Why buy: The biggest plus point of D125 ST is its fascinating looks. A uniquely styled front fascia, edgy turn-indicators, burly fuel tank, spider alloy wheels, alluring body graphics, silver-and-black exhaust and the silver central panel, and an attractive mudguard makes it different from similar other models in this category. The Discover 125ST looks exactly as it should, modern, edgy and smart, while still being a Discover at heart. The engine of the bike employs an air-cooled, 124.6cc, 4-valve, twin-spark engine which is quite similar to that of the Discover 125 DTSi. The 125 ST is the first Discover to use a four-valve head. It delivers a peak power at a 12.82bhp at 9000rpm, giving maximum torque of 10.78Nm at 7000rpm, thus making it capable to rival some of the 150cc rides in the country. On the other hand it is a daily commuter bike as well. The riding position is upright, and seat plush and wide. Overall, it has got everything that a bike lover can ask for: good features, styling and affordable pricing.
