The new Bajaj 125cc commuter bike has been spotted testing in India, and a look at the bike suggests that it is the upcoming Pulsar P125 in the Chakan-based manufacturer's Pulsar P range of motorcycles. The first set of spy shots shows a design similar to that of the Pulsar P150. Therefore, expect the production-spec P125 bike to get a sleek body, a single-piece headlamp with LED daytime running lights, extended tank shrouds, a single-piece saddle, an engine cowl, clip-on handlebars, and twin-LED taillamps. Other bits could be a semi-digital instrument cluster, a USB port, as well as a similar-looking alloy wheel design.
