    That you can clearly see in the pictures the way NV was cornering on the banked turn.

    Typical lazy behaviour like puny stock revy engines ? .
    Both are MRF. The front one is Zapper FS (2.75*17) and the rear one is Zapper C (100/90*17). They provide similar feedback as the other MRF tyres. The second one will be answered by Niranjan because he rode the bike much more extensively than me.

    Do you mean a full picture of black bike?If yes then I'm sorry because I don't have a single picture of black one as black is very non friendly for this kind of shoot but I should have clicked atleast one picture of black one.

    For those who might want a softer rear end can set the rear suspension to the softest setting.
    Thanks for the efforts MG .

    2nd softest . One setting doesnt make much of a difference .
    I was thinking it to be on the second hardest or in the middle pos.
    And if NV already gave it 9/10 on this setting , how would it handle like on hard settings !!

    By looking at the design cues for the machine... I'm really having a feeling that.... this bike not only serves the purpose of a power commuter tool, but also presents us the platform on which the future bigger Pulsars would be designed and implemented, like 4-valve revvy engine, sculpted tank, the rear fender et al!!

    With Ninja 250 exciting enough moolahs arround, Bigger Pulsars are now just a matter of time.... the Pulsar 135LS is just a confirmation to that.

    i sincerely hope that we can retrofit a 4-valve head to our existing rides.. when they do launch the 4-valve versions of the larger siblings (which inevitably will happen within the next 10-12 months.).

    Nicely narrated review NV. The pics are superrrb MG. Thumbs Up to you both.

    Felt the bike to be good package for sure with superb looks. Tubeless tyres will be missed though. Rear tail lamp cluster is not up to the rest of the bike.

    I must say the pictures posted here are superb, very professional quality. Same goes for test review. Every angle is covered. But i wish to see a picture of front & rear footpegs which are changed in this Pulsar and also a pictures of cylinder head is required.

    Once again, good work. After long time a true fun machine is arrived in market.

    To Bajaj:
    Good going. Waiting for same modifications in existing Pulsar lineup.
    Thanks modifii. Even I am looking out for the new series of its bigger siblings...
