In hilly areas of kerala ,pulsar undoubtedly is the best seller.I can find
p150 much more in towns like thodupuzha.yes ,I owned a suzuki fiero.but now as it is obsolete ,for hilly terrain pulsars are the way.dont get shocked to find p200s and p220s in hilly areas of kerala
.
there is no confusion regarding the choice- it is pulsar and pulsar only for hilly terrains. ZMA's are a rare thing in kerala(atleast in travancore-cochin area) except for some college chaps.and another thing is pulsar can be serviceable and spare parts availability is much better than hero honda or tvs/suzuki /
Personally ,I will recommend getting a pulsar 180 DTS-i(which I owned before having bullet ) which can climb hills better and also almost maintanence free.
many ppl are not so happy to get p200s and p220s -may be due to the complexity and difficulty to get it serviced in rural areas
,although the no. of p200's especially are increasing in rural kerala.so ,grab a p180 ,if it is still available
.
