                  Great dirt bike.
                  Smooth and agile. Definitely worth the cost. However the maintenance cost is high, but given that it’s a dirt bike meant for performance it is worth it. Very light weight which even makes it easier to manoeuvre and the slimmer frame doesn’t let you feel the height of the bike. Has total efficiency. Definitely a must have for mx racers or dirt bike enthusiasts.

                  KLX is a versatile off-road
                  KLX is a versatile off-road machine , Like its competitors, the KLX230R S dirt bike was made for casual riders who prefer lightweight, compact, and reasonable machines. Its single-cylinder engine delivers 20 horsepower of smooth, predictable output, ideal for beginners and seasoned riders alike. Coupled with a 6-speed transmission, shifting becomes effortless regardless of the environment. It's not only the engine that makes the Kawasaki stand out. Shorter riders will appreciate the adjustable seat height which offers more maneuverability on tricky trails. Luckily, suspension performance does not take a hit with the adjusted seat height. Despite standing out in numerous areas, Kawasaki did not compromise on the STD S features as well. the KLX230R extremely easy to control on tight trails. Alongside the lightweight chassis, equally tuned suspension further improves maneuverability through woods and single tracks. Effortless steering is paired with equally dependable brakes in the form of a 213mm front disc and a 186mm rear disc which prevent control from being lost when rapid cuts are made. The build quality is impressive and there is little need for upkeep, which makes it a plus for beginner riders.

                  I’m loving it
                  Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a great bike if you are looking for thrill and throttle. The performance is really good but the comfort is compromised due to the obvious nature of the bike. Stylish look and modern design makes the bike look adorable. I trust Bajaj and their Pulsar RS 200 also because the bike is fairly priced at around 1.7 lac.

                  I passed my high school with good grades and i turned 18 as well, that is when it all started. A friend of mine recently bought a RS 200 which kind of attracted me. I drove it once and that was it when i realised that this is the bike, the perfect bike for me. See now it's been over 5 years since I've owned this machine. So far, so good. I've drove this bike more than 1 lakh kilometres and trust me, the punch is still there, pretty good mileage of 28-30 km, you would get service centers almost everywhere, the service and parts are affordable and easily accessible. Also the main part is the care and maintenance of the bike, and i still think the bike is absolutely perfect for the next upcoming 10 or maybe 20 years. See if you're someone who wants an all rounder bike, which the parents would also approve, this is the bike. It's a comfortable commuter, not only your ride is comfortable, the passenger, be it my mom, also sits comfortably on the bike. The riding posture and bike design is great, good for long trips and for the streets as well. It delivers great power while saving you thousands of rupees for petrol. Like 30kmps mostly at higher rpms, i can afford that. Say if you choose to drive at low rpms, you could literally cover 45-50 kmps, if you how to drive.
