Can the Pulsar N160 tackle long distance touring?
30 January 2025 09:19
It's all about expectations I think. The N160 is a great budget touring guitar. It's efficient, it’s reliable, and it’s comfortable enough. It won't compete with the bigger bikes built for touring, but don't expect it to.
Is the Pulsar N160 the safest bike in its segment as Bajaj claims?
30 January 2025 09:19
I believe there is more marketing than reality to the N160's safety claim. It has good features, but safety isn’t the only factor. Build quality and long term reliability also play a role. These we need more time to judge.
In real world riding, how does the Pulsar N160’s engine compare to the NS160?
30 January 2025 09:19
I've been on both and the N160's engine is definitely more refined. At higher RPMs it is smoother and doesn’t vibrate as much as the NS160. Compared with the N160, the N160 is definitely more comfortable for daily commuting.
Is the Pulsar N160 a good starter bike for beginners?
30 January 2025 09:19
You all fail to remember the maintenance aspect. There are a lot of things I love about the N160, but one of the best is that it's a pretty reliable and easy to maintain bike (which is important for a beginner who might not know much about bike upkeep).
Is the Pulsar N160 all that it's cracked up to be?
30 January 2025 09:19
I honestly believe the hype is warranted. The Pulsar N160 isn't just another Pulsar, it's a complete overhaul. The older Pulsars had a rougher engine but this new one is buttery smooth and the power delivery is just right for city riding. Plus, the dual channel ABS on the higher variant is a game changer for safety in this segment.
How do things hold up over time on the Pulsar N150?
30 January 2025 09:16
The build quality on this thing is great for the price point. It’s not premium, but it feels solid and well engineered. I've ridden it off road and it has handled the abuse without a single part coming loose or breaking. It's tougher than it looks.
What is the Pulsar N150 like for taller riders?
30 January 2025 09:16
I think it has more to do with your body proportions than just height. I'm 6'1" with a longer torso, and the N150 is pretty comfortable. My legs don't seem too bent and I feel natural reach to the handlebars. It’s a matter of how well your body fits into the triangle between the seat, pegs and bars.
Is the Pulsar N150 good for long distance touring?
30 January 2025 09:16
I believe it has to do with your expectations. The limitations will really make themselves known if you’re used to riding larger bikes. However, it can be a fun way to tour if you do it the right way. Because of the lightweight nature, it’s great for exploring backroads and tight spots that bigger bikes may have trouble with.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar N150 the hype it is made out to be?
30 January 2025 09:16
I honestly believe the hype is deserved. The Pulsar line feels like a proper evolution of the N150. It’s a big improvement over the older models in terms of build quality, and the new features like LED headlight and digital cluster actually make sense. It's not revolutionary, but it's a good step up.
What is the Pulsar N125 Bluetooth like in heavy traffic conditions?
30 January 2025 09:13
Weaving through cars is perfect from the riding position. They weren’t too aggressive, they weren’t too upright.
Is the Pulsar N125 Bluetooth living up to the Pulsar brand’s performance legacy?
30 January 2025 09:13
The performance is underwhelming, but it’s got the Pulsar look. It doesn't feel like a true Pulsar to me.
Is the Pulsar N125 Bluetooth worth the extra over the standard N125?
30 January 2025 09:13
I wish I had gotten the Bluetooth version. I mean it’s a small price to pay for added convenience.
Is the Bluetooth feature on the Pulsar N125 actually useful, or just a gimmick?
30 January 2025 09:13
For a 125cc bike, it's overkill. This is a commuter bike, and most people buying it don’t need fancy tech.
How does the ride quality of the Pulsar N125 Bluetooth compare to its competitor?
30 January 2025 09:13
I think Bajaj nailed it. It's sporty enough to wear when you want it to, but comfortable enough for daily use.
Is the Pulsar N125 a good platform for customization?
30 January 2025 09:08
Great platform to learn about bike mods. The first step is to start small with levers and grips and then work your way up to performance mods.
As a first bike for new riders, how does the Pulsar N125 fare?
30 January 2025 09:08
It's a good middle ground. It’s not too boring like some smaller bikes, but it’s not too intimidating either, compared to jumping straight to a 150cc or higher.
How is the Pulsar N125 in long rides?
30 January 2025 09:08
Surprisingly good! I did a 300km trip and it was comfortable all the way through. As long as you take breaks every 2 hours, you’ll be fine.
Do the Pulsar N125 have enough grunt to keep up with 150cc bikes in real world riding?
30 January 2025 09:08
The N125 is more than enough for daily commutes. If you bike often with friends on 150cc bikes, you may want to feel left behind on longer rides.
Does the Bajaj Pulsar N125 deserve all the hype?
30 January 2025 09:08
I believe Bajaj missed the boat here. Either way, it’s not here, it’s not there - not as efficient as other 125cc bikes, not as powerful as 150cc bikes.
How does F250 build quality and fit and finish stack up against premium 250cc offering?
30 January 2025 09:06
I was worried on the build quality coming from a KTM, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I feel as if it is a solid and well put together. My only weak point I've found is the mirrors, they vibrate a lot at high speeds.
