    Slightly high 

    Pulsar 125 is a commuter segment vehicle, So it's not a performance oriented one.Riding position is good and it's also good for taller guys.Overall weight is little big, But some times the weight is good for stability and handling (it's only included in the times of cornering and build quality matters).I will get 45 kmpl mileage in non traffic straight rode.The top end speed is 113 kmph but if you cover 70 kmph, Vibration level is at the peak and at this time the engine wil produce excess heat and it will irritating your legs (especially right leg).Chain portion is a curse of pulsar bikes so it will also disturbed you in this bike at every 500 kms (loosed chain and sounds from inner sprocket section).Service cost is slightly high in authorized service centers.After sales service is depends on your dealer; i think popular bajaj is gives you better service experience.No extra features like gear position indicator, Usb charging port, Bluetooth connectivity, Abs etc.Abs system replaced by combi system in to this bike.

    My Experience with the Bajaj Pulsar 125 

    After a year of using the Bajaj Pulsar 125, I am ready to share my thoughts on this popular commuter bike. This model's engine performance with its 124 cc DTS-i engine produces a reasonable 11.8 PS power makes it suitable for daily city rides. The bike is fuel efficient which is a great plus, offering around 50 to 55 km/l, saving me a lot on fuel costs.However, the bike’s light weight while making it movement affects its stability at high speeds or windy conditions.

    Testing Out the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V 

    Having driven the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V for a few months, I am quite pleased with its performance. The upgraded 159 cc 4 valve engine is a delight, providing better power and torque than its siblings. The ride quality is superb all thanks to the optimized chassis and suspension setup. On city roads and highways alike, it proves to be a smooth operator.On the downside, the fuel economy is a bit less than I expected, I average around 40 kmpl.which, although decent but it is not the best in this segment.

    The tvs recently launched a new bike in the segment of 125cc motorcycle-"tvs raider 125".This model will go up against the likes of hero glamour, Bajaj pulsar ns 125, And most importantly, The segment-leading honda shine and sp 125.Design :-during the last few years, Tvs has been making quite great products in terms of design and the raider 125 is no different.Upfront, The bike gets an all-led headlamp with cross-styled led drls and these should look good in the dark.The fuel tank of the bike is well chiselled(thanks to the sharp character lines and a dual-tone this is super exclusive bike and big lone sit comfortably my fevroute bike amazing colour red black combination is too much attractive look.
