The Bajaj pulsar is well versed with Indian market of bikes, but it is very fuel consuming bike and after 2-3 years it is expensive for maintenance also. I do not prefer this bike just because of maintenance cost and effect can see on pocket. Handling and control is not so bad for first two years, but after that it makes sounds. Company claims 65 KM/L, but it gives only 40-50 km/L. Look of bike is good.
