2004 Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i review from India
"Disappointment as time passes"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
This is one great bike in the beginning, and after a while... it looks like it does not keep up its promise. First thing is that the mileage drops very low after say one year (I had made 9000 kms). In fact I take care of my bike very well, be it servicing regularly, or doing my bit of maintanance.
Having had a very good RX135, the reason I went for this was because of the pickup review I got from it. Again it was too good in the start, but now I am feeling something is wrong. The vehicle is not the same as it was as far as pickup is concerned, when it was for the first several kilometres.
General comments?
Looks are great... I also feel the most recent bikes like the Apache have copied the looks of the Pulsar. But when it comes to performance, Bajaj has to do something serious. It is not a good bike in the long run, and I just dread it now.. :(
