India's Bajaj->ke3435 Company is no stranger to building some of the most popular bikes in the Indian market and their latest offering appears to be no different. The bike is called the Discover 150, and it comes packed with a tidy 144 cc engine that produces around 14 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 12.74 Nm at 5,500 rpm.
In true Bajaj fashion, the Discover 150 is also the personification of style, thanks to an all-black styling that exudes a premium, sporty, and attractive look. Attractive graphics also highlight the bike's outstanding design credentials, while LED tail lamps and alloy wheels add a touch of technology and class to the Discover 150's overall package.
While there isn't anything about the Discover 150 that stands out from the rest of its competitors, the bike is the kind of everyday ride that a lot of people enjoy. And as far as trying out a new thing, the Discover 150's stature as the newest product from Bajaj also adds a certain appeal to it.
