      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.
