Apart from the looks of bajaj pulsar 180 many of the people might not see the advantages with this bike.well to tell you I own one and as for now after 1 and a half years that I have possessed it proudly it has never ever given me a fuel average of lesser than 46 and the maximum it achieved was 52 although I can rely on it to cover atleat 48 Kms on any given day in one lt. The other aspect being hadling and control, believe me when I say awsome, yes thats the word, when you are on this machine you don’t need to bother much about the balance and control, it feels like you are spreading butter on a toast when you ride it on a highway although the traffice conditions matter a lot for the performance of any bike but still the output it generates even in the city traffic is more than one can expect. All this therefore makes up this bike very reliable in terms of overall performance in this segment and hence whosoever is willing to go in for a bike in this catagory should try out the ride beforehand cuz not even the hero honda karizma which is 225 cc has a better pickup than what this 180cc engine offers apart from the fuel guzzling characteristics of other bikes. I wish all of you happy and safe biking with the Bajaj Pulsar 180...truly a dream machine.
