Kymco Pulsar Base 125

I am sure the first thing that comes to your mind after looking at this bike above - another Chinese crap? Errr.. no. This bike is from a company with its roots in Taiwan. Secondly, the company, called Kymco, has been doing pretty decently in various world markets now. I have discussed a lot on their bikes in the past ( see HERE) and here is a brief on the Kymco Pulsar Base 125.

It is powered by a 10bhp 125cc motor - no guesses for speeds. Yes, it maxes out at around 65mph or 105km/h. However, its selling point will be its sticker price, which in the UK will be just 1399 pounds. Dirt cheap for that market.

However, by todays currency 1399 pounds translates into 95,000 Indian rupees. In India here, you can get the following bikes for much lesser amount

1. Bajaj Pulsar 220S

2. Put in 15% more money and take the Yamaha R15
