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 most underrated feature of the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider?
30 January 2025 09:14
The build quality is top-notch. It all feels solid and it’s all put together; that’s not always the case with limited production cars.
What would you change about the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider if you could?
30 January 2025 09:14
Add some modern driver aids. It would be more daily drivable with things like adaptive cruise control.
What is the biggest challenge of owning an Alfa Romeo 8C Spider?
30 January 2025 09:14
It’s a nightmare finding a qualified mechanic. Those who do know how to work on these charge a fortune, and not many people know how to work on these.
Modern supercars are compared to the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider.
30 January 2025 09:14
Today’s supercars would burn the 8C in a track day, but they don’t have its soul. This is a throwback to when driving was as much a feeling as it was a number.
Does the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider live up to the hype?
30 January 2025 09:14
It's a mixed bag. The design is timeless and one of the best out there, but the driving experience doesn't quite measure up against modern supercars. It's a unique ownership experience, though.
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.
