        The Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon is a nice bike with solid performance and good mileage. I'm planning to sell my bike based on its performance, which has been consistently reliable. The company also provides good exchange offers, making the process convenient. It's a dependable bike, and its performance truly reflects the quality Bajaj is known for.

        Good in the segment but controlling is difficult. Mileage is okay. Comfort is also good as per the price. Can be a better option in as compared to Hero splendor plus.
