Bajaj unveils its Sporty Commuter, the Discover 125ST.. with a 4 Valve per cylinder engine and monoshock..!!

The commuter class bikes in India gets sportier with the launch of the new Discover 125 ST. The ST it seems stands for "Sports Tourer", not in the CBR250R, VFR1200 kind of way but more so from the perspective of an average Indian commuter.

What’s New in the new Discover 125 ST?

1. India’s first 125 cc commuter bike to feature a 4 valve DTS-i engine
2. India’s first 125 cc commuter bike to feature Monoshock Rear Suspension with Nitrox
3. Completely new design

First Impression on the Design: From what is seen from the photos of the Discover 125ST, the rear of the bike seems a bit busy with its "split tyre hugger + a conventional rear fender" combination. Same goes for the design of the alloy wheels. The rest of the bike seems pretty sporty for a commuter. The tank seems pleasingly muscular. The slightly raised rear seat imparts a sporty look. The Discover 125ST also gets a front disc brake and half chain cover. The decals of the bike does carry forward the old/original Discover lineage in its design.

Discover 125ST Price and launch date: The price of the Discover 125ST has not been made official till now. As for the launch dates, the bike should be available in the market by the end of June 2012.
