    I spoke to as many bike retailers as I could and explained my needs. 1) safety 2) economy 3) reliability, in a commuter bike. I was pointed towards the Kymco Pulsar. I am glad I was. For the equivalent price of a "big name" bike I bought the bike and all the safety gear including a top box and CBT test. The bike starts always, drives easily, does 100+ mpg and gets 18 stone of me 25 miles over hilly terrain with little effort. The engine is willing, forgiving and eager to please and it has hauled my considerable weight up to over 60 miles per hour. The tank holds enough for 200 miles or more, the handling seems excellent (i am a bit of a novice) the brakes are good. Faults....The odometer is in KPH and none too accurate. The Bike required a brake disk replacement under warranty. But the bike is also excellent for the money. Buy one.

    The Kymco Pulsar 125 is a good cycle but a few things are a little bit nerving. The Main Stand is too big and it carves at the bottom when you drive a curve to the left.

    When I first purchased my Kymco Pulsar 125 (Brand New) it was my pride and joy then 3 weeks later the exahust gasket went. I had only done 600miles so it needed its first service. I took it in and a few days later I received a call telling me that the bike was unsafe to ride because the disks in the Sproket Carrier where metling and the back brakes were not working properly and probably had not been since I purcahsed the bike, after that I was told I would get the bike back by the end of a week ...

    Mine is a 2002 model which I purchased second hand in 2005 The exhaust silencer was very rusty, but I soon sorted the problem by removing the rust and riveting a stainless steel plate over it. it has 50,000 Km on the clock and has never broken down. The bike was badly damaged due to an accident 18 months ago. I left it standing in an open compound for 12 months when I when back to it I put a new battery in and to my surprise it started 6th kick and the engine still ran beautifully. The origin ...

    Have owned my 2002 Kymco Pulsar now for around 4months and ridden it right through winter. It accelerates quick, and is so easy to handle in any weather. Its a perfect first bike for those who have just passed their cbt. One recommendation ive found is that its worth while changing the chain on the bike as i found the one fitted on mine was rather loose and had a habit of coming off. Apart from that i don't have any gripes about the bie except those you find with all 125s lack of top speed, stru ...

    The welding is not the best as far as finishing goes, but for strength and reliability this is a great bike as long as you don't expect it to do the racing speeds that bikes built as racers do.
    It's a commuter bike after all.

    For the price, this bike is utterly amazing value for money. Brand new, it's half the price of some other 125s.

    I rode a Kymco Pulsar all year round prior to moving onto Direct Access. The negatives are the same as any 125. However, as 125s go, this was great. Totally reliable, almost regardless of any neglect on my part, and with brilliant extras for new (and indeed experienced) riders as standard: gear indicator and a fuel gauge.

    Kymco Pulsar 125

    FINISH & EQUIPMENT

    The finish is mostly good but let down by sharp edges around the flanges of the petrol tank. Given that Taiwan builds frames for nearly all of the big name mountain bike manufacturers; I was surprised to see untidy TIG welds around the fairing brackets, steering headset and swing arm drop hangers. The Pulsar is available in red or graphite (should be called 'John Major Grey') for the UK market but in other parts of Europe there is a silver variant which ...
