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.

best 125 cc bike
Choose this bike because of sporty look with a good mileage providing both look and pocket friendly. It is good for daily use it also provide comfort. It has low maintenance good for pocket. It is overall good. It is comfortable on long rides and after speed 80 to 85 the mileage drop down the bike does not comes with central stand. It only comes with side stand it makes basic task like chain cleaning and lubrication difficult. Young rider like college student and young job going people should buy this, because it is good for there daily use with low maintenance, good mileage it provide good sporty look. It also comes with tubeless tyres and I7 inch alloy wheels.
