About the Reviewer

It's a very thorough review, if you want comparisons just check final verdict at the end. I have owned this bike from quite some time now. I was thinking to buy a 150cc upgrading from 125cc bajaj bike. But due to 3k different and much better feel in riding, i opted for this.So, buying experience was quite nice. Just gave the cash and took my bike from showroom on spot (no waiting).Initial torque feels really nice, and you could get around 50 easily, which feels fine if you are riding within a city.Its bigger tyres (especially rear one) is sufficient enough to tilt it on any side. Once i felt that i am falling but the bike was supportive enough to keep me going.But on the other hand, due to its handle, it has a big turning radius. You either have to skid your tyres or reverse it a bit if you want to take a you turn in single lane.Looks are good. Although except 3d pulsar logo, everything else is sticker (in my 3 year old model at-least).Seating is a let down for me. I have push myself back to get some support for my thighs. Although, i haven't yet found a suitable bike which won't tire me from its seats (including avenger and bullet).Console feels quite dated now, its been nearly same from last few years.It surely feels like a worthy upgrade from any 150cc bike. Fz is 13bhp and its 17bhp sure does creates difference in riding "practically".It's headlamp is also able to produce enough light to be able to see at quite some distance so that you can drive at around 50 60 easily during night as well.Coming onto clutch and gear. There is definitely some problem with bajaj's clutch and gear. Nearly every bike from bajaj seems to have this issue ranging from 100cc discover, 125cc xcd, 180 and avenger. All had some issue with gears. They just get stuck and you have to apply much higher push than normal.Braking is ok ok. Rear discs would have definitely added much needed punch in bike.Also, my bike had battery issues as well. Warranty let me replace 1 battery but now there is issue in other battery as well. And since there is no kick option, bajaj should take care that battery has a better life. (it has exide's battery which is one of the best in industry but don't know why its keep getting spoiled).Maintaining this bike is absolutely cheap. Parts are cheap and easily available. But quality is also not reliable.Servicing of vehicles is joke in India. Have your own knowledge of vehicle and service its yourself. Don't fall into extended warranty trap. Just ask someone to wash it. I faced chain jamming issue because some idiot put used or may be oil with dirt due to which chain was not flowing properly. You would be lucky to find a good mechanic.Since i have mentioned all pros and cons part by part let me get to comparisons:1st option that comes to your head is apache 180, i did thought of it but then i have read so many reviews with problem in piece. I mean, i can't let luck decide whether my hard earned money was spent wisely or not (that's why we read reviews).2nd is new (or yet to be launched) avenger 180 but that has absolutely different shape and style.Other options are hornet, fz and 150. You have to make a choice between fuel and riding experience between 150 and 180. 150 has 5 10kmpl more average. Fz(s) is 1 to 5k higher priced but also has (much) higher selling value. Has much better clutch and gears along with fuel efficiency. But power and pickup is on lower end than 180.Haven't driven hornet but with specs sheet it feels to be in same proposition in as fz. Final verdict:You can try apache and pulsar if you want power and speed at this budget. Mind you wider tyre of pulsar does helps at high speeds. You should try fz/hornet if you can compromise speed n power for better reliability and selling price (hornet isn't that much popular as fz).Go for 150 if you need cheapest one and here only to read the review.Apache 160 over 150 for rear disc and looks.Happy biking!

About the Reviewer

The bike price was fare..And it's power was not so bad but not like 220...Headlight was not so powerful..The main disadvantage is that it's have non abs..If it's have abs..Then it's a perfect bike for all bike lover who want some pick up for overtake and safety measure.You can feel some vibration in 100 above speed..But in 60-70.Its ok..

About the Reviewer

I like this bike because you will feel a sports bike which we can't buy.Smooth bike with nice pick up and average. Please take a ride and decide to buy as i have never seen bike like pulsar 180.L use this bike for daily use. You should prefer 180 instead of pulsar 150.Everyone i will suggest to buy black colour .

About the Reviewer

This is my first bike bought it on 2010 and clocked above 50k. Still i used to ride banglore-chennai in this bike. Its a trade mark pulsar the best. Once changed chain sprocket and regular service is enough. I dint face any other major issue because of good maintenance. Best for family persons as well as youngsters within the budget.

About the Reviewer

Style best look in its class.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox delivers better performance than promised by the company. The engine is powerful, and the new technology actually gives better mileage. The gear shifting is smooth.

Ride quality & handling very comfortable and smooth.

Final words total value for money. Best product in its class.

Areas of improvement keep getting more variants.

Pros

very comfortable; the balancing is really good; total value for money

cons

haven't found any yet

Pulsar 180 was more than the 150 and matched the 220,one can beat the traffic with awesome handling and hit the flat out roads with ease,well over 100km/h. At cruising speeds over 110 the bike is still stable and trust me if you are up for a drag it will surprise you. Split seats give you comfortable seating both for rider and pillion and the best part is how the rider sits perfectly in the sweet spot. 180 had its era. A great bike

About the Reviewer

It was a awesome performance when compared to another bikes in same cc. It rides in smooth and looks like a monster,the long trips are very comfortable to handling.Its gear shifting style is very good.Its also look like a mini super duke, it has a rear big tyre for stunts.Its cost was very less when compared to other bikes
