I don't think spares would be an issue. Even the monoshock of the 125ST should be on the new 150S and 150F.

                                How is the engine? Became smooth or vibrates?
