BAJAJ DISCOVER 125 DTS-i (2004-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Bajaj Discover was a line of motorcycles made by Bajaj Auto in 2004 to replace the Kawasaki KB100 RTZ, continuing production until 2020 when it was replaced by the Bajaj Pulsar 125.

The motorcycle was a success in the two-wheeler segment until 2020, when it was discontinued due to too many motorcycles sharing the Discover designation, leading to poor sales figures.

The first motorcycle launched in 2004 had a 125cc engine, followed by a 112cc version in December 2005, and a 135cc version introduced in 2007. It was the second bike in Bajaj's range that featured six-spoke alloy wheels.

Visually, the bike had standard features, such as a single headlight unit integrated into a cowl, a small wind deflector, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and six-spoke alloy wheels.

In the performance department, the 2004 Bajaj Discover 125 DTS-i had its heartbeat set by a 124cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 12 hp at 8,000 rpm and 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was converted into motion by a five-speed gearbox controlled by a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to 100 kph (62 mph).
