Find out how the soon to be launched Bajaj Pulsar 125 Classic variant will be different than the existing Bajaj Pulsar 125 neon variant
Bajaj Auto has launched the Pulsar 125 Neon recently and it is the most affordable Pulsar model in India at this moment. The Pulsar 125 Neon variant looks identical to the Pulsar 150 Neon variant and these bikes can be differentiated only by the badges positioned on the rear panels. Recently Bajaj has also decided to add a new split seat variant of the Pulsar 125 lineup as well. The Pulsar 125 Classic split seat variant also gets few cosmetic updates which helps it to differentiate from the Pulsar 125 Neon variant.

Like we already mentioned above, the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 125 variant will sport a split seat setup instead of a single piece seat that can be seen in the Pulsar 125 Neon variant. Other visual changes include a tank shroud and an additional belly pan which is not available with the 125 Neon variant.
This soon to be launched variant also features a regular chrome finished tank badge and not a neon coloured badge that can be found in the Pulsar 125 Neon variant. The central panel of the motorcycle features a carbon fiber finish while the graphics are also different than the neon variant.
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon variant is priced at Rs 66,618 (ex-showroom). Expect the soon to be launched Bajaj Pulsar 125 Classic variant to be priced at least Rs 3,000-Rs 5,000 more than the Pulsar 125 Neon variant.
