Bajaj Pulsar 150 [2001-2011] Mileage

I am the second owner of the pulsar 2006 model it has been retested and certified fit for the next 5 years, I have also bought a used cbr 250 r recently but since pulsar is my first bike I couldn't sell it and it is in superb condition, despite the fact the parts are not of brilliant quality bajaj service team is superb. I use shell 4t 10 w synthetic oil for the past three times and found the machine much refined.
I am getting an average mileage of 45 kmpl in a local run and maximum mileage of 72 kmpl which I got doing an economical ride while maintaining avg rpm and around 55 km/hr speed.
The main concern for this bike is I feel hard to sit on this after completing 40 kms in a single stretch.

I bought the bike in 2010. Pretty easy to book the bike. The salesperson did all the paperwork. The bike is a kind of fusion of family and sports bikes. The mileage is the best part. I used to get around 45-50 initially, still after 10 years, it gave around 25-30km. It's a stylish bike with low-performance issues and low-cost maintenance. It's a hard and tough bike. It gives an amazing riding experience at the cost. The posture is well maintained. The problems I encountered with the bike are due to poor suspension, and high vibrations on a long ride.

Firstly, the buying experience was very nice. Easily available and the showroom people were also very nice.
For daily use, this is a no brainer. Mileage is so-so good(around 40-45 in the city). Around 50 on highways. Also the bike is not that bulky so it can be handled easily
Look wise, pulsar is at par with any bike of this price range.
You don't need to spend much on service on maintenance.
Pros-
1. For daily use this is awesome.
2. Mileage is pretty good
3. Look wise awesome in this range
4. Good pick up and also you can ride at low speeds in 3rd gear. So you don't need to shift gears every now and then
Cons-
1. If you ride continuously for 2-3 hours the engine gets too much heated. So you have to take a break in between. Nice if you ride for 150-200 km. But after that you will face issues, mainly heating problem
2. Turning radius is not that good. So it is a problem
3. There is a small hole in the silencer for water to come out. But sometimes this creates problem as you can feel that moisture and water when you start the bike
