Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS price in Ottapalam

Its been more than 11 years I am using pulsar 135 Ls. It is the first in sport look category by Bajaj. Stylish headlamps, comfortable front and back seating captures your eye. It is a bike designed to attract the youth market. I purchased 135 Ls in 2011, ridden for more than 70,000 kms so far. The longest at a stretch ride was for 650 kms and didn't find any glitch. Being a trekker, i had ridden my bike throughout Karnataka, in difficult roads, hills and off road. However the bike has its own pros and cons.
Pro's
1. Stylish look, comfortable seating
2. 50+ mileage
3. 14 litre fuel tank to support long drive
4. Attractive pricing
5. Low maintenance cost
Cons
1. Very slow pick up, particularly once you cross 50,000 kms you feel little uncomfortable in highways
2. Vehicle starts vibrating as you reach 80 km/h.
3. Poor road grip. I have experienced many times
4. Rough seating. Pillion rider seating is not comfortable
5. Engine is the biggest problem. I had to shell out 10,000 to rework once the vehicle crossed 50,000 kms.
Bajaj is an established brand. Since the day I purchased didn't find any glitch in servicing the vehicle. After sales service it is also good. Overall appearance of vehicle is stylish sports look. Need improvement in on-road performance.

I bought this bike from a local dealer, riding experience is good and really comfortable. Clip on the handlebar makes it more comfortable and also adds styling looks to the bike. The bike looks more stylish. It was called that time 'baby pulsar'. Performance was good at the time of the initial days I achieved roughly 110 kmph speed but after 4-5 years it goes down. Mileage of bike was initially 50-55 kmpl late on it drop significantly to 35-40. I spend so much on repairs & maintenance. This model become now outdated and discontinue by the company.

Sporty looks, excellent pickup like all other pulsar variants, stable on road, suspensions are on the stiffer side, slite engine noise, oil leak issue initially but it was repaired in the first service. Split seats may cause less comfort to pillion riders on a long drive, mileage is better than 150 cc plus bikes, and overall excellent riding experience.
