Hi readers.. I just bought a discover 125t (a new launch in the bajaj’s discover product range) and i’m forced to write this review of this super awesome machine. I would say the best discover ever or may be the best 125cc motorcycle.
When i was thinking about buying my third motorcycle, i was like, "i need a city bike but with decent acceleration and power. Also, i want to ride long distances - may be a 200km stretch once in a week". I had in mind honda shine, passion x-pro, phoenix 125 or may be the unicorn or the pulsar. Took a test ride of the sine, x-pro and unicorn. Felt something lacking in all - didn’t like unicorn because of its mileage. I visited the bajaj showroom in the end since i have heard bajaj pulsar gives a better mileage than the unicorn but, i was quite skeptical to walk into the showroom because i needed a 125cc bike and not a 150cc. Anyways, i just wanted to check out since i was about to take honda shine then. Oh! by the way, i owned a hero honda passion 2007 model.
When i walked in to the bajaj showroom, i was not really interested in buying a motorcycle but i was rather checking out if pulsar 150 or discover 125 meet my requirements. The showroom sales executive asked "sir, why do you need a motorcycle". I was like "what the !!". Then i understood he wanted to recommend a product to me according to my need and usage. But still, i asked him to show me discover 125. He showed me three models of discover 125. I never knew there is a new launch discover 125t. He said its tourer type. I was interested since this might be helpful for my long distance rides. He insisted me for a test ride whereas in other places, i had to request for a test-ride (may be a best thing about the showroom or bajaj as a whole).
The test ride i added this as a separate header because, i want you readers to take a test ride of this wonder bike. Half the distance, the test ride guy will be explaining you the bike’s features and i must say, this one has a hell a lot of technological stuff !!!. I was allowed to ride the second half of the distance and in that 200m drive, i fell in love with this bike. Wow!!! the engine and gear shifting was so smooth and even in bumps, i couldn’t feel a thing - thanks to the gas nitro something (sorry i’m not sure) suspension. I now insisted "one more time" but now, its going to be me throughout the distance. The guy nodded and i happily went another round.
My experience in the past 10 days my first concern - mileage : i was told the mileage under standard conditions would be 77-80 kmpl, and i did receive a stunning 72kmpl (reserve to reserve). I ride it in extreme city conditions. I’m pretty sure that the worst case is around 66 - 70 kmpl. A great mileage for this powerful bike
power : i must talk about this because i kept hearing from the executive in the showroom that it gives 30% more power. I was wondering 30% on what. Still have not got an authentic answer but i suppose its 30% more that any other 125cc bike. For this kind of mileage, i should confess that this is a powerful bike both with my wife as pillion and even if i ride alone. I feel myself back to the 20s. And, apparently i’m 38 - may be not too far from the 20s!. And the top speed i have seen is 80kmph but that is my top speed not the bike’s.
Comfort : the gas filled double suspension at the back gives comfort to both the rider and the pillion and even when you are riding alone. Mark my words, "no back pain". Also, i don’t feel a jerk on bumps as even the front suspension is far better that any other bike i have tried like the shine / passion.
Styling : of course this depends, but i like the big tank and sharp styling of the bike.
Overall : the motorcycle may be "just a 125cc" is an exceptional machine for its price point and i would like to borrow the heritage of bajaj to talk about its reliability. I love this bike and i strongly recommend it to everyone (irrespective of age) if you want both power and mileage in a single machine and sorry if i have forgotten the awesome comfort and smoothness.
Happy riding !!! this is gopi signing off !!

Have been riding this bike for quite a long time. 9 years to be exact. And I love everything about it. Backed by timely servicing every 3 months since i purchased the machine, it has never failed me in mid of the drive and still gives mileage in the range of 60-67 kmpl (amazing for a 9-year-old bike).I find only pros for it and no cons.

Mini street fighter

Pravin Kumar
It was really like mini street fighter feeling on the road. I still remember when dad gifted it to me. It helps me search for my job in struggling time, it helps me to reach to my destinations when ever i start to ride. Its red decals, black color, distance counter always give me feeling like rider. I used to take care of bike with on time maintenance and servicing which gives me the confidence that it will not put me down in any season. No cons i noticed till i sold it out.

The Best Bike Ever
this is a best bike from bajaj. It has sporty look and comfortable seat. I am using this bike from last 3 years. I am getting 50-55 kmpl mileage. There is no technical problem except gear changer and sometimes oil leaking. This is the best bike in 125 engine bikes. I think bajaj discover 125t is best for both local and long route travelling.

Mini street fighter

Its an amazing bike. Better performance as well as a mini street fighter. Red decals on black colour bike looks good. Maintenance is depends on how you used the bike. Bajaj bikes needs maintenance but if you do it timely you do not have to worry about the performance and mileage. Seating arrangements is also good.

Bajaj discover 125t
7 years ago
Arijit
For 125cc, it was a very economical in term of price and performance.
Pick up is good due to its 4 valve. And seating comfortable is also good. I use this for daily purpose as well as for long drive from durg to amarkantak, kawardha, bilaspur etc without any back(bone) problem.
This model is look like macho due its big fuel tank and its headlight look like transformers (decepticone).
It is very low maintenance bike.Not require much service except oil change,filter clean.
Pros:look,pick up,headlight, economical.
Cons:it is 125cc but due to its pickup rate its fuel consumption is more. You get 60+ km/liter.
But if you manage to ride at a constant speed and throttle you will got 70+ km/lit.

A commuter bike with sporty feel!

Naresh
It is probably the best model in discover after 125st, the design and style of it body is amazing and somewhat gives the feel of a sports street bike. Its silencer looks very sporty and its sounds really amazing.
Some cons of this bike are that it have same mileage as any 150 or 160cc bike have. It only gives 38-40 kmpl in market area and around 50kmpl on highway.
I love this bike very much

The bike of trust
10 years ago
Utsav
Style : awesome looks
engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox: engine performance is very good. The engine sound is very soothing. Currently i'm getting 65 kmpl mileage in city. Gear shifting is very efficient - just like feather touch.
Ride quality & handling: daily i have travel 60 kms up-down for office in kolkata. And, the road conditions of kolkata, now-a-days, is well-known. Still i am over-satisfied with the ride-quality and handling of this bike. Handling is just as easy as bi-cycle. No doubt, this bike is a quality bike and trust-worthy.
Final words: discover 125t can be considered as the trademark of trust and it's really a worthy investment, where we don't have to think of the returns. It's a very good bike and can be used for both styling and family purpose.
Areas of improvement: the suspension of this bike, though good, but can be more better.
Pros
mileage, gears, handling, braking, looks, toughness
cons
suspension can be more better
