Ok, accepted your clarifications.
I think that 7 months of event free experience says a lot of things.
Well, this thread is turning into a debate.
For the sake of the one who has posted the question, here is my take on both bikes.
Pulsar 135LS
+ Zippy performance courtesy the 4 valve engine and light weight (
122 kg kerb weight) body.
+ Sharp handling thanks to the new chassis and firmer suspension
+ Good fuel efficiency (
I got around 55-58 kmpl in my two week ownership)
+ Loaded with features: Digital Speedometer, Split seat, Split grab rail, Clip on handlebars, Backlit switches
- Slight vibes at around 6000 rpm (
vanishes after that though)
- Slighty firmer suspension
Gladiator
+ Great engine, almost gives the feeling of a high revving 4 valve engine.
+ Good handling
+ Good ride quality as well
- Somehow the bike has never sold in numbers to its potential
And oh yes.. the Pulsar 135LS is now coming with the "Split Two Piece" hugger design and half chain cover (
that was available in Indonesia) in India too..!!
