Does anybody own one ? I am planning to buy one and would like to know first hand about an ownership experience from somebody out here and their feedback about the bike. It would be mostly for city commute with a few highway drives thrown in over the weekends.

^^ Wait for the P135. That would be a better choice considering the features it is offering.

Thanks Moeed, guess I'll do just that ! Meanwhile, I will also need to convince my folks at home as to why I really need another two wheeler !

Hey bike-sake bros .... Even I own this beautiful babes and she is delivering fine for past 16 months ...... Recently clocked 10,000 KM on her ODO and loved every bit of it ...... but truly speaking I have abused her a bit by ripping her beyond 100kmph occasionally on city roads and frequently on highways while touring .... absolutely stable even at 100+ speeds .... with efficient braking system and traction control thanks to her aerodynamic design .... but road grip is some issue in monsoons given those poor eurogrip stock tyres ..... initially when I was riding in the comfortable bracket of 50 to 60kmph, I used to achieve 65kmpl+ but now since I rip it, the mileage has dropped to as low as 45kmpl ... but that was expected given my riding style which pushes the engine to max ..... Also had a couple of crashes including 1 severe skidding event on the 3rd day of purchase itself .... got her entire right side scratched badly and twisted front mud guard and leg guard ...... with some injuries on my right arm and leg as well ..... but since it was my first crash it helped me overcome my fear of falling and made me a more vigilant rider ..... Overall my experience with this beauty has been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging !!

PS: I am looking forward to get some mods done on it ... specially some kool paint job (since the design on it has started wearing off by itself) and front fairing replacement which I damaged a bit in my first crash along with the wind shield which I particularly found a bit low and want to replace it with pulsar's windshield if possible ...... please guide me for the same

Attaching her pics !!


1. Took her to Gorai Beach (~100km round trip) and she performed amazingly well on the beautiful Uttan road curves !!



2. Next I took her all the way to Malshej Ghats (300km+ round trip) where I developed a strong bond with her and she carried me safely thru the entire ghat section !!

3. Pushed her further by riding to thane's mini-Mahabaleshwar aka Jawhar (350km+ round trip) ... It made me respect her all the more given her stable performance even on pothole studded NH8 and constant rains

4. Finally broke the 400km+ barrier by riding her to Bhandardara Dam and returning via Malshej Ghats on same day...Truly an awesome experience !

5. This is from the latest ride to Gorai beach and Uttan village on 16th October, 2010 ... She was having a nice time enjoying the tranquility of this place
