Bajaj has updated its trusted commuter lineup with the Platina 125 2025, a bike that continues to appeal to everyday riders looking for affordability, mileage, and comfort. With its class-leading 90 kmpl claimed fuel efficiency and commuter-friendly ergonomics, the Platina 125 remains one of the most practical motorcycles for both city commutes and rural roads.
Design: Simple, Sleek, and Functional
The Platina 125 keeps things clean with its slim profile, well-finished panels, and subtle graphics that lend it a premium touch. A long cushioned seat ensures rider comfort, while alloy wheels and a chrome exhaust heat shield boost durability and style.
The halogen headlamp with DRLs improves visibility during day and night rides. While not flashy, its understated styling speaks to buyers who value function over unnecessary frills.
Engine and Performance: Tuned for Efficiency
The bike is powered by a 124.4cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 8.6 bhp and 10 Nm of torque. Designed for fuel efficiency over outright performance, it’s perfectly suited to city stop-and-go traffic.
A 5-speed gearbox, a rare feature in this segment, improves refinement and makes highway rides smoother. While it won’t thrill speed enthusiasts, it delivers reliable and smooth performance for daily errands and occasional longer rides.
Ride and Handling: Comfort Above All
With telescopic front forks and Nitrox rear shock absorbers, the Platina 125 tackles potholes and rough stretches comfortably. Its upright riding position, wide handlebars, and light 117 kg kerb weight make it easy to maneuver in traffic while reducing rider fatigue on longer journeys.
Features: Practical and No-Nonsense
Bajaj has focused on essential features like:
- Electric + kick start options
- Combi-Braking System (CBS)
- Tubeless tyres and alloy wheels
- Analog instrument cluster with all necessary readouts
There’s no digital connectivity, but the low-maintenance, practical setup ensures simplicity and reliability.
Mileage: Best-in-Class Efficiency
The Platina 125’s biggest strength is its 90 kmpl claimed mileage (under ideal conditions). In real-world use, riders can expect 80–85 kmpl in city riding, with highway runs coming close to the claimed figure.
With its 11-litre fuel tank, the Platina can deliver up to 900 km on a full tank, reducing fuel stop hassles significantly.
Pricing: Affordable and Accessible
Priced between ₹72,000 and ₹76,000 (ex-showroom), the Platina 125 remains one of the most budget-friendly 125cc motorcycles in India. Buyers also get multiple colour options and CBS-equipped drum brake variants for added choice.
Final Verdict: A Value-Packed Daily Rider
The Bajaj Platina 125 2025 is the perfect commuter for those who prioritize efficiency, comfort, and low ownership costs over outright performance. With its best-in-class mileage, low maintenance, and practical design, it’s a reliable option for students, office-goers, and rural riders alike.
If you’re after a fuel-saving, no-nonsense motorcycle that can take on both city streets and rural roads, the Platina 125 deserves a top spot on your list.
