I would just say, this is an excellent bike. I was very reluctant bout bajaj bikes after my Caliber 115 experience. Now I should thank my friend who convinced me, that was a isolated case. I met some others who had a good experience with Caliber 115 as well.
Before buying this one, I did test rides for Honda Unicorn, Hero Honda Achiever, TVS GLX etc. I could feel the fun the minute I started off itself. I cannot compare with Karizma coz I did not give it a try.
What I have to say is full paisa wasool bike hai. And just think of it giving me Mileage of 45 in Bangalore Traffic. That itself shoud speak of it. And people who know me know that bikes have to be strong to survive under my rough riding.
There is only one bike I would have preferred equal to this bike, that is CBZ. But unfortunately, that is out of production. Maybe I would have opted for CBZ if it was still in production, but then it gives lesser mileage at higher cost and lower engine capacity. I just like the styling of the CBZ slightly more that pulsar.
