                  awesome Bike
                  Big-bike looks: It has the exact same muscular, aggressive styling as the Pulsar 150, making it look premium. Great mileage: It easily delivers 50 to 55 kmpl in daily city traffic, keeping fuel expenses very low, comfortable ride, The seat is soft and spacious, and the upright riding posture prevents back pain during traffic jams. Solid highway stability: unlike lightweight 125cc commuters, its heavier chassis keeps it stable and vibration-free at 70–80 kmph. Low maintenance spare parts are widely available across India and are very affordable compared to rivals.

                  because the importance of performance, speed, ride smoothly, feel a better, style and look is choosen a based on the bike, or the brother have almost 5-7 brother chose a pulser on they are one reason the choose a bike. So far the ride has been completely fine. so far i have travelled mostly i group of 3 passenger but there is no different b/w travelling solo or in a triple, except that mileage may be different on the ride. I recommend the different reason pulsar buying i required on home to office on 60km going and 60km coming for they are not any problem on the ride time but the also required on 1.5litre petrol on tank or not but our bike is stop or not run 1 km to more or your choice you buy on your purpose.

Overall performance of the engine is very nice. Sound of the engine and exhaust is very good. Quick pickup and smooth ride is good.

                  TVS- RAIDER
                  I choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.

                  My experience with TVS Raider.
                  I wanted a bike with a decent mileage per litre because my work demands inter district commute. And after extensive search I found Raider. I wanted a bike that wasn't too boring for a mileage centred bike and this was my fair bet. Overall ride experience is satisfactory. Braking is bit off, that can be improved but if you're going in a decent speed, it shouldn't be a concern for you but if you're in a rush, it sure will affect you in one way or the other. But didn't have any bad experience till this day. Yeah, I'd recommend this bike but its safe, if you give it a test drive and make sure it's suited according to your needs. You should not feel bad after making the purchase in my opinion. But its a solid choice according to me.

                  Review after 1800+km
                  First of all this is my very first motorcycle. After test drive i liked the initial pull and the riding posture. so i picked this one as my friend. I also liked the motorcycle's exhaust note in stock condition. Comfort depends on how you sitting on your bike. In my opinion it gives a good comfort. Mileage also depends on your driving style. Currently after the first service I'm getting a 67-69 kmpl. Recommended speed is 55-65 km/h. Yes. If you need a daily commuter you can definitely choose this one. It gives a good comfort, decent mileage and also a some fun . You can easily cruise on a 60-69 kmph without any discomfort, above that there is vibrations.
