      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.

      paisa vasool bike
      Maine 2 mahine pehle Hero Splendor Plus kharida hai aur honestly ye bike daily use ke liye bahut badhiya hai, Iski mileage mujhe around 65-70 kmpl mil rahi hai jo petrol ke hisaab se kaafi paise bachati hai, Bike ka engine smooth hai aur city mein chalane mein bahut comfortable lagti hai. Maine isse lagbhag ₹78,000 ke aas-paas showroom price mein liya tha aur on-road price thodi zyada padi maintenance bhi bahut kam hai aur spare parts easily mil jate hain. Agar koi student ya office ke liye ek reliable aur budget friendly bike dhoond raha hai toh Hero Splendor Plus best option hai simple look acchi mileage aur Hero ka trusted engine paisa vasool bike hai.
