      Honest review without lies. Tried and tested 15yrs
      It was a good experience, purchased from bajaj showroom. Wonderful riding experience. Still in a condition to ride more. Has never made me push the bike mid highway. No accident just one person riding with care. Current average is around 22-25. Service is been local, however parts update has been original.

      Bajaj Pulsar 180 cc (2017 Model)
      Good balanced bike for a First purchase. It has the required power and quick manoeuvres for a city ride. Mileage is around 38-45, depending on the traffic and road condition. Headlight was a little weak, so replaced with a stronger power headlight. The overall experience has been good with this bike.

      mileage and speed
      This bike gives an average mileage of 32-33. The reason for the low mileage is due to the double ignition system, but very good performance. The pickup and speed are also too good. The looks are also 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.

      A Perfect Balance of comfort and Style
      I selected TVS raider because it is stylish, Fuel efficient and comfortable for daily commuting. It also has Modern features which make it better then other bikes in this range. It has a Sporty design with a refined 125CC engine which gives around 60 kmpl mileage The ride has been very practical and enjoyable. It feels like a smart daily partner light in traffic, quick when needed, and very comfortable even during longer rides. It never feels tiring. This bike feels good. I would recommend the TVS Raider because it genuinely makes everyday riding smooth. In city traffic, it feels light and easy to handle, and the pickup is good enough for quick overtakes. At the same time, it gives decent mileage, so it does not put pressure on fuel expenses. Overall, it feels like a smart and practical choice for daily use.
