                        interesting attract in daily and riding experience
                        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.

                        It has so much pros that we can ignore cons... take testride then decide
                        I owned this this bike for almost 5 years and odometer reading is 81000kms. Pros: 1.Extremely good for daily commute because of its lightweight and Manoeuvrability. 2.Fuel economy is extremely good which is around 60+ kmpl. 3.Does not need much cost to maintain. Just do the regular services and you are good to go. 4.Parts availability is quite good. 5.Also comfortable for long rides upto 100km. cons: 1.Its such parts brakes shoes, racer, chain sprocket, wear out frequently. 2.Rusting started appearing after one year of purchase.

                        My Experience with honda shine
                        It was a decent and nice performing 125cc, and smooth for city and highway rides, nice pick up speed as of a 125ccs, reliability, and also as it was my first bike, that's why I choose this to buy first. Comfort is very nice, I'm thinking it needs a little improvement in braking, but it is good too. As I ride almost 40km daily it's a nice bike, nice acceleration and quick response, no too noisy, just a little vibration issue on high speeds. This is a good bike for beginners, who are learning to ride or even good for job and for people who want comfort and daily travelling, I will not recommend if you want to go high speeds cause braking is not that good and it vibrate at speeds above 60-70km/hr.

                        Easy to drive and comfort
                        Shine is my first motorcycle and it was easy to learn how to ride on it. It is low cc motor cycle so for a beginner it is perfect. There is slight difference in gear compared to a sports or high cc motorcycle but for beginner it is perfect. Handling on the good. Sitting posture good. Riding posture nice. Mileage is good. The ride has been steady and smooth. It moves easily in traffic, stays controlled during turns, and deals with rough patches without shaking too much. Longer rides also feel comfortable, with the engine staying calm and steady. I picked this bike because the seating and control felt just right during the ride. The engine felt smooth, and the handling seemed perfect for my daily routes. It looked like a simple, dependable option for regular commuting.

                        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.
