This is my first and ever review on MS.com,
Thanks to the MS.com team.
I wanted to buy a vehicle 3 months ago. One thing that I am sure I am looking for 3 things before buying a vehicle. Power, Pickup and Mileage. First I was confused with the bikes available now in way which one I have to buy. I started research, because every bike has its pros and cons.
No bike is perfect as nobody is perfect. I give a suggestion to all whom want to buy a vehicle, Don?t go for a vehicle since everyone owning it ( in recent days I saw an example is PULSAR) actually some of the riders don?t know why did they buy it,
First, Compare the price with the value of the bike. Are you getting 100% return from the bike. If not why should you go for that. And second thing go for the Brand and then performance. Some body will ask what is there with the brand, just ask the same question who is having the Hero Honda bikes.
I have thought of three vehicles after filter the bikes greater in 150 cc or more , PULSAR, CBZ, TVS Fiero F2.
I had Kinetic Lazer in my mind and almost I went to buy it, but later I changed my mind because of the brand and lake of much available service stations and spare part stores.
Further I filtered CBZ; because of its huge maintain costs and mileage and some gear switching problems. Now there is a real test for me which I have to go for, because in every aspect both are having same pros and cons. But some variations that I come to know from the ?Road Test articles? and Reviews on those vehicles. You can read those road test articles in the following sites, Dilip Bam is the author for those articles ? he is the best bike expert in the recent days. And you can post your questions also. https://indiabike.com/roadtest/fiero_pulsar_cbz/index.htm After that I decided to go for ?Fiero F2? till now I am enjoying my ride with this vehicle. And F2 have better improved style also compare to the Fiero.
Only problem is gear shifting, some time it tend to neutral between 3 rd and fourth. But this problem is there in almost all vehicles as Indian manufactures are still in the state of development. I didn?t find any difficult with lake of 5th gear, in city conditions it is okay, but I am not a bike expert, so I don?t know the use of 5th gear.
Braking is good and I am planning to change the rear tier, as my friends are suggesting it, for better grip in all conditions. Seating is comfortable, compare to any other vehicle; Handling is good compare to pulsar; you can easily thru in traffic. Maintenance is less compare to other two vehicles. Mileage, I am getting around 55 kmpl now in city, I didn?t test it on highways. And Pickup is good, I don?t like racing but I like good pickup in bikes. Till now I am riding with the maximum speed of 50, on single riding. Just finished 500 kms riding and didn?t find any problem like Vibration kind of things, Because I m not crossing 50 km/hr mark. More reviews will come soon on this bike once I finish 1000 km test. But I promise that you wont disappoint with this bike in, POWER, PICKUP and MILEAGE.
