When I was in my b.tech 2nd year.I was engaged in freedom struggle with my parents.Freedom struggle.yes, for me bike is not a machine of daily commuting its a symbol of freedom.at that time all my eyes were on pulser 150.but fortunately my dad hadn’t given me any choice except splendor.with a sad face I brought it home.but in this 11 years journey it never made me sad. I completed one lakh+ kms with it, apart from minor spears changes and regular servicing I had never faced any major problems with it. Comming to advantages 1) braking is ok if u use both. 2) I read many people saying its mailage is 90, 80kmpl But it never crossed above 60 and below 55kmpl at a speed range of 40 to 60. 3) its seat design is a bit curvey which improves the overall look with out distributing the practicality. 4) the steel carrier at back works as both protector and carrier.it saved my tail lamp infinite times. 5) lower seat height easier to sit for pillion rider especially women waring saree. 6) good maneuverability.
