        The Bajaj Pulsar 125cc is one of the most comfortable bikes in the market. Its disc brakes offer excellent control and safety, making every ride smooth and confident. I’ve been using this bike for the past 2 years, and its handling and performance are truly impressive. I really like this bike — it’s a great choice for daily use and long rides alike.
