                  Middle man bike with higher man qualities .
                  My experience with this version of pulsar is very good considering the mileage and overall performance . Only drawback is maintainance cost after 1 to 1.5 years . Otherwise a good overall price package with features affordable for middle income groups and trustworthy company . If at all looking for higher specs do look out for new pulsar .
