2011 Bajaj Discover 125 DTS-i

“When what you are deeply passionate about, what you can be best in the world at and what drives your economic engine come together, not only does your work move toward greatness, but so does your life. For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. Perhaps, then, you might gain that rare tranquility that comes from knowing that you’ve had a hand in creating something of intrinsic excellence that makes a contribution. Indeed, you might even gain that deepest of all satisfactions: knowing that your short time here on this earth has been well spent, and that it mattered.”

After a real long delay since it was announced, the Bajaj Auto has officially updated their website, with details of the Discover 125 DTS-i. It's basically the same old Bajaj Discover 125 flagship, which started it all in the 125cc segment, but with new colors/graphics, and some minor tweaks here and there, like all DC electrical and fatter rear tyre.

Visually one cannot make out the difference between 100cc, 125cc and 150cc variants of the Discover DTS-i now. What Bajaj is doing with the Discover is that, it's creating an Executive platform wherein, Bajaj would be providing a host of options for the Executive class of people, who would not want to go for the Platinas and would have various capacities to choose from the Discover stable.

From the styling perspective, the refreshing stickering and front end assembly looks good, but the "Disc-Cover" is a real sore eye. Apart from that, the Discover line of motorcycle has everything that one can expect from the commuter genre. A very dependable motorcycle, now covering one more mass of 125cc commutes.
