Its my 1st review on site. I bought pulsar 180 2 months before. Before buying I read many reviews on many sites just like anyone. My choice is 180cc bike with comfort and balance during long drive with reasonable mileage. I’m a doctor and in job, my duty place is 50 km from my home.so I want powerful bike. I had passion 100cc from 7 yrs, so I fed up with this.
After reading reviews I test drive some bikes like apache 180 and Fazer yamaha and pulsar 180. Its knowing that yamaha has mileage of less than 40km/hr and less bhp, i omitted this.
Its finally between apache and pulsar. Both r gud looking..but after test drive of apache 180 I found very roaring sound, which I certenely not pleasent to me..pickup is good and height suited to me..but after driving pulsar 180 I m in love with this, good macho look..sporty with tubeless tyre and seat divide into two half for comfort driving.
After 2 month of driving I want to share its good and bad things. First good thing, again good pickup.no one beat u on road and after traffic signals. Good control over road..light driving and give mileage of 43km/hr. After 1st servicing. Now some bad things, heavy weight for me, particularly in turning without bike on..2nd its height for 5.5"long man like me in crowded place and 3rd on a noisy sound from backside which is not resolved even during servicing.
So I would update u after some more drives. I m very much satisfied in 2 months of driving..anybody may contact me on my email id vivekpmc2001@gmail.com

Its after 1.2 yrs of buy..thanks for your replies. I want to share more about my bike. Its rocking as before I love it. Mileage is around 40-44 kmpl. No roaring sound..smooth driving. Its heavy wt is only concern for me. But speed is awesome. I drive it upto 110 km/hr..so balanced and smooth. Pick-up is too good.
I will update later as time goes.
