        The bike has good engine performance and a sleek design. Don’t expect very high mileage—it will be around 35–40 km/l after 2–3 years. Overall, the build quality is good, and riding it feels very comfortable.

        I purchased my first Pulsar in 2011 and my second in 2014. The ride has always been extremely comfortable, with no wrist pain, back pain, or disc issues. I have been using the Pulsar 150 for the past 14 years, and it still runs without any problems. Even my first Pulsar remains in excellent running condition.
