I got a Pulsar DTS-i 180cc

Hai ,
after 6.5 years with suzuki fiero , I sold the piece .

.the problem is ,fiero get knocking with me in hills(btw ,I am 105Kgs now

) .then today ,I got this 7/2006 Bajaj Pulsar DTS-i 180cc for Rs 36,500/- at exactly 6:30PM .I dont know if it is loss or profit. for me ,mileage shown by other bikes simply is not valid ,since payload is already reached

.I hope this bike can atleast cruise me fine

Do ,flow your thoughts reg pulsar here.
EDIT :added pics

first shed some weight, you dont wanna spend money and time on ailments.

Good deal. Congrats.

Dude! I thought we were the cool Fiero dudes out here! Now who am I gonna share the twin advantage with?! A sad day for Fiero owners.

Congrats

But do not forget - Time to start exercising

yeah.need to exercise. it is a sad thing to know that most current bikes cant stand by city driving.(sudden stop-start-stop way).

Thanks all.
@goobi :fiero simply cant pull me after these many years..kya karein

what is the mileage for pulsar-180 ?

Oh well, congrats then! Pulsar sure is an awesome bike.

105 kg? You should've bought a bicycle then. Would've got some exercise and what mileage!

You would've lost half the weight before the wheels have become square with the weight. :lol:

Anyway, all seriousness aside, congratulations! Your Pulsar will give you mileage of around 40 kmpl.

Now we have another pulsar in this forum after Mehul.

Congrats Praka

^^wtf? pulsar is so common !

Congrats dude,

but I'm a Royal Enfield Bullet fan......

I don't like any bike except the Bull....

Nice decision.....congrats,it will give 40~45 km/l
180 can easily pull ur weight

new bike gives 40-43kmpl

my cousin's 2.6k km run bike returns 43-45, smooth riding.

it depends on how your bike was used, rash riding wud mean below 40. (1st owner's)

Good buy
But watch your weight, 105 kg is not good.

nice bike for 'mouse potatoes' like u

btw I like pulsar, but its too heavy for skinny guys like me

Erachi Olathiyatthu aae Karikavu......

. Screw excercising . If you have Rubber at home. get up in the morning and tap it. Illangil aaa thoomba edathu kilaku!

Jinmatt, pulsar aint heavy man. And anyways you have to ride the bike, not lift it.

And what about the time when you have to put it on the main stand?

Arey yaar thats more to do with common sense and some knowledge of physics than strength.

Well, I'm also slim. My weight is about 60+kg and height is 5'11" and I've rided Bullet Electra......

ask bajaj

weight reduction = bigger cyl. displacement means less metal
(p150 & p180 have same block) some 200+gms must be lost
maybe they took some weight off the engine. (maybe diff. valves...)
not sure

wtf????? I wanted to sell my pulsar 180 and been hunting for people for the last 2 months!! you could have bought it from me for 35K!! wtf.....!! grrrrr....

Congratulations for the new purchase.

A thought- If you bought the new bike just because the Fiero couldn't carry you then you should have reduced your weight instead of buying a new bike. It'll be better for you. Anyway you can start excercising now & be a healthy man (uncle

).

Maybe they've reduced the size of the fuel tank. :???:

changed the right footrest(rider) . shred off Rs 213 ,a tank cover =Rs150/-

.nothing much .everything is up2date. the previous owner clocked 43K kms(I believe!). he gave all oem things. like toolkit ,workshop log etc. seems this bike is gonna be heavy on pocket.never mind. me will be covering around 550-600kms per month only

normal riding speed 40-45kms on crowded roads .60kms on highway. enough na?

F

For big people you should have also considered and Enfield

. Although the Mileage is dreadful

. But you definitely ride in style !!!

^enfield? tried for around one month and ditched

indeed riding enfield is a great experience ,the amount of parts falling from the motorcycle will make you stay away from it

Enfield - was my dream (still its my dream lol). Never tried that, but love it. But I am only 68Kg. Not sure how it will look if I ride Enfield. That will be like pappan and aana !! lol

Avenger would have been a good option too.

I used to ride an Enfield some time back (my brother had two). But then he sold one and the other one he treats like his wife, so no enfield for me! The riding experience is awesome though.

^enfield? tried for around one month and ditched indeed riding enfield is a great experience ,the amount of parts falling from the motorcycle will make you stay away from it

Ive been using Enfields for ages now and haven't had pieces falling down from them

.

Enfield - was my dream (still its my dream lol). Never tried that, but love it. But I am only 68Kg. Not sure how it will look if I ride Enfield. That will be like pappan and aana !! lol

If I drive to Ekm Ill give you a ring and let you give it a test Drive

.

While parts don't fall off them the maintenance is a real pain. Compared to that my Fiero hardly ever has any starting problem or whatnot.

fiero was literally free of maintanance (even delayed oil changes!) for those years.

now feeling nostalgia after selling it

.

@Filled-void : what I meant was the same pain

.you have to be a mechanic to maintain bullets.esp the old Royal Pain called "Royal Enfield" :))

wait for the snaps of pulsar soon...

F

@Filled-void : what I meant was the same pain .you have to be a mechanic to maintain bullets.esp the old Royal Pain called "Royal Enfield"

Thats quite true

.

I have never driven any bike except my Bullet

Now i cannot drive any since i love my "jahaj" and i am too used to gear on the opposite side.

Since Chandigarh has highest number of Bullet sales in India AFAIK....almost 40% guys own it. If anyone has been to Chandigarh, he knows the Roads here are awesome....so i clock around 33KMPL

I wonder why people like Bullets so much. They don't look that great (to me), they are not that fast, nor give good mileage, nor are reliable, cost a bomb and have an exhaust note like an Elephant with gas problem. Why then do people like them so much is beyond me.

Congo Praka!

You gotta change your keychain.. The one in the pic sux.. :razz:

^ofcourse

Have you ridden one?

well ,bullets and amby's are slowly going to history...

That's quite a good looking machine you have there. ;-)

Remove that bag on the fuel tank though. It's ghastly. And get the left mirror. It's important.

And are those pics taken with your N73? Cause they are amazing. :smile:

No.

No.

If it wasn't for the maintenance and the fuel guzzling, I would certainly get a bullet for myself. Screw it how I look on a bullet, they are fun to ride.

I removed the left mirror because it is not needed for me

.then tank cover to carry daily supplies

Praka the pics are great.
Taken from N73?

^ofcourse ! I dont have any camera now.(kodak one was lost!).

guys , as you know with grrrreat power comes grreat responsibilities

,so thinking of buying a good quality helmet .do suggest.BTW ,normal helmets dont fit with my head.

You mean to say even after getting a second bike you still don't have a helmet?! WTF! Go and buy yourself a good ISI marked helmet before touching that bike again.

And it's wrong to think that helmets are only required for faster bike. Even if you have a scooty, you should still use a helmet. You might not be going fast, but what about the other morons on the road? You can't guarantee them.

I have helmet(s) .none of them ,I feel comfortable with.I am responsible ,reg I uses helmets on most of the rides.

Get some good and proven brands - like Studds

+1 for Studds.

Wrangler FTW!

went for a ride just now.

.sudden rain and somehow wore the raincoat and chased rain!it was fun.BTW ,checked some helmets ,including studds. nothing fits! OMFG! what am gonna do! hmm...I have to go to north paravur next week.will check out some other shops in alwaye.

"steel bird - Ninja" should fit your head

@praka- Sir ji apni photo ta dikhao Pulsar te baithe hoye di.

I hope you will understand Punjabi
