Bajaj has some powerful bikes such as the Pulsar NS 200, Pulsar RS 200, Dominar 400. But hey, aren't they very similar to its partner KTM's Duke 200, RC 200, Duke 390.
You might think, why I am saying so. Actually, if you see the Pulsar NS 200 is very similar to the Duke 200,Both the bikes lies in the same naked category as well as both the bikes has a raw feel in them. Talking about similarities both bikes gets an underbelly exhaust system. now if we see the Pulsar RS 200 and RC 200, Though the Pulsar RS 200 does not has a committed sitting positions still both the bikes lies in the super sport category. Both the bikes gets similar dual projector headlamps.













Talking about the Duke 390 and the Dominar 400 both the bikes uses a similar 373cc engine, though the Dominar 400 comparatively produces less power and torque than the Duke 390because Dominar is a power cruiser and Duke a naked street fighter.











In the place of Duke 250 bajaj has its Pulsar 220 F which is not less than any 250cc bike.
I am not telling that Bajaj is copying KTM, but the bikes are lot similar, As recently TVS launched its Apache RR310 which is very similar to BMW G310 R which almost has the same engine.
But Now, the launch of Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 makes me think that is Bajaj copying because almost about one or two months ago we got a news that the most awaited KTM Duke 125 is gonna launch in India .

Bajaj Pulsar NS 125


By discontinuing the Bajaj Pulsar LS 135, Now Bajaj is launching the Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 which will perhaps look very similar or identical to the Pulsar LS135.
The bike will have some fresh colour schemes. Although the bike has already launched in Poland with features like maintenance free fuel injection system, Exhaustec and Bajaj's own DTSi engine.

Engine Specs

The bike will feature an all new 124.45cc single cylinder air-cooled SOHC engine with a 5 speed transmission. The engine will produce 12 PS of power at 8500 rpm and 11 NM of torque at 6000 rpm






Launch Date and Price

The launch in Poland and the discontinuation of the Pulsar LS135 are the signs that the bike will soon hit the Indian market. But there are still no conformation by Bajaj about the launch in India.
The Ex-showroom price is expected around Rs. 60,000.
The bike will compete head to head with the Honda Shine and the Hero Glamour Fi.
