Hi Guys

I am planning to buy a new bike tomorrow

Eariler I was confused b/w Pulsar 180 & RTR 180,
So today I went to ShowRooms and had a Test Ride of Both Bikes

RTR 180 - Engine looked more smooth, I dinnt like poisture
Pulsar 180 - Good Poisture, Was more comfortable wid breaking

I faced problem in shifting gears on both the bikes, they looked kind of hard May be coz I am new to toe shifting. Any way

Now as I dinnt liked the poisture so RTR 180 was out of equation also TVS guy quoted low too much for my glamour

No while talking bajaj salesman I asked him if given chance which bike u will buy P150 or P180

he said He will prefer p150
Coz
U will not notice much difference in performance
Split sear can also be fitted in P150 @ 1400 rs
But there is difference in Milage of 5 kmpl b/w both
Maintanance will be cheaper for 150

All his arguments looked valid to me so I was confused

So I am here infront of all u guys

I travel 42KM on weekdays
Height : 5'11''
Weight : 75KG
Current Bike : Glamour 125

Now My Questions are very simple
Is there any difference in poisture for p150 and p180
what will be diff in maintnance cost, say for 1 year
Is difference in performance is small
What are advantages of Split Handle bar

and at last Which Bike should I buy


few more questions
They have quoted 27,500 for my Glamour (30/12/2007). Is is good price
(Bike is in good condition except few minor scratches)

What checks I should perform Befor Buying new Pulsar

Help me out guys as I will be buying bike tomorrow only

Aryan

Topic Approved.

If you are tall you will be more comfortable on the new P180.. the new P180 is longer and has a wider seat compared to the P150. Also the footpegs have been rear set, so now longer legs can now grip the fuel tank more properly.

The P150 would cost around Rs. 5K less and would return better fuel efficiency than the P180 but then the power / pickup would be comparitively lower as well. apart form that the P180 has wider tyres which are tubeless too (which is a boon as it doesn't deflate suddenly in case of a puncture).

Maintenance wise both the bikes should cost you the same as both bikes share many common parts.


If you are tall and want a comfortable bike and can live with silghtly lesser fuel efficiency, then go for the P180. Best would be to take the test ride of both bikes back to back and then decide for yourself. Who knows you might find the P150 more comfortable than the P180.

maintainence wise not much difference only fuel bill will be higher in the p180 and the price .the seat can be made into a split one at a much lower cost than 1400 as quoted to you .
you get wider tubeles tyres ,a larger disk , longer wheelbase to make cornering more stable in the P 180 , and last but not the least more power

P180 anyday. You might save few bucks on 150cc but you will miss the power of 180CC. And as far as I believe there should not be much difference in the maintenance costs.

One more question

Will my mom be able to sit on P180 comfortably ???
As it have split seat and foot rest seems to be missing

I don't see why you shouldn't be going with the 180.Believe me,showroom guys are nutheads.I've met a variety of them,swear.....for just around 5k extra you get a whole lot of goodies and a better motorcycle.Better because,IMO there are better buys in the 150cc segment than the P150 and the same can't be said to the 180...

Can't really comment about the price for your Glamour..

The foot rest for ladies riding cross legged should be long with the saree guard.. the rear seat is wide and comfortable enough.
