Bajaj Pulsar 150 CC rocks , October 25, 2008

Hi everybody, I am Dipesh Majumdar, staying in Bangalore. If you are reading this u must be interested in bikes, or planning
to buy one. I hope my review will be useful for you guys. I am writing this review after using Pulsar 150 CC for 1 year 8 months. I own the new Pulsar 150 CC with digital tachometer and sharp tail, bought it on 9th Feb 2007.
The bike is very close to my heart.

Plus points of the bike :

It has good acceleration. It has a growl while accelerating as if declaring with full authority to fellow vehicles to make way for it, as it is in no mood to follow others.

It has tremendous grip on the road. I have in more than one occasion, found myself suddenly in muddy and slippery road and my heart had come out from anxiety, but the bike never ever felt like skidding or losing balance.

The new pulsar is smoother, I believe though I haven’t tried the older one. I can’t think of riding another bike because
I have become so much addicted to the Pulsar. The engine sound feels good and you feel the power getting generated from within the beast as you cruise along the roads. Kind of a good feeling but difficult to explain.

Gear shift is not a problem at all, as many people say.

Sitting posture might not be very comfortable but it’s really safe.

Long ride is a pleasure on this bike. Because the bike will never land you into situations where it will not start or any other problem. It’s very reliable. So if you take it for long distance ride, you remain assured that it won’t put you in trouble.

It has tremendous balance. The bike feels like as if it’s a 4 wheeler and doesn’t need to be balanced like a 2 wheeler.

Good loud horn alarms others strongly and you find people making way for you.

Also its very imp to take care of your bike : Take proper care of your Pulsar.

I change engine oil every 1000 km. Because I believe the engine remains smooth with this. And also the extra money
I pay because of this is made up, somewhat, on fuel efficiency because more lubrication means more mileage.

Insist on changing the carburetor every 10000 km.

Take to the service centre on time. Insist on washing your chain and lubricating it every time you service it.

Clean it everyday before taking it out with a moist cotton cloth. Polish it once a month.

Don’t accelerate immediately after you start it in the morning. Give it some time to warm up.

Its better not to accelerate it much. Make it feel comfortable by increasing the acceleration gradually.

Last but not least :

Keep in mind- Speed thrills but it also kills.

Respect the traffic police. They do a real tough job by standing amidst the dirty smoke we throw each day into the air and underneath the scorching sun in summers, the unfriendly rain in rainy seasons and in the unbearable cold in the winters.

Keep all documents safe.

Don’t run the vehicle at high speed in rain.

Keep some distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
