The Indian two-wheeler market has a huge demand for commuter motorcycles. Just like the entry-level 100cc motorcycle, the 125cc commuter segment also offers a mix of power, fuel efficiency, and features. Bajaj introduced the Pulsar 125 as its flagship model. On the other hand, Honda launched the SP 125 followed by Hero unveiling the all-new BS6 Glamour this year. While Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon is considered powerful in this lot, Honda has equipped the SP 125 with segment-first features. The BS6 Glamour gets a new chassis and engine, putting it in the same aforementioned motorcycles.

The BS6 Hero Glamour, on the other hand, might be the least powerful in the lot but it is also the most affordable one.
