        There’s not much more to say — “Definitely Male” truly defines the Pulsar. From performance to braking and reliability, it nails everything. My NS 160 has more than enough power, delivers excellent mileage, and offers superb braking. It’s the perfect machine, especially for the youth, thanks to its aggressive style and thrilling ride. No more words — it’s simply PERFECT.
