Some Pulsar User Reviews are Provided Below

Siam Sakhaowat Shamya said, "My Pulsar 150cc bike has disc brakes on both wheels. I have ridden it regularly for 6 months so far and had it serviced once. I mostly rode the bike on urban roads and got a mileage of 35-40 km per liter. I used octane fuel. I liked everything about the bike, but the headlight's illumination isn't very strong. I haven't made any modifications yet. I might install fog lights later. I usually wash the bike once a week. I use mineral engine oil. I haven't changed any parts yet. In these 6 months, I haven't encountered any issues with the bike's control and have received good mileage. I am satisfied with the bike's performance."

Md. Shahadat said, "I fell in love with this bike because of its gorgeous looks. Its speed, mileage, and performance all seemed excellent to me. I have ridden it for up to 2500 km so far, and I've gotten over 50 kmpl mileage, although many say it's not possible to get over 45 kmpl. I regularly cleaned the bike and used engine oil. I am using Super 4T 20W-50 as engine oil. I got very good performance on the highway. On city roads, you will get good mileage in 3rd gear, and on highways, you will get good mileage in 5th gear. No major servicing or parts replacement was needed. I am satisfied with using this bike so far."

Masud Akhtar said, "I got 48 km per liter mileage on the new bike. Many people are concerned about this bike's mileage; my experience is that I got 45+ mileage at economy speed. Its seating position is comfortable. The handlebar, brakes, and gear shifting work smoothly. Those who ride for long durations will be able to ride very comfortably. The speed and acceleration are excellent. The wheel size is quite good, and the body graphics are very beautiful, which I found to give a gorgeous look. Since there is no chain cover, I regularly clean the chain sprocket because a lot of dirt gets stuck in an open chain. Overall, the bike is one of my favorites."
