I was crazy about D100, but felt it a bit underpowerd having 94cc engine, and absence of disk brakes made me think again.
Purchased it for 55k. Prices of D100cc and D125ST are 48k and 62k respectively. Clocked 380kms on odo in 6 days with a solo trip of 168kms done today! :P
Here's what I think:
Pros:
1) The 125cc engine with 11PS power and 10.8Nm torque is quite enough to bring smile on face!

2) Suspension! Remarkable difference between normal and nitrox ones.
3) 200mm disc coupled with 130mm rear drum brakes may not sound great, but are indeed lifesaver in emergencies.
4) Looks decent and proportionate from every angle.
5) DC electricals.
6) Tripmeter and Pass light are indeed helpful, but that blue ride control switch must be replaced with engine kill switch.
7) Mileage, though not calculated yet, seems to be around 70kmpl. (Note: Filled petrol of Rs.500 at first+500ml provided by svc. No refills done yet.)
8) Eurogrip tyres may not be the best, but still no issue of skidding or locking on dry as well as wet surface. Lose gravel scares me though.
9) Stability is amazing! I am able to ride with no-hand, and the bike keeps on going!
Cons:
1) Seat seems to be uncomfortable for long rides.
2) Gearshifts are noisy.
3) Disc-cover looks odd. Don't know wheather it has any effect on disc cooling.
4) Worried about traditional tubed tyres.
5) Engine feels stressed after 50-60km/hr. (Maintaining run-in conditions)
6) Adjusted angle of headlamp cowl for proper illumination with dipper.
Well, I respect other products like SS125, Twister, Shine, etc. etc. But Discover was the one who stole my heart.
