                        Affordable and reliable
                        I had a test drive of shine, xtreme and this one. At the end i came on a conclusion that pulsar would be good and best choice, since other brands offer something is not expected like after sale service. City presence is so good. Quick pick up and gear shift is something which is better than expected. Size is okay for 5.5. Breaking is too good. I am getting an average of around 55 to 60 when I am travelling around 15 km on a daily basis. The person who is committing daily on a daily basis like between 20 to 30 km, they can prefer to buy because its giving a better in average also, I will say that in traffic gearshifting is too good, so someone who is height of around 5.5 those are okay to go for it.

                        Best 125cc bike for students
                        This bike had everything needed for 125cc good looks bigger tyre abs barking system and the black color specially looks amazing on this bike mileage is great I get around 68kmpl if I ride the bike slow and steady on low rpm around 50 to 55 kmph constant The ride of this bike is good only the issue was handle bar in long distance rides my hands pains a lot so I decided to change the position of the handle bar tilting the handle while visiting hero service centre for servicing as of now my handle is very comfortable and upright no pain I would recommend this bike if you need good mileage and sporty looks this bike is not ment for high speeds anytime as the other 125cc bikes this crusing at 67 to 70 kmph is the best it will keep the engine perfect as lower the rpm for longer duration the engine stress becomes less and engine life increases also mileage will also be good also bike will be reliable most importantly check the engine oil level on this bike after constant high speed rides btw completed 10000km on this still going good don't ride on high speeds regularly occasionally I ride on 110kmph plus on short stretches engine has no problems if maintainence is done on time.
