User Review of Pulsar 180 [2001-2019] by Mskrishna

It was a great buying experience and has great ride satisfaction driving the Bajaj Pulsar 180 Dts-i. I would like to recommend every bike enthusiast to at least try this bike once in their lifetime. I hope this feedback helps the connoisseurs of bike lovers all over the country. The Journey from purchasing the bike to its end destination has been a fulfilling one.

About the Reviewer

This was my first bike, bought in my first job to commute a daily distance of 20 km (one-way). I had planned to book a Blue Pulsar 180 CC but when I saw a Red bike in the dealer's stock I was awestruck. I changed my mind and booked it that very day, despite being told that Red would take time since there were many buyers on the waiting list. Soon after I received the bike along with my daily errands and commute, I occasionally took it for long rides. Since it is one of the earlier versions of Pulsar, it has the on-demand power that one expects from a bike that big and nimble (for that time).
Even now after over 15 years of sparingly using it (since I moved to Bangalore from Chennai), it still thrills just the same. Technologically bikes have evolved but this bike will remain my favourite. I am now unable to use it as frequently and want to give it away with a heavy heart to avoid it from getting spoilt parked for too long. Servicing and maintenance have been economical, with no concerns whatsoever. The bike, however, is a powerful commuter, with a sporty design that makes the rider want to twist into the higher RPMs giving you the pleasure of the wind hitting past you but on longer rides (>100Kms) can cause a sore back and neck.

About the Reviewer

It was confusing to buy a 180 cc pulsar, but when I started using the bike it was awesome to sit on the bike. Recommend all to go for this bike. Looks very less maintenance, has a very classy look & pickup is awesome.
Each part is made with hearts, and the ride will surely blow your mind. Craziest bike.

About the Reviewer

From buying to till now, I would say "you care about your bike, the bike will care for you".
Care is timely service, always keep the bike neat and clean.
It's been more than 6 years, never faced any issues or problems while riding. One of my trusted vehicles. Long drive, daily commute, any weather, wet roads, traffic jam, blocked road etc. Your care converts into trust. Never gives to a situation where you feel disappointed.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was good-jayakrishna bajaj., coimbatore. Riding experience-smooth on highways.Sporty look and throttle performance. Servicing average in showrooms hence continued with unauthorized bajaj workshop. Pros-good pricing at 180 segment, sporty look, low maintenance, average mileage, Cons- need to work on suspension.Gear shifting rod in sporty style- engine vibration.

I brought this guy (dont mind i refer my bike`s that way always) bajaj pulsar 180 dtsi (blue/black version) after trading my old yamaha libero in the year 2009... He stayed with me till the end of 2018 with about 28k clocked km`s on odo...During this period he gave me one fo the wonderful drives even in challenging conditions...> buying experience was great as i was upgrading myself from 109cc to a 180cc, i walked in looking for a 200cc stud whereas i don't know (like filmy style) saw this model parked in entrance of showroom and somehow settled down to this guy and straight away went for it...> few 400+km round trips were really crazy and trust me he never stopped for anything and anywhere (punctures,engine issues other blah blah)> few things i felt gross during these years were - tank getting loaded with water as the drain hole kept clogging every year during rain and i had to throw out litres n litres of petrol due to this...> the stock handle bar was a pain imagine it used to bend/ give up whenever we were to adjust and pull my bike out of parking.> considering the usage being lowest for such huge span.. I wasn't bored to spend on him for all these nibbles, he got 3 paint jobs done ,got himself a sturdy split handlebar, tank extenders, and customized engine fairy/cover done for himself... > again as i said he owned me so i was not really bothered to take care of him for service breaks,spares n all..> he still churned out really good mileage between 33-38km/litre all thru his life (i.E almost 10 years) even when we regularly cruised at an avg of 40-60km/hr speed inside city which we rode for maximum period. I have migrated to the much minnow suzuki access 125 now (imagine married guys fate) but whenever i see these latest big boys on road i always miss him to the core...I have narrated the entire package in my ways and sincere apologies for any typo error n slag.

About the Reviewer

1. Bought this bike in 2013. It costed around 87K on road then.
2. I used this bike for commuting, touring, everything. Till now covered 60000 km and still running.
3. Looks never got old. 180 & 220 are the heartthrob before R15 & Duke came in. Color still shines. 127 top speed achieved.
4. Maintenance cost 500-1000 per service. (unless service centers try to loot your entire money). Changing oil in 3-4K interval is needed. Parts need to be changed rarely. I've got my tires changed every 20000 km.
5. Pros- Enough powerful for that much cost. Good mileage 35-40 kmpl. Low maintenance. Pretty comfortable for any ride. Good horn (I love the twin sound).
Cons- braking (for older models. Now it has improved a lot with ABS & rear disc). Lighting is very poor (now we can get 180F for higher price which got better headlamps). Main stand touches every speed breakers.

About the Reviewer

As i am the rider of bajaj pulsar 180 that is very good road grip riding on the road and feeling excited while riding that bike excellent disc brake and back brake. There is no maintenance expenses, good at the price of they were given. When you people go for long ride this bike is give's an good feeling and smooth ride.

About the Reviewer

It's cost so high for poor people range. Having high capacity but their fuel tank shape not good.This is a low mileage bike. If companies change in the shape of this bike fuel tank otherwise accidentally problem occurs many times. It's new model catchy and undesirable in comparison of pulsar 150. All is well.
