I bought this bike 9 months back and its 9000 kms on the odo. got it serviced 4 times, so I thought its the best time to post a review in this blog.
First of all I would like to say that there are a lot of misconceptions regarding this bike in the market. Even I heard many rumours about it but I finally bought it and man its a real stunner. I have no regrets at all. infact I am really happy that I have chosen this one. I would describe the bike in the following heads:
PICK UP:
the bike is 15.2 bhp. pick up is fantabulous, cant describe in words. it really lives up to its name RTR[racing throttle response]. twisting throttle gives a great rush and reaches 0-60kph in 3.8secs. it can eat pulsar 180 for evening meal. I being an experienced rider, have beaten karizma and pulsar 200 many tmes. I have acheived a top speed of 128kph from this bike.
PERFORMANCE:
the bike is quite smooth and has a very pleasing noise. though it vibrates a little bit when touches 50kph. but once it is above 65kph it has no vibration at all till its top speed. it is the best bike for a metropolitan city coz it cuts through traffic like a snake due to its small body size.
LOOKS:
its a head turner for sure. its a beauty from head to toe. looks are much better than the regular pulsars and CBZs. I fall in love with it every time I see it. it has a sports bike look which suit only the younsters. it has a good seating position as well.
MILEAGE:
it gives me a mileage of min 45kpl and max 48kpl in city and min 50kpl and max55kpl on highways. I find it to be remarkable with that power and pick up.
Apart from that I would like to tell u friends that if u are buying this bike then make sure u maintain it properly and ride it single handedly. if u maintain it then it will give a real pleasure to u.
Keep riding and always wear a helmet. Be Safe!
