Fast backward to 2012, when I was into the market in search of a best bike(in premium commuter segment) I was totally fixed onto Pulsar 180 because it ticked all the boxes for me like hassle free and cheap maintenance, good FE, usable Power for city rides and hi-way rides, comfortable yet stylish seating position coupled with rear-set foot pegs, 2 piece handle bars etc. As usual when I went to Bajaj Showroom they insisted me to take Pulsar 150 and tried to convince me that P150 is superior to P180 because it has a kick starter:p
But I was determined to take P180, in rare case P220 or P135 LS(Pulsar 135LS due to its funky looking style, refined engine and more FE). But couldn’t buy a P180 because I was not given finance option. I came out of showroom disappointed but an idea of buying a used yet good P220 struck me. So headed straight to a used bike dealer, there I saw a shining new P220 with 4k odd kms on it with a third free service left. I was told that the owner wanted to leave to US of A and hence sold it. So I paid the money took the bike. From that day till today I’m very much happy with my choice.
