        Very good bike, It rides safely and smoothly, even on long journeys. The bike is in great condition with a nice design, good mileage, and strong pickup. Service is reliable. It gives the feeling of a hero bike but at an economical price.

        I like the Bajaj Pulsar bike because it’s very good. The body is solid, mileage is satisfactory, and I like the color. The price is reasonable, and I’m looking forward to Dussehra festival offers for the Pulsar 160cc.
