The Bajaj Pulsar 180 is a remarkable bike. It's powerful, efficient, and reliable. The engine delivers strong performance, making it perfect for both city commutes and long rides. Its sporty design and stylish features give it a dynamic presence on the road. The comfortable seating ensures a comfortable riding experience, even on extended journeys. I love its smooth handling and responsive brakes; navigating through traffic is effortless. Overall, the Pulsar 150 is an excellent choice for riders seeking a versatile and dependable bike that offers a perfect balance of performance and comfort.

About the Reviewer

Wanted it since my school days, and bought it in 2016.
1. Bought it for Rs.89,970/-
2. The first was smooth as all new bikes give.
3. Always had been a fan of naked looks, the bikini fairing was the best version.
4. Talking about the performance and other things, the performance is decent, I got a mileage of 55kmpl in the first 3 years, but later on due to negligence of service center people the bike did not get what it needed and the mileage fell to 40 km but it's fine after 6 years it's a good one for pulsar 180. The power was always great.
Maintenance - first few services were cheap but later due to poor service network and negligence of service center mechanics of Bajaj the cost went up and up. But it was okay as its a street bike, that too in the 180cc segment it's fine. But Bajaj focuses on earning from spare parts and after-sale services hence it could've been a better experience but nvm Pulsar is love.
In 6 years I've replaced the chainset twice, the front tyre twice, the front shocker rod once, clutch plates once, (I ride hard :p)
The rear tyre thrice, the lock set once, the con set once, handlebar keeps on getting loose but the handling is sharp and fine. Overall I spend approx 10k on services and spare parts last year i.E. 2022,
I've completed 54000 kms on it, which pretty decent in 6 years
Pros and cons
Pros - better fuel efficiency than Pulsar 220
Power is great
The looks are killer
Maintenance is low compared to others in the segment.
Parts are cheap in the aftermarket.
The engine is powerful and has better-built quality compared to others in today's time.
Cons
Poor bajaj services
Costly parts if u buy them from the agency.

About the Reviewer

I bought this beast in 2014 I never got any type of disappointment while riding. Every day I use to challenge myself with other bikes and heavy vehicles because you won't feel to ride this bike at 40 to 50 kmph you feel that it should be above 80 +plus, I am very lucky to have such a superpower bike in my college life and it will be memorable every time to me a lot of love to this beast from me...

About the Reviewer

I bought it in October 2021 and white color dagger edge edition.
I was getting of millage 69kmpl with an average speed of 55kmph (shell long ride engine oil)
I reached a top speed 145kmph and a milEage is 25 kmpl (milEage was 25 kmpl with a speed of 120+)
In a single day, I traveled from chennai to sri-rangam (300 km, speed was 95 to 110 mileage was upto 47 kmpl it took 4 hours) sri-rangam to dhanushkodi (sri-rangam to dhanushkodi 250 km) no more hiccups with engine and no more heat with the engine. Service was bad in Chennai anywhere in Chennai it's a bad experience.
Pros: good for daily commuters as well as touring ( don't think about the engine it's very good bs6 engine)
Cons: required broad seats for touring, mono shock, pillion backrest, led headlight, rear wheel abs, instrument cluster light was too high brightness.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding this beast for the last 10yrs, my father gifted me this machine on 3rd June 2012 and now it's been almost 10.5yrs from the last 5yrs I'm working and this has been my daily commute for 60kms a day, this machine never disappointed me at any part of my life still, I had applied several modifications to this bike but still, it's running smoothly and now it's been ban in India.
I'll never sell this beast until my last breath whatever the situation is......

About the Reviewer

This pulsar 180cc bike i have purchased on April , 2016. The total run is almost 11000km till April 2022. The buying experience was very smooth. I have it from pulsar showroom, bennaraghatta, bangalore. The riding experience is very smooth and comfortable. I personally like the look very much. Servicing I have done previously on time for the beginning 2 years, after that last 4 years no servicing done, but the bike runs smoothly, so maintenance cost is very low. Only the original battery that came with the bike runs for only one year. After that I changed the battery and purchased Exide 4 yrs one, this battery is still running well for 5 years.

About the Reviewer

1.Pulsar 180 is costly.. Before 18 plus please don't buy it.
2.It has 4 stroke dtsi engine which gives good acceleration with mileage of 37 km/h
3.Look is good, having 5 gear,135 km/h is normal and fine.
4.1st servicing in 500 to 600km in 1st month.
5. Sound, power is nice, but safety is ok but not good..

About the Reviewer

See guys, from my riding experience of Bajaj pulsar 180, no doubt it is a much powerful bike with great tyres and mileage. But there is one main issue in this bike and due to that reason i sold the bike. Reason is its height. Its height should have been as of pulsar 150. Otherwise it is a very good bike, but due to its height issue, i sold the bike and purchased pulsar 150. Height may not be an issue for all, but from my perspective it is an issue that needs to be noticed and implemented.

About the Reviewer

I have this gentle giant since 2005 and at that time the on road price came upto 80,000/- INR. All in silver color and has never let me down still! Lowest maintenance cost and parts are available "Anywhere". I am still getting a mileage of around 50 per litre and in todays date, based on the rising fuel cost, this is super economic. Both the front and rear suspensions are still stock! Imagine a bike manufactured in 2005 and still running strong! Of course regular service is a must to maintain any vehicle and yes, no repair jobs done ever on this bike as i have always believed in replacing rather than repairing. This has also perhaps given a better life to this love of my life! I have used this for touring, daily commute etc. The instrument cluster is not digital and this is a very strong point of this bike. Also, no LED's present makes the battery being used only for necessary activities. Overall, my experience with this bike, right from riding posture, riding comfort to service availability has been really good! Rest assured, i will never exchange or sell it unless this is ready to be scrapped. Overall and awesome experience with Bajaj 180 DTS-i! Cheers!!
