Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS price in Pollachi

Bought as 2nd hand since it is discontinued. Good handling, good acceleration, okay braking. Regarding performance I would tell, it's a beast in 125 cc segment, far better than many bikes in 150 segment in market. Better than pulsar 150 itself, and new pulsar 125 ns and pulsar 125. I think this bike's competition is with unicorn 150 since this bike gives both mileage and performance.
Look wise front side is not at all good but back side its good. I think Bajaj redesigned this bike to make pulsar ns series. If you look at the rear, you will find that. The tail lamp itself is like ns series like tail lamp
Regarding service, I would say I haven't gone to Bajaj showroom for service until now, rather I prefer local bike mechanics.
Since my bike is 2nd hand there were lot of wear and tear. Once I changed diaphragm.
It cost me around 500+
Pros
Mileage 50-60 (found 58.9 from a long trip)
If required delivers good performance, better than pulsar 150
Cons
Wish it looked better from the front.

About the Reviewer

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.
