      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.

      Splendor is a good bike for daily commuters as it delivers a good mileage and smooth performance. In one word, a buget king or mileage king. Moreover maintainance is also low, parts are easily available in market. I will recommend this bike for all the office commuter as well as for local users. Overall nice bike.
