Pulsar NS rear tyre section is not 120 but 130....

the wider the tyre the more effect it would have on mileage... it applies to all automobiles right from a bike to a car....

Happy Riding....

Though i could not test ride the bike in pune, still i went ahead and booked it. The reasons -
1. Excellent peer review (word of mouth publicity).
2. Differentiation (First Duke )
3. A fast bike without fairing
4. Appetite for risking 3000 if initial owner reviews doesn't come as pleasing as expected.

I hope i took a good decision! Time will tell.

Yesterday evening @ 4 pm, it was ~ 60. I believe right now it would be ~ 70-80. But this coming weekend, it could cross the 3 figure mark. I think the non availability of Test Drive has kept the booking @ a lower rate.

They attendant in the showroom said it would be available for TD in another week. Held up because of some RTO issues.

I feel like rear chain sprockets is small in NS, that could be the reason for higher mileage.
