My friend is having pulsar 180 dtsi frm last 4 years ND I drove his bike many times. Its pickup is ok Bt I find tht my access 125 has better pickup then the 180. Bike is comfortable Bt shoulder pain starts after riding 1 hr continuously ND in traffic bike feels a bit heavy Bt its manageable. Yes one plus point is tht ths bike delivers a good mileage. In cities it gives almost 40-48 kmpl ND in high ways around 55 kmpl. Bt I will suggest apache rtr 180 is better options then pulsar 180.
Yes mileage figure is little low of apache as compared to pulsar Bt thrs a slight difference NT much more because pickup ND power of apache is better then pulsar yes vibrations are mst common in apache Bt u cn manage it by proper service of the bike. Else its all up to u guys;)
