I recently purchased the Pulsar 180 speed lines model,
I had
a test drive of the same and felt like i am riding a beast with its amazing
pick up and meaner looks. I had done a lot of research, compared about 6 bikes
they were:
Apache rtr 180
Pulsar 150
Honda Unicorn
Yamaha Fazer
Yamaha FZ S
Yamaha FZ 16.
I ruled out Yamaha bcz all the engines(FZ S, FZ 16, Fazer)
were same only looks were different, the price was high, maintenance was too
high, mileage was down, power was low, comfort factor was zero and apart from
tyres the body was plastic fibre crap. Very low mileage by any 150-160 bike.
I ruled out Honda Unicorn & Dazzler because:
waiting period, high cost, maintenance high, unavailability
of parts, out dated looks with no digital parts. Only good thing in this bike
is Honda engine and trust which u can also get in Bajaj & HH.
The next was Apache RTR 180 this bike was the closest model
to P180:
Good points: Very high pick up
Engine has incredible power
it runs like mean machine
Flaws:
a very small/compact bike
no style statement
low mileage
Apache 160, 180 & F1 looks the same apart from graphics.
Vibrates like hell, you cant call this a sports bike
Pulsar 150 was the best amongst the 150 segment bikes it
also has unbelivable power & pick up in this segment.
Pros: Good pick up, power, performance bike
Style is great
Family bike
Cons: A very common bike u can say popular
Upgrade needed
Pulsar 180 was the chosen one because just when u sit on the
bike and push the ignition button the power makes you feel you are on a machine
which is ready to go anywhere, on road and off road. The pick up is incredible
with a touch of style and stability. the riding posture is very comfortable,
even the pillion seat is comfortable for the pillion rider and long drives are
made easy.
Pros: Unmatched power & pick up
split seats
comfortable riding position
better mileage by any 180 bike (45-50) which is not even
given by 150 cc bikes
meaner looks
the new speed lines model makes this bike unique in colour
and stands out in the crowd.
Low on maintenance
Style Split grab rails
Full black parts with chrome engine. Blue Black color is
recommended
Tubeless tyres
Low Fuel, Battery indicators
Self cancelling indicators
Wider rear tyres for greater stability
No vibrations at higher speeds
Cons:
Saree guard is not that good for women sitting one sided, u
cant take ur mom out but you can very well manage it if you change it.
Looks are common (150- 180) that dosnt matter as when you
ride it you can very well understand the difference.
In the end, i would like to say Pulsar 180 is a complete
package what you ever wanted (Style, Power, Performance, Average) which is
delivered at a minimal amount when you compare it with other bikes.
You must have heard that Next Gen Pulsars are to be
launched, dont be under this impression that those would be better than
existing Pulsars as after having a spy look at them i feel this choice was
better and i can keep this bike as the last and best edition of epic PULSARS.
Some companies say we have the best Sports bikes, i say
throw away those and purchase this as the top speed is 120+ with no single
vibration
0-100 in jus seconds, pierces through the wind
So guys dont give a second thought for this mean machine go
and grab it today!!
With this bike i can truly say i am Distinctly Ahead of
other disgusting bikes....
