    Great bikes 

    One of the great bikes by bajaj in the pulsar segment.During its launch it was a real sizzler however with new technology and market demand many segments and brands are way about it now however it would still give you a rich experience.I still remember bajaj as" buland bharat ki buland tasveer - hamara bajaj".

    Long term vehicle : Bajaj Pulsar 220 F 

    Having owned the Bajaj Pulsar 220 F for over three years now, I have really gotten to know the ins and outs of this bike. It is powered by a 220 cc engine with 20 PS power and it really shows its performance on highways with its thrilling acceleration. The styling is aggressive and has a charm that still turns heads.On the downside, the Pulsar 220 F is on the heavier side weighing about 160 kg which makes it a bit cumbersome in urban traffic. The mileage is not impressive either, I get about 35-40 km/l, which is less than ideal for my daily commute.

    Thrilling Yet Demanding 

    After clocking in over a thousand kilometers on my KTM 390 Adventure, it is clear that this bike aims to offer a thrilling experience paired with real adventure capabilities. The 373 cc engine with a powerful 43 HP and torque of 37 Nm makes any terrain feel conquerable. Its robust build and electronic offerings like traction control and cornering ABS accentuate its premium feel.However, the true adventure comes with challenges. The high fuel consumption observed during off road sessions and a bigger tank would be handy, as the 14.5 liters sometimes do not feel enough.
