[edit] Overview

The Bajaj Wind125 is Kawasaki's thrust into the South East Asian markets such as Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia etc. where the entry level bike is a 125 cc (not 100cc as in India) and where the consumer desires a modicum of performance along with mileage.

Its 13 litre contoured fuel tank with the eye catching trapezoidal optoprism headlamp, aluminum die cast grab rail, dual tone body etc. are additional features to make it attractive.

Positives (pros) of the bike include excellent quality of switchgear and other equipment, since Bajaj was aiming at the South-East Asian markets and quality had to be top-notch.

With a cost of around Rs.50,000 and only a moderate mileage of 40-50km/l this bike could not survive the mileage crazy Indian market and was easily pushed away by the Bajaj Discover and the Bajaj Pulsar.
