        I’ve used this bike in Leh-Ladakh, and I absolutely love riding it! I’m a huge fan of my bike. Bajaj has done a great job in manufacturing it. I trust my Pulsar bike completely.

        Achha hai, baaki sab kuch bahut achha hai. Kisi ko bhi lena ho toh le sakta hai. Features bhi bahut achhe hain, Bluetooth bhi included hai.
