            Pulsar 125
            It's a Good Bike, Preffered as Family bike.If it had New colours it would be more attractive,I ride this for city rides, Mileage avg 45 in Highways we could expect a 50, Doesn't have Modes,And only has halogen lights which is quite disappointing comparing to other vehicles in the market, overall it's a good vehicle.

            Indian Senor's bike .
            Best for seniors. Good performance and silent engine. Now with digital display and charging port made easy to the advanced generation as well. Improved rear tyre size is also an added performance. If led lighting is added then it will become the complete commuter.
